Thanks for all your informative videos. Some questions regarding the steps you are using: - the first time you use a 220 grit with a block, you don't spray a guide coast. It is because the goal of this step is to remove any orange peel? - what do you call a finish sander ? Is it a short-throw sander (~ 2.5 mm ) ? - a 220, 320 and 400 grit on a finish sander would be equivalent to which grit on a casual sander ( ~5 mm throw) ? - It seems that you don't use an interface pad. Is it safe for beginners ? In which cases would we need to use one?

Sorry for taking a while to respond. We’re traveling out west in the mountains and have limited service. I usually don’t use guide coat at first. You’re correct I’m just blocking mostly orange peel. I strive to make sure my body work is straight before primer so blocking is just to fine tune everything. When I do use guide coat it’s between each different grit of paper to make sure all sand scratches are eliminated. I use Dynabrade finish sander. I don’t know what throw it is but you’ll get a better finish than a regular DA although I didn’t use a finish sander for years and had good results. As far as the pads it’s a personal choice but I like a semi soft pad that still stays firm to get everything flat but still flexes enough on curves. Hope this helps and thanks for watching

How much can you shrink the area? I have a 1/4" high spot over a 6 inch area (deep dent that stretched the metal).
@autobodytrainingsolutions83820 күн бұрын
There’s really no end to how much you can shrink. You can do as many as need over a large area to work it down. When this was a common practice I remember sometimes having to do 15 or 20 on a panel if that’s what it took. Great question. Thanks for watching.

7:48 great trick. filling pinholes with regular bondo instead of overpriced glazing putty. This reminds me. I've never tried to use bondo over sanded 2k surfacer. You know ,for filling lows,scratches and pinholes that are left after blocking the first coat of 2k surfacer. Im scared what would happen in a long term after a panel is painted. But glazing puttys are just too much overpriced. Im thinking about doing a test panel(fender or door) using a regular bondo mixed with fiberglass resin to thin it 🤔. Then after block-sanding the primer for first time i will use the bondo-fiberglass mix to fill the scratches, pinholes and low spots.Then will sand to level it. Then again a coat of 2k surfacer and then finish sand before paint.No sealer.No glazing putty.Then when i paint the panel i will leave it outside for an year to do the test.
@autobodytrainingsolutions83820 күн бұрын
I quit using glazing putty years ago. I found that it dried a little harder than bondo and it sanded harder until you knocked the top surface off. I want everything to sand at the same rate to get a more consistent surface. I will also use the razor blade trick to fill pinholes after priming then block sand as normal and seal and paint. Never had an issue. Thanks for your comment Petar and for watching

I really can’t recommend a specific brand but a dual stage compressor puts out a lot more air than a single stage. Also get the biggest tank you can afford and have room for. Sandblasters use a lot of air but but can be run off smaller tanks as long as it’s a dual stage pump. Thanks for watching

The video was decent, but I wish you would have [muted out the tool sounds some] and explained things such as, “after I used the surface conditioner, I used blah blah tool with “x” grit on it- so those of us who don’t know anything about auto body can understand what you’re using. Maybe edit the video, or make a supplementary one explaining the order of operations with the tool usage. I, for one am basically brand new to auto body. It IS “Auto Body Training Solutions” after all! 😎 Thank you in advance.
