With the current bodywork underway certain urethane parts are requiring a little filler just to level out a few imperfections. Came across Polyflex which I think might be U.S. product http://www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index. ... vjQBJ.dpbs

Anybody using that? Possibly a good filler for us here in the U.K. that'll work with urethane?

Anyone care to comment, what are you using?

Thanks :)

The U.S is big on Evercoat (as it's their homebrand) , it's starting to filter across here over the past few years. Their Rage Gold has a very good reputation. The brand is equivalent to our friend Upol, that carries 2 flexible fillers: ISOPON BUMPER FILL, and then their PLAST X range.

3m also have plastic flexible adhesives that normally come in dual tubes (so that you get the correct mix when squeezing from a dispenser gun). I would ideally go with 3m but their prices are definitely premium, for anything including masking tape.

I've not had to repair plastic before, so i can't speak for any of the products though i'm afraid! I think with any of the ones mentioned you will certainly get the best repair :thumbup:

Are you taking pics of all the repairs as they go along? Be good to see some project progress :thumbup:

Cheers!

Thanks for the recommendations :) 3M do decent quality products, but are they completely worth the price? I think not, good as they are there's quite a few other manufactures supplying products of the same high standard without a price tag quite as high as 3M's.

I went with Polyflex, from the reviews it does look to be a decent product worthy of the job. I have been taking photos. I'll post em up pretty soon as the work progresses :)

Yes - on the top left "subscribe to topic" will send you notifications when a reply is posted. Bookmarking saves a topic but won't (Shouldn't) send email updates. HTH!
