What filler to use?

Postby d12bn » Mon Oct 10, 2016 2:04 pm

I have my vending machine sandblasted,treated the rust and primed. It has some pitting and a few pin holes. Should I use bondo, filler or something like Metal to Metal?
Thanks

I would use spot putty if it is only pitting and pinholes. That way no mixing,you can use straight out of the tube.

I found metal filler from Bondo in a pint size can for $20. It's drys very hard and makes a good base coat. Then finished with regular bondo and fill n glaze.

Looking pretty great nice attention to the details
Looking for survivor machines especially vendor fronts or original side vendors with or without
a machine. 1920's-30's goosenecks, round escalators. I enjoy hand painting the castings.
