Default Light Color Polyester Putty

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

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 - 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.
