The shift from Bondo to filler glaze on final coats
I used to layer Bondo up to the very last skim coat, spending forever sanding to get it smooth. About 5 years ago, a older guy at a shop in Portland told me to switch to a lightweight finishing filler for the last pass. Now I save at least 20 minutes per panel and don't get those pinholes that show up after primer. Has anyone else noticed a big difference with the newer lightweight glazes?

20 minutes per panel? That seems like a stretch. I'vedone the lightweight filler thing and yeah it sands easier but I still get pinholes if I'm not careful with the mix. You sure you weren't just rushing with the Bondo before?

Haven't we all been there though with the pinholes, @rowank69?
