Hi! I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods
and we are going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Alex is now going to mix
the final coat of body filler. You've seen him use the "all metal," which is the base
coat. It seals out the welding, it goes against the bare metal and seals everything up and
waterproofs it and rustproofs it. The next layer was the heavy body filler meant to fill,
you know, bigger gaps and all. This top coat...you can also call it glazing, you can call it
icing. It's a real fine putty. It's a lot finer texture. It doesn't get air bubbles
in it as badly. It's closer and closer to the finished product, you know. Your last
coat there is paint and it's real fine textured. So this stuff is a little bit smoother texture.
And you want to make sure your tools are clean and in good condition. Alex is rubbing the
spatula against the wall here to get the last little burrs off of it. You know, if you have
little burrs on your spreader, you'll end up making stripes in your filler and there's
something more you have to fill.
