Things where going so smooth on my project, almost too smoothly but, my lack of experience caught up with me.
I started a thread about week ago on how to get extra working time when using body filler in 90 plus degrees weather. It was recommended to use Evercoat Ultra and Evercoat Ultra Extra. I purchased a gallon of each and went to town applying a skim coat to my 1/4 panel. I was very impressed with my skim coating skills until 24 hours later. The filler hadn't dried. Obviously I didn't put enough hardner in the mix.
Today I bladed off the filler and am left with a slight filler residue film. I put my fan on it to see if it would dry out the film so I could sand it off. It appears to work but, here is my question.
1. By sanding off the remaining film using 80 grit on a DA, will this be okay, or am I just imbedding the film into the epoxy?
2. HELP.......I really don't know what to do at this point. Any and all recommendation welcome.
