P38 Easy Sanding Body Filler 250ml Tin

Months ago, my wife hit a curb and lost a hubcap on our car. £40 each to replace! Even scuffed up second-hand ones go for £30+ on eBay. I couldn't stand looking at my car like that though as the alloys underneath are in a terrible condition, so I bought this smashed up one off eBay for a tenner. Then I bought this resin body filler and got to work once it arrived. I've never used resin body filler before, so I was really glad that the instructions were very clear, illustrated and written in plain English. I was able to get going straight away used a piece of leftover cardboard to mix up the filler on. As the instructions noted, I started off with just a small bit to get used to using it and also understand how long it takes to dry. It dries very quickly! Definitely inside three minutes, so be prepared to apply it. I roughly sanded the plastic surface of this hubcap with 80 grit sandpaper and it adhered to it very well. As you can see, I also rebuilt sections of the hubcap using sellotape to put the filler on, applying a lot of it (unsurprisingly it didn't adhere to the slick sellotape and moved around a lot) and then sanding it down, again with 80 grit, then moving to 120 grit once the majority of it had been removed. I then primed the surface and sprayed it, with the paint adhering nicely to the filler. The final result is very strong, much stronger than I though, at least and I'm really pleased with the result. This is excellent stuff, great value for money and ideal to have around as you can see it has a number of applications.

Exactly as expected. No issues. Used for car bodywork repair.

Item delivered on time it completed the job everything good

I have just used this in a wooden window frame, easy to mix, easy to apply.....set hard and has sanded down very smoothy, probably not meant for this purpose but needs must.

Excellent filler this I’ve used it on a few things and always been happy with the end result will keep on using this all the time.

Does what it says on the tin. This product has been around for years- it’s still the best

Quick service. 5* seller. Good price. Thanks, but, I remember when a tin this size was at least half full, not a third full.

There needs to be more hardener provided with the pack. If you are using mixing small amounts its easy to add slightly too much and end up having none left.
