Directions for Use 1. Wash surface with soap and water to remove water soluble contaminants. Follow
the soap and water wash with an appropriate VOC compliant product for removal
of surface contaminants.
Note: If grinding is required use a grade 50 3M grinding disc, blow off the
sanding dust with clean dry air. When repairing galvanized steel, e- coat, primed/
painted surfaces or aluminum, sand with grade P80 3M abrasive to remove the
paint/primer. Blow off with clean dry compressed air and re-clean the surface
using a clean paper or cloth towel and a wax & grease remover/surface cleaner.
2. Sand the surface as needed with grade P40 to P80 3M abrasive.
Note: If grinding is required use a grade 50 3M grinding disc, blow off the
sanding dust with clean dry air. When repairing galvanized steel, e- coat, primed/
painted surfaces or aluminum, sand with grade P80 3M abrasive to remove the
paint/primer. Blow off with clean dry compressed air and re-clean the surface using
a clean paper or cloth towel and a wax & grease remover/surface cleaner.
3. Apply the required amount of body filler to a clean mixing surface. (Do not use
discarded cardboard as a mixing surface as contamination may occur.) The
correct hardener to filler ratio = 3 inch diameter circle approximately 1/2 inch
thick of filler to a 3 inch strip of cream hardener.
4. Mix the body filler and cream hardener thoroughly, to a uniform color.
Gel time/setting time is approximately 3-5 minutes @ 77 F (24 C) using 2%
hardener as prescribed. Spread the filler on the mixing board, being sure to
break any air bubbles that were introduced during mixing.
5. Apply a thin layer using firm pressure to ensure maximum adhesion being sure to
wet out the surface completely. Apply additional filler in layers, building up the
damaged area higher than the surrounding surface. Maximum filler thickness
should not exceed 1/4 inch. Allow curing time of 20 minutes.
6. Sand the filler to the proper contour with 3M abrasives, using the following
recommended grade sequence: P40, P80, P180. Note: If more filler is needed
blow off with clean dry compressed air and follow steps 2 through 6.
7. Wait approximately 45 minutes before applying primer and paint, always follow
your paint company s recommended procedures.
Applications Repair of cosmetic surface imperfections in properly prepared auto body, industrial,
and architectural substrates.
