mr. surfacer?
Posted by flaver on Saturday, January 12, 2008 5:29 PM

I have seen it, I have read about it, but when do you guys use it?

It's not a primer right?

Yes it is. But is also is a light thin filler too.

I use it to dress up little surface or seam flaws. I apply it with a brush dabbing it into place. It can also be thinned and airbrushed.

Check this thread for more information as to how I use it.

I think Mr. Surfacer is nothing more than automotive primer-sealer, spot putty and lacquer thinner/acetone mixed together and sold in an expensive bottle. just my opinion of courseSmile [:)]My 2 cents [2c]

Just build it (and post pics when youre done)

There are basically two versions: 1000 and 500. I use 1000 as a primer. As a primer, thinned with Mr.Color thinner and airbrushed on, it drys extremely fast, levels out beautifully and fills tiny scratches. I use it as a base coat for alclad all the time as well.
