I am good with whatever works for you Frank.K13, with your permission, I think this thread should be moved to Reference Material - Body Related.
It's not what works for me but, given the awesome content, it should not get buried in the mire of random discussions over time.I am good with whatever works for you Frank.
Compressor oil would smell like oil and there is no way it would cause filler to break down. They obviously didn't actually have a failure or they would have brought it up immediately. They were trying to end around the insurance company for something they screwed up.That is exactly what they were doing, although with the spots randomly spaced all over maybe this is the answer. The filler was always suspect by those that looked at it because of the smell (of an open can of white lightning) of the ejected oil, would compressor oil smell like that? When they analysed the bondo or samples that were taken as far as breaking down no one ever told me what was found. In the end I heard the father (who owned the shop) stopped the insurance thing as their rates would have gone up.
Possibly, however as stated the whole car was not stripped and redone, so likely some of the areas blistering were paint over paint? IE; hood and trunk? Which even makes this more perplexing. Usually oil in the lines will cause small (dime size or usuallyI have a feeling that there was some operator error involved in the process....
Yup...exactly... dont think you will ever know...Thanks for starting this thread K13. I had no idea what was in fillers....and I see that I did tend to put too much hardener in when I was using them.....but I think we kind of high jacked your thread... I would also like to read anything on difference between primers and sealers or are they the same thing...all good stuff I’m sure we could all benefit from..I hate to say it but I feel some shortcuts were taken just looking at those pictures and what you have told me ,not removing all the paint on that quarter when he had already repaired 3/4 of it, not removing old filler before reapplying etc. More often than not these kind of things lead to problems especially when you are talking about time periods when there were a number of technology changes and compatibility issues are highly probable.
