body filler problems
Anyone ever have body filler bubble up on them? About a week after we finished painting my e30, i got a few bubbles pop up around my door patches and once on the hood. I'm not real experienced with it but Ive never seen body filler bubble out like that... I can post some pics later. |

I've seen it years ago. Did you apply it while it was raining outside or high humidity? Body filler hardens pretty quick but if there's moisture in the air or on the surface it will bubble. Or if the surface was cool or if freshly wet sanded and not totally dry it will do the same because when you mix filler with hardener it creates a chemical reaction that generates heat. Too thick of a layer of filler will do the same as a co-hort just told me, it's got to be applied in thin layers according to him. He rec's sanding the surface, wiping down with prep-sol or alcohol to absorb & evaporate the moisture then apply your filler. |

yeah we applied it in thin layers and used a paint prep solvent to clean it... i took a few pics tonight. i went to change the brakes and rotors and my left caliper was seized. i think ill grab a caliper off an e30 at the local junk yard. i also ran into problems with my new wheels. wen i ordered them i told the guy 91 e30... i need the right offset. he told me they would be a perfect fit. turns out the tire hits the strut... wont even turn. im kinda pissed about that |
