Sorry for delay work sucks currently

That's funny that you say that it sands easier than Slick Sand. I used it when I did my black Squarebody hood and found it to be like sanding a big smooth rock. Pushed it to the back of the shelf.

You should try "Slick sand" Cement! I use 80grit to open it up quickly going to 180 and finer after opening it up.
For me the problem is having to put down enough for the open up then having enough left over to work.

I can see a use for the stuff I really can but. It would depend on were you use it I suppose.
Its a Polly, they have their place, I suck at mixing Filler and spreading large amounts evenly over large areas before it starts setting up. That's is when a Polly excels. BUT it is stiff does not like to flex like normal fillers.

This is one of my favourite vehicles of all time, would love to put a Cummins in it :goodjob:

Doug hasn't been around for a while last reported the 38 was up and running driving and painted but needed interior finished up. he bought a new house and was working on restoring his new house.

Rob Has many nice projects his current build is his 59 MG he has Build thread of that going currently. He does not have a Power wagon currently to my knowledge? not that I can remember I know he would like on like that pictured though.

My Corvette that was ate by the neighbors dog has been repaired but is not repainted yet, The Transmission had a failure of reverse was removed and was rebuilt and reinstalled recently but the transmission has to come back out for warranty work as it does not function properly.
My Firebird project is stalled waiting on parts to finish it up, I work a full time job and pay a mortgage and other bills to add to it my health isnt the best currently so progress is really slow but I keep picking at it.

Unfortunately like Dennis said, I don't have a Power Wagon let alone that beauty. Wish I did but they've become insanely expensive.

Bought some of that Super Build primer, haven't used it yet. What really caught my eye was that it was DTM which is handy when you end up sanding through to metal here and there.
