body shop hack,bondo spreader

Sorry filler spreader. How many of you use a spreader and it wipes funny and makes you throw it away. I have found if you wipe the spreader with either lac thinner or spray some naked gun [spray gun cleaner] on it and wipe it down with a blue paper towel. Once it is dry wipe it on a good piece of cardboard. I used to go through several spreaders a week now I can't remember how long it has been since I had to change it, It has been months maybe last year! try it it is simple and saves you pennies. Jim

I wipe mine down with wax and degreaser...works very well...

Yep, been there and done that with 8" and 10" taping knives. Far truer with steel than flimsy plastic. ... and I thought I was alone.

I have a full set of those steel ones bought maybe early 90's I didn't like 'em but maybe I need to give them another chance. Jim
