Default Re: What are the pro's/con's of todays body work

I think that the new glazing putty being used is a 2 part system... I personally use a 2 part Evercoat Product.
I remember when everyone used that red glazing putty that had solvents in it and dried by releasing the solvents...
That stuff cracked BAD! sometimes many years after the paint was put on. It seems like it was put on too thick by alot of people... it was never meant to build it was meant to fill pinholes and minor imperfections. When it is applied thick the solvents take along time to work their way out... then it cracks and blisters the finished paint.
