   just in the middle of some doorpods and am onto the body filler to smooth them over, just one thing though the filler is a bit thick and want it more runny, could i put resin in to make it more runny and also would i just have to use more cream hardner if i did

   think the idea of it being thick is so you can put loads on and then sand down to the desired level you want

   you can't mix anything into the filler, yes it's thick but you only need to mix a bit up then apply it, when you start to apply it will go on easy if you put to much hardenner in it will go off really quick and if the room your doing it in is hot this will make it go off quicker, best bet just mix little bits up and apply let it go off, sand down then re applly, put to much on and it will sink

   dont think it down with anything ffs you will just fuck up all the chemical reactions that make it set etc and it will just stay like gue or could just not stcik etc etc just use it as it is

   ive already got the stuff just seemed thick and am sure someone said to mix it with resin lol oh well i will do it bit by bit, also i have just bought some applicators as i used a tile grout applicator on the ipod holder and was a pain, plus the doorpods will be easier to sand, im still sanding the ipod holder, which am now think of just making it out of MDF as its becoming a night mare to sand down DOH

   resin is what fibre glass is used with, but as long as you don't mix it with anything else other than hardener
