paint Isolator in rattle cans ??

[novashed]

is it available for use with celly in rattle cans. i dont have many areas to use it on, just some bits of smoothed areas where a 'larger than i wanted area' was filled but left long to settle. just dont want the solvents reacting with the celly im going to use,

any pointers guys?

Do you mean sealer? I'm sure you could probably find some in an aerosol. But are you priming before topcoat anyway? The primer should be fine over filler.

i am priming yes, just heard that i may have problems sinkage using celly, especially with some areas having a fair amount of filler on. just wanted to be on the safe side

will celly to avoid shrinkage best trick is to roughly finish your filling, but leave it a little over sized, then when its gone off, dose the area with neat celly thinnners, usually by spraying them neat from the gun and let them evaporate off. This will pre-shrink the filler. Now finish sanding it and spray away

cheers bud never thought of that but makes perfect sense lol.

as the fillerhas been left a while now anyway it will need another good rub down and re aplication due to moisture absorption do you think?

[alistairk]

where has it been and how long has it been?

Put it this way I took a load of my car back to bare metal, left the car parked in the garage for a week (last week in all the damned rain too) and there is no oxidation on the bare metal, still good and shiny so just parked up in doors moisture shouldn't be a problem.

Parked up under a cover, tarp, car port, or in use in this weather is a differnt matter.

its garaged, but some of the filler has been on for about a good 3-4months, most under primer though,

[alistairk]

if its red oxide primer or hammerite andtirust primer it should be fine. But primer is porous so you may have problems if its been allowed to get wet. If its been in store all this time you should be OK but I'd get some kind of heater and warm the areas of filler up for a bit (not so they get HOT but so they are warmed through and any moisture evaporates off)
