What do you guys use for filler? The following pic shows some spots that needed filling on a hood:  The three little dark round spots were ejector pin marks on the underside of the hood/bonnet. I put a little baking soda in the holes, and a drop of CA, and stirred it around a couple seconds. It set up immediately!! Hard as a rock! This shows the spots after I sanded them down. Hope this helps, if ya need a plug for a gap, or hole! |

I use automotive "spot putty" Lacquer based. If I'm in a hurry I'll use an automotive finishing plastic same thing as regular body filler but a lot finer grained.

I use a number of products. Elmer's Perfect Plastic Putty is one. Vallejo's acrylic putty for another; but those tend to be used for smaller seams. Larger issues and ejector pin marks are filled with Mr. Surfacer 500. Those three are my go-to fillers. I'll use CA glue for some of the really big gaps and such when a lot is needed.

Most times, when a small pinhole, or a narrow, short gap needs attention, I just use straight CA glue.

Im gonna chime in here and say I have been using Perfect Plastic Putty by Deluxe for awhile now and it is great. Now I wouldnt use it for lets say major bodywork, I dont do major bodywork so im all set with that. But for doing the normal stuff this is the bomb, at least for me.  Heres a few videos on it as well |

My usual putty is Squadron Green Putty for the usual small blemishes. I've used the Apoxie Sculpt too where strength is required, and of course that stuff is great for making tarps and bedrolls for armor projects. For some larger ejector pin marks, I use my circle punch & die sets to punch a disc of about the right size and glue it down, then skim with putty and sand smooth. For that kind of larger mark this avoids having the putty shrink and pit, possibly requiring another application-and-sand cycle.
