Workin on the '66 I'm using some new lightweight body filler, "Ultra-Lite Plastic Filler" I think...when sanding, it is getting really, REALLY hot...too hot to touch almost....is this normal? The regular body filler I've used doesn't get that hot....I can't even hand sand this stuff.

ur puttin to much hardener in it sounds like. light weight filler doesnt take much harder. gota think tis a chemical reaciton when u mix the 2 parts together.

This was getting hot after it was cured and I was sanding...I did put a lil' too much in and it set-up on me faster then I wanted, but not enough to make it hot while putting it on.

Baha-
I was using a pneumatic DA and a hand flex-board, both got it really hot. I'll try again tomorrow after it has cured overnite to see if it still gets hot or not.

I mean, it cooled down after I stopped sanding, I'd sand again and it'd get hot again. Maybe it is just a chemical reaction...i'll see how it behaves tomorrow.

yeah, i failed physics...well, i never took it actually

I sanded on it yesterday, it still got hotter then the other stuff, but not nearly as hot as it was. Maybe I"m stronger then I think...lots of practice with the motion I guess.

we used to do that in body shop we would mix the fiberglass resin up ina lil cup and when it would harden and get real hot we would put the cups down kids shirt and they would flip out
Dfwminis.com, Ricekiller.com those are some cool sites check'em
