I would say it is one of three problems. 1 body prep was not done right scuffing the surface and removing contaminates. 2 the filler and hardener was not mixed correctly. 3 incompatibility of the material being covered. Don't give up just clean it off and try again. I always clean my parts with rubbing alcohol and let them dry for a few min before I add body filler or primer. A good tack cloth also works good for getting rid of the dust left behind that compressed air or a wipe down with a rag just wont get.

I have been using the new poly flex and I have been so impressed I through away the other ever-coat fillers I had.

thanks travis, I belive it is one of those factors too, I don't get as much time as I want to work on my hobbies so when I do I tend rush it , so it was probably that. I will start peeling the filler off and start all over. time to get my butt in gear and start building and working on that stuff again. have to get motavated hard to do that latley.

Rubbing alcohol is not a good product to us it has water in it what you want is denatured alcohol you can get it at Home Depot in quarts and gallons. Prep-Sol is what body shops use to clean off contamination you get that at your body shop supply store. Ed

Denatured alcohol is not friendly with styrene it tends to melt it. That is why I use rubbing alcohol and give it time to dry before working with it and at 92% that doesn't have a lot of water in it. The rubbing alcohol wont add near as much water as when we wet sand the cabs.
