I got my evercoat for like $45 for a gallon, and I'm not a buisness/shop.

A few of my welds I can't get behind and I only have basic hammer and dolly and a welder. This car isn't goig to be valueble any time soon, I'd like to at least get the body done so I can be out in spring. It should need much filler just a glazing over most patch work.

Ya if you shop around you can find Rage, Rage gold, Rage Extreme etc. at good prices.
I'm paying like $15-$20 a gallon for the Light weight at my jobber and the Plastic honey a qt can lasts forever a little bit goes a long ways its like $15 qt. You can add or use it in almost all of their Fillers BUT not all of them, The Polly fillers are a no no for sure I don't know about the newer stuff like Quantum.

For using filler on a deeper dent, is there a different filler I should apply first before the evercoat rage gold?

Thx

I don't know? the instruction on there web sight or on the can's don't say to use it that way that I have ever read.

I am guilty of having done it & I have never read anything about doing it that way.
Generally stacking materials is a no no a Bad thing.

WELDS SHRINK PERIOD.You don't shrink a puckered weld seam you stretch via hammer on dolly.
