Light Color Polyester Putty

[Roy B.]

Does anybody know a source for light colored 2-part polyester putty? The ones up here all have a bright colored hardener which helps on the mixing but shows through after a thin coat of white paint. I'd like something in a light grey or white color (after mixing) and preferably in a small quantity.
Thanks
ROY

I use Evercoat polyester glazing putty and white cream hardener available from TCP Global and likely Eastwood.
Ends up more easily covered light grey.

There is one of the best supply facilities in the country located in Ft. Pierce , Florida. Fiberglass Supply Depot, is the go to people for the boat builders located here on the Treasure Coast. They carry many different supplies for fiberglass and gel repair. They offer an online catalog, and ship all over the world. They have been my go to people for refinishing supplies.

Roy - try 'UPOL Dolphin One Fill UPO660'. It is a white 'All in One Premium Body Filler' (TiO2 pigmented) which comes with a white hardener paste - doesn't get more white than that. It says it won't clog sand paper and is resistant against pin-holes.

If its Polyester, the red or blue harder carries a dye so you can tell how well you have mixed the stuff.
Gelcoat is polyester as well, and uses Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) as a catylyst.
Its a clear liquid. Keep it out of your eyes!
That will also work in your Filler. Too much and goes off too fast. Experiment.

Cheers
Mark
