Body filler

Is it ok to put a small amount of body filler over regular high build primer? There is one tiny area that needs to be reshaped
Thanks
 
I would use evervoat metal glaze (or similar) instead, just for ease of sanding. Hit it with 180 first. And always apply epoxy over it, once cured. Fallowed by your 2k

I would say 90 percent of body shops do it, when I hear people say I would never put a glaze or similar product over 2k or epoxy, I call bs.

If that were the case than they had better have found every single inperfection from a scratch to a pin hole in filler prior to thier choice of primer.

Or they would have to take that spot all the way back down to bare steel. And back up again, Yeah right..

I have to side with underdog, I get this question almost everyday and yes once or twice i have put a small amount of filler over the 2K primer, will it work if a small Spot? Yes but not a perfect situation.
 
It was a breakthrough to filler not deep. I put twocoats of epoxy then two of high build. I will block sand and if needed i will put a few more coats of high build and work from there
Thanks for all replies
 
Technically speaking, nothing. Its used all the time. but will increase the chance if bleed through if you were to just use it then proceed to base.

When using a product as its intended to be used its fine. But products get bad reps when they are abused and things go wrong . people ( always blame the products).
 
On occasion after blocking urethane primer I would apply a bit of glazing putty, and then re-prime the area, never had any problems.
