Filler - exothermic reaction - wow!

[Dean Jenkins]

Just amazes me how hot mixed filler gets. Cool chemistry magic.
I have a persistent fear of not putting in enough hardener and having an gooey mess that never cures.
So I mix it a little hot and obsess on mixing it.
Leaves little time to spread, but I've never had a cold batch that didn't harden. Wasted quite a bit though . . . kicked before I could spread it.
Anyway, filler is amazing stuff, used judiciously.

Now for your next experiment, mix up some urea in water.

if you ever need more working time with your filler or your doing a large area get the evercoat quantum with the slow hardener. its really slow and will give you plenty of time to do something like a whole roof in one shot. just dont plan on sanding it for a long time. its been awhile but i remember having like 20-30 min of working time with it.

When I have a large area to skim coat like a roof, I'll mix and spread when the temps are 65 degrees. During the summer I've gotten up at 3:00am to mix and spread filler when it was 65 degrees. It gives me a working window of 10 to 15 minutes.

You can use Rage Ultra Xtra with Rage Ultra to slow it down. The ratio determines how much slower.

Ive been doing this since Im slow. Works well for me.
