Holts Cataloy Car Body Filler, Knifing Putty To Fill Scratches & Stone Chips, Durable & Easy To Use Car Filler, Ideal For All Exterior Bodywork With A Perfectly Smooth Finish, Applicator Included 100g

I used this excellent product for scratch repairs on a plastic car bumper. Application needs to be made quickly and thinly as it dries rapidly and adheres to the surface very well, but very easy to sand to a smooth finish to accept the finishing paints. I am impressed and such a low price too!

Not the best instructions. Applied first coat & sanded, noticed I had sanded in the same direction of the scratches also applied in the same direction so have now applied at about 45 degree angle, will do the same with the sanding, softly. bought the "Wet and Dry Sandpaper 1000 1200 1500 2000 2500 3000 5000 7000 10000" , started with the finest went to the 1200, then reapplied the filler. I am allowing 24 hrs before doing any sanding.Most important not to fill large scratches in line, same as sanding.Yes it works well, bonding to the Zafira paint, primer very well. The Zafira (09) has great paint work, on the body, pity they did not do the same with the under body. It is not bad for 09 plate but could have been better.Watch this space

very smooth

The marketing for the product is fair and in many circumstances this would be an appropriate solution. But this did not work for my intended use. The product is very thick and cannot be wiped into place using finger pressure (for example). A fair amount of force must be applied using scraper to push the product into any gaps or scratches. This might be easy when the surface is large and flat, but for curved and hard to reach small surfaces, application is difficult and messy. I needed a thinner product and this was not it. As said, the marketing description for the product is fair and it's great value, so fair enough.

Very good filler,goes off very fast .

Excellent product - easy to use and durable!!

Great product, would recommend.

This filler is brilliant! I use it to join 3D printed section of RC model U Boat hulls. It sets quickly and is a doddle to sand by hand. The photo shows a 67in long U-boat I 3D printed in 12 sections. This filled the joints and sanded so smooth. Gone through 5 tubes on various projects. No hardener required so no mixing or worry about the right ratios. Just spread it on, wait a short while, sand and paint! Good price too. Just bought more to keep as spare.
