I have the same 8" DA....what a beast for shaping bondo! Mine looks rougher than yours and has been around since 3M disc adheshive days!! I was trying to find a can of that stuff as I have a box of the old dry style 3M disc I hate to waste. Someone said Elmers craft glue....I'm gonna try it....and then I'm moving up to hook & loop. It's been a minute, can you tell? lol, Kids are saying whaaaat???

@@LakesideAutobody FYI, I picked up a can of Elmers spray CraftBond, and it seems to work about identically to the old 3M adheshive. WalMart, under $5. OK, off to the Sherwin Williams store for some more sticker shock!! PPG quoted me $84 for their cheapest pint of urethane base that they assured me probably won't match!

@EBthere 2 года назад

Jerry they're no more than 1/4 or 3/8" deep. So any deeper then I should use 40 grit. It's a 6" DA. Thank you so much for your helpful reply. Now to figure out why I can't reply to anyone on youtube. I can comment but can't reply. I seek no one else's advice except yours. :) Lucky you huh lol.

@randymack1782 2 года назад

last 2 shops I worked at, the 4 1/2" angle grinders were used a lot, but for metal fitting, cutting metal, cutting old metal, and rough grinding welds close, then finish up with air to full smooth welds. good & bad, but 1 thought it cheaper, than running compressor for air tools, so primary used electric, other than DA sander, & a shop even before that used air, except had an electric jitterbug, and an electric DA sander. shaking my head....... 1 shop I worked at in late 1980's used 16 grit, 9" disc on air grinder, it was used to smooth welds on trailers, only place in my life that used anything that coarse & 9"

@LakesideAutobody 2 года назад

Hi Jerry. For some reason I can't reply to your reply lol. These dents on this 70 C10 are like 3 inches long and wide. They're not itty bitty. Still okay with what I mentioned? Also, I should I use 40 grit instead of 80 or is 80 is fine for prepping these dents for bondo. I'm a 65 year old novice so bear with me :).Thank you again.

@LakesideAutobody 2 года назад

If they are not that deep, you're fine. 80,120, even 220 with work fine to put your filler over. Feel free to ask as many ?s as you need - no worries.

@bigblockkings1031 2 года назад

66 years old now and been doing my bodywork the way I was taught when I was 18 and have never had any problems. I've seen guys sand metal to 600 grit paper then add the filler. I know filler sticks good but I don't know about that.

@LakesideAutobody 2 года назад

You're right. The surface has to be prepared correctly - then you'll never have a problem :)

@timg734 Месяц назад

i started to spray my truck with shopline paint and noticed sanding marks still in the body work what grit paper should I use and how long should I wait to sand it?

@LakesideAutobody Месяц назад

Wait till the next day to be really safe and wet sand with 400 grit. It's normal to see sand scratches on the 1st coat - after that you should be fine.

@EBthere 2 года назад

Hello, could I use a DA with 80 grit for grinding small dents(3-4 inches by 1/4-3/8 deep)? Question is meant for prepping the dent for bondo. I do have a rubber block sander and a 16 inch board sander but might be hard to get into the dent. Thank you sir.

@LakesideAutobody 2 года назад

Yes. The way to fix hail damage and small dings is to do something like you're saying. You can DA sand the ding/dent and fill with either regular body filler or 2K glazing putty like Evercoat or something similar - sands very easy:)

@jayinmi3706 2 года назад

Of all the channels I watch about paint, I've noticed you use more aggressive sand paper grits than most of the others. Just an observation. Does some of that have to do with knowing the product you use will cover it?

@LakesideAutobody 2 года назад

I'm not quite sure if these guys like Eastwood, various YT channels actually worked in a production body shop. When working for dealerships, private owned shops, MACCO, etc I was always on commission pay - no time to play around. Use a course grit to get close for speed and move to a finer grit to finish. You get the same result as a guy who starts with 600 but takes forever. Simply put - 24-40 grit to grind paint/metal. 36 to sand filler, 80 to finish filler before priming, 120-150 to block sand primer or even 80 then 120. 240 to 320 finish sand or 400-600 wet sand - then paint. 1200-1500 wet sand and buff if needed. This idea eliminates frustration, increases speed and conserves sand paper. Hope that helps answer your questions my friend - have a good weekend :)

@@RobertDickens2002 It's going to bare metal? Generally there's no way to really "just remove the clear coat" Any time you start sanding on a car, you are going to sand through in spots, etc. That's why you sand, prime (primer surfacer), block, prime again, finish sand, paint.
