All the air dried stoppers and fillers will shrink, so you need a few coats. It's annoying that they usually come in enormous tubes or tins such as in Jeremy's photo. Holts knifing putty comes in a much smaller tube but isn't very good - too stiff and poor adhesion. I still use it though, just in thin layers. Crucial of course to clean out pits and chips and get any suggestion of polish out. For a...

Ha ha - I've just rushed out to the garage to look at my engine number, and halfway there remembered that Derrington put in a Morris Minor engine in 1980.

Thank you for these suggestions.
I expect I'm exaggerating when I say 1cc. It's for a number of areas where we've knocked paint off during our recent ten days away. We jumped in and out a lot, and obviously managed to knock the doors out of fit. So the flange of the A-post got scraped by the door shutting, and the other door went the opposite way - abrasive contact between the rear end of the...

AI had a shot a disc bolt torque too.

You still trust it?

Not in my book for the last 50 years.

All it does is trawl for the most commonly held opinions. It shows how commonly people are wrong, and how crap AI still is.

And if it really ever does gain control, FUBAR won't even begin to describe it. 🤣

In my experience:
One part knifing filler/ stopper is ok for small blemishes when flatting primer but 1cc is fairly substantial (a dint?) and is probably best filled with 2 part filler. Depends on depth. A pain if that's all you need but it lasts a while (for the next dint....). I'm interested in other opinions though.

You can get 'stopper' in 2 part and cellulose which is intended for filling very minor defects. I've always found it sands easier than filler.

Saw my first whale going past today, very early ,it's usually around half way through September before we see any. bit of a sign that the ocean to the North of here is warmer than usual and they're off to the cool of Antarctica
