Everyone I know says two things about filler.

1) Bondo brand sands like chit. Hard a a rock.
2) Evercoat is like butter. A lot of people use Evercoat's Rage Gold. I have been using there Z Grip. It sands real nice. Not like Rage but it is tougher than Rage.

I work second shift and go to school during the week so I can't swing that. I have to work tomorrow. So I am guessing I will be working next Saturday too. If I don't have to work I have to go car shopping with the woman at the soonest possible minute I have off from work. Next Sunday is fine or the weekend after if that doesn't work.

I like Evercoat products in general. All are great for their purposes. The light easily sanded fillers should be kept to the thinnest coats, as they are softer, and can be damaged, even after paint is on it.
Anywhere I have any sharp edges, or more than just slight build, I use Duraglass. It's really hard, and no fun to sand, but it's the strongest filler I've ever seen. My body/paint guy showed it to me long ago by tossing a softball sized chunk on the concrete floor as hard as he could throw. It didn't even chip, just bounced. Really tough stuff!

i have some bodoglass dont know if thats as good but it too is super tough,i hope to keep my filler to a minum if i needed it more than an 1 eighth inch think then the spot needs miore work,i got the bondo glass to try when i do my hood scoop,used it before it hardens like concrete but the evercoat is probably much better stuff but that probably doesnt sand very smooth,i can give the duraglass a try on spots where needed.
