Weather is starting to warm up! I worked outside this week so that I could enjoy it.
I knew that this area would be hard as the divot is almost 1/4 inch deep. I was worried about this because, when you get the filler to thick, I learned last week, it will just chip off, and you have to redo that whole area again. Luckily, I was able to fill the divots with only one major problem. On one of my thickest coats of putty, on the passenger side of the truck, I did not put enough hardener in the filler. This was a very big problem as it did half-way dry. This meant that I had to find a way to take it off, which was not easy at all. I knew that I couldn't try to sand it off as it would just clog the pores in the sandpaper as soon as it got a little heat to it. The way that I ended up doing it was taking a straight razor and skimming it off like they do to those ice cream rolls on the frozen tops. This was a very tedious process as I could not take that much off at a time. I eventually did get it all off. I then had to re-sand the area, clean it, and do putty all over again. Although, this time I made sure to put enough hardener in it. The driver side definitely went a lot more smoother than the passenger in the sense of complications. While I was working on these areas, I also hit up a couple of spots on my roof, passenger door, bed fenders, and front fenders. The only one of these that really took some time is the passenger door. I had a pretty big dent, right on a body line, that I had to try and fill. Except, instead of filling trying to make it flat, I had to build the bodyline back out. This was sort of complicated at first, but I realized I could lay on a little more than I needed and sand it down to get the shape I needed.
