tr graham Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 put bondarust straight to the bare metal or over a primer before any filler or shaping graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Bondarust first then block the whole panel and fill the low spots then re-coat with Bondarust and then prime/paint. Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Herrod Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I am just at this stage and on a bit of a learning curve - give me mechanicals/ electricals any day. What does anyone recommend as not too expensive blocks to use for blocking the panels? There seems to be a whole range of rigid/ less rigid, fixed abrasive/paper, cheap/expensive. All recommendations gratefully received, thanks Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) I use these, not cheap but very good guality and in the great scheme of things when preparation is everything............ https://www.frost.co.uk/7-piece-dura-block-sanding-kit-block-sander/ Iain Edited October 8, 2020 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 We are old school here, I use one of these Rubber block and I had a local woodworkers make me a long block from some fancy South American hardwood it measures 290mm x 55mm and so can utilise a full sheet of paper wrapped round it and its hard enough to be able to leave it in the rubbing down water bucket for days without absorbing anything. Thats a great one to produce absolutely dead flat panels. I also have some smaller wooden blocks which are useful for smaller areas and this one for wheel arch flared curves as well Wedge block.

Dave Herrod Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thanks Iain and Stuart. I happen to have some suitable hardwood tucked away in the garage, so will start there. Now to explore lead loading! Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
