The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Body Filler

Has anyone used the product, ALL METAL body filler and if so did you like it?

Yes it works great and a magnet will stick to it!If we are talking about the same thing.

Are you using it now? If so, how is it to work with? Does it set up quickly? Where did ya get it?

Boy, that's a lot of questions!!!

Seems to set up about the same as Bondo, & it seems I need a skim coat of reg Bondo or finishing glaze to fill some imperfections-it is not as smooth as reg Bondo cause it has metal in it. My local FLAPS carries it, right next to the Dynalite & other brands of filler.

Dont care for it one bit. IMO evercoat's rage or rage gold is far superior to all metal...Eric

When it comes to filling in small holes or over body seams All metal works good because it is not affected by moisture, which would cause polyester body filler to lift. As far as body filler goes I agree with Eric, evercoats rage is by far superior. Matt

apreciate the responces, I have used all differing types of fill before, don't like running lead, was looking for something in a can that would be easier and seems like this is the item, and from what I have heard good for rust pin hole spot coverage after blasting

I see no reason for a filler with metal in it unless the purpose is to thwart the magnet test if you're going to sell the vehicle. Most regular body fillers are a permanent, quality repair when used properly.

All Metal uses aluminum powder for the filler. It is not magnetic. It does not adsorb moisture.
It is harder to work than other body fillers and can cost about twice as much.
It's a good product for areas that may absorb moisture but does not compare to Evercoat Rage or Gold for workability and finish IMO.

OK, I'm not familliar with the product. I was going by Truckman's post about a magnet sticking to it.

Thats why I wanted to use it, for those areas like lower cab cowls, corners and such. That was what I had heard about it. thanks

If you are looking for something like that, use a reinforced filler, like marglass made by several companys under different names, has sm strands of fiberglass and is water resistant. mixes like bondo. This is a great base for weak/pinhole areas to beef it up. use a regular filler over it to finish the area.
