I missed the fact that the Cavity Wax came with a tube.
I ended up using Eastwood Internal Frame Coating.
I REALLY liked it. The stuff even creeped and came out a couple places around the body,...

First paint job was a success. Thank you to everyone on this forum, this is where I received 50% of my painting education. That's a lot considering that I've probably watched 40 hours worth of You...

Is it safe to use Pre-Sol if I believe I have cut through the clear coat in a few areas?
You cannot even see that I had cut through the clear coat along the racing stripes, and where I did it is...

Quick taping question.

I plan to spray the Epoxy Primer, then allow the 6hrs Len recommended before spraying the high-build primer.
Due to scheduling conflicts, it will be actually be 20 hrs...

This is stellar advice!! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this.

I feel like Epoxy is still the way to go for the first coat. Unless I'm missing something, or over thinking...

Ah, it is too late. I read a bunch of debates on "primer first or bondo first" . Nobody mentioned the fiberglass filler. That would have been a good choice.

Is this another reason to go with an...

Due to sentimental value and now real money invested, I hope to keep this car for another 10+ years.

I understand that Epoxy is king for durability and bond strength. It also sounds like it is...

Thanks Bob!

I used my hands to slather and goop seam sealer in every place I could reach with my fingers. I think I was able to cover and seal all the welded areas, but there were corners of...

Clarification question first:
