Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
I got the same stuff, to use on my autocar project. put it on let it set and was ready to sand , and I could pull it off the body like a layer of skin. wouldnt stick to body. well did in some parts but still not great. so frustrated now the body a mess I feel like scraping the whole thing.

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
Also if you are using compressed air to blow things off make sure you are using a separator and a filter in line to stop oil and water from getting on the model. Even worse if contaminates from the compressed air are getting on the model then you use a rag to wipe it off you are just smearing the contaminants all over the model. Just some things to think about.

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
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.

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
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

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
all i can say is make sure you scuff up the area you are working on with at least 220 grit.drying time is also a factor as Travis said.i don't bother to wipe down the area but it is a good idea to.i have yet to have a adhesion problem

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
Travis I guess you missed the part were I said that body shops use Prep-Sol to get rid of the contamination and it is more compatible with the materials you use to clean what you are painting or filling. Ed

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
easy guys I use to have flaking and peeling with evercoat glase ( can't remember the # ) on plastic > my remedy was a good scratching before use and be sure you have your mix right , not to much or to little hardner. I haven't used the new stuff yet as metioned by Spudd , soon though Oh , obviously make sure you have no impurities ie water , oil , etc .

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
Adhesion is only going to happen if the surface is scuffed. this is a must with any coating used in auto body work. the surface has to be scuffed/etched for a mechanical adhesion.

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
thanks for all the help guys. I did lightly sand the body with 220 grit but either didn't scuff enough of didn't clean it well enough. I will get it figured out I hope
I have always used 3m bondo filler for my other scale rc projects, and never had peeling problem before, but it srinks to much for my liking . I have heard great stuff about the ever-coat so I will get this figured out. again thanks for the help guys. nice to have forums like this |

Re: evercoat poly-flex filler
I bought the Evercoat Poly-flex 411 and read this thread before I used it, followed Travis'
advice, 220 grit scuff, 91% rubbing alcohol let it set over night and then put the putty on it and it worked nice. As far as peeling and flaking, I used a scrap peice of styrene to mix on, since it was smooth the dried putty peeled right off. I started to get some peeling because the mix started to set as I was going around the top of the cab. When it kicks off it goes pretty fast. I just stopped, cleaned the flakey stuff off and made a new batch to finish with. Thanks for all the help out there! Last edited by TRUCKMAKER; 03-22-2012 at 05:02 PM. |
