I know what you mean! Some people even do it to 50's hot rods i.e fill all the rust holes up with bog and ignore the real issue...don't know how they sleep at night With my repairs they might look lumpy straight off the grinder, but they're still strong and then use a little bit of filler to finish it off.Brumby Kid wrote:I'm not a big fan of using bog, well not for big rust holes that is.
I prefer to use it the way you are Sam, welding up the patches first, then smoothing it out with bog.
In America it seems to be all that they use. They cover the whole car in bog, and then get a plane that matches the cars contour and smooth it to a perfect finish.
So the end result is metal, lots of bog and then paint.

Jonno it could have been the earth clamp now I think of it, maybe some paint in the way giving a dodgy connection. Amazing you saw your first choice of first car 30 years on! and even more that you still have your second choice With filler I think it's important to do it on a dry day, onto clean bare metal and keep it dry until you can paint it. Any moisture will destroy the plastic stuff eventually.
