Heya RT...It's nice stuff...Squeeze it outta the tube..Add some cream hardener and mix...Spreads nice, but wont level on it's own.(to thick)..I always press good and hard, scraping it across the surface for the 1st coat..Forces it into all the nooks and cranny's.Then you can put on a nice build layer...I let it dry 24 hours and sand with 80 grit...Sands nice, harder than a regular body filler, but not as hard as Fiberglass.

If yer careful on yer application, no pinholes and what not..You can prime right over it....Sometimes you have to go back for some pinhole filling though..LOL..Depends on how silly ya got with it I guess:bounce:

Oooo Noooo!...You need to do normal Prep with it...Sorry should have mentioned that!

I'd use a good degreaser 1st..(Wipe it down)..Then sand with 80 grit, wash again with the degreaser...Then apply the Fibertech....That's what I do anyway...You can take a hammer to the stuff after words..hahaha..Holds good!

Everytime you are using a body filler you should always prep the surface get all your sanding done, then to make the body filler adhere well to the surface I have always made it habit to wipe down with a grease and wax remover before filling and before priming. Good results will always follow. Everybody knows hopefully a Great Paint job is dependent on great prep work.

Sorry to jump in, but evercoat does have a flexible poly glaze that is made for plastics that bonds excellent. Just my 2 cents.

[REDTAIL]

FiberTech is pretty good stuff, but I use Lord Fusor on plastics. I think they are pretty equal as far as quality though.
