Body filler
Most body fillers have a ratio of 50:1 which means 50 parts filler to 1 part Catalyst.
A good way to get these ratios right is to imagine a match box full
of filler and a match of catalyst. as most match boxes have 50 matches
when full.
Fiberglass reinforced filler is best for filling small dents and
regular body filler is best for pin holes or skiming over surfaces.
I have found that mixing smaller amounts of filler creates less waste
and gives a longer working time for the same volume of filler, as large
batches have you working against the clock.
