Technical Information Bodyfiller
presto Body Filler is a 2-component polyester filling putty as mixture of a medium-elastic, highly reactive, amino-preaccelerated polyester resin with different mineral, environment-friendly fillers.
Applicable on metal, wood, concrete. To fill holes and unevennesses, to rework pretreated surfaces during repair on car body parts and other metal surfaces, for reconditionning and restoration of wood or concrete surfaces, e.g. steps of stairs, fitting of anchor bolts and screws etc.
For universal use in the entire hobby and DIY sector.
Localized corrosion holes with a diameter less than 12 mm, can be filled before with presto Fibre Glass Filler. Localized corrosion holes bigger than 12 mm diameter should be treated with the presto Repair Box.
For preparation and finishing your filling job, we recommend our presto sand papers. We offer a wide assortment of fine and coarse papers for dry and wet sanding.
