  5. Upol easy has been very good and easy to use, and just read a build thread where the fella recommended u pol fantastic so I'm going to try that next :thumbsup:

  6. It's traditional on busses to use chicken wire and old newspapers, particularly on structural members. Flour and water's fine as well.
     
  7. I thought Upol Fantastic was definitely better than Easy with far fewer pinholes.

  8. Though I do miss the free and easy days of Isopon and chicken wire now I come to think of it.

  10. When he had fillered and sanded where he needed, he mixed the fantastic 50/50 with that runny dolphin glaze in the squeeze bag (not used it) to make a finer surface filler to skim the larger panels before primer
     
  11. found plenty of this when we began cutting out the rust.
     
  12. Love the names like Upol Fantastic, it reminds me of a protein product the body builders used to buy in the gym called Great Stuff.

  20. Lead load it like a good boy.

    Oh, sorry forgot it's a VW. Chicken wire, newspaper and PVA.

    Actually, any old Marmite you've got lying around the garage, the damper the better.
