Upol fantastic!!


It is "Fantastic", goes on like butter and spreads just as easy.

Easy to sand, covers well.

Its almost like a stopper and body filler combined.

Try some!!

My friend as been using some stuff he refers to as "dolphin glaze". you brush it on and its really good and easy to sand and shape.

With this stuff MOT failures are a thing of the past!!!

Never heard of Dolphin Glaze?

EDIT

Just googled Dolphin glaze and its a stopper for final finishing.

The guy where I got this from reckons with the Fantastic you don't even need to stopper afterwards.

dolphin glaze is super runny filler, best used for that final skim to get a perfect super smooth finish and fill all the pin-holes.

Fantastic looks like good stuff - gonna give it a go.

The fantastic is really easy to shape, I've spent hours on Spudniks rear 1/4 trying to get it right, with this stuff it was a piece of pee!!

It goes where you want it to and on a large panel can be shaped easily with a steel rule to get your shape.

you can make your own version of dolphin glaze if you want, just mix 50% regular filler with 50% resin, mix together vigorously and presto - dolphin glaze like alternative for 1/2 the price.

slightly off topic but U-pol run product training days at the factory. you get to use the fillers , glues, bonding sealant etc. u-pol also do a good spray filler that you get to use and try in their oven/booth. its a good opotunity to get to ask the chemists/designers its limitations/uses etc.

its also an eye-opening day walking round the factory watching it being mixed and badged under lots of well known names.

might be worth an email or phone call asking them about these days. mine was organised through movac group plc. but there was blokes on the course from loads of different places.

No, i actually quite like the sound of that aswell.
But then i do love seeing how things are made, hence why i never have any working pens, i break them all trying to see how they are put together.

I used to do their exhibition stands, and saw the factory days taking place when I visited, always thought it would be a good practical day out - put me down if we decide to do one

[Shifty]

Wheres the u-pol factory then?

[yorkshirechris]

I got some U Pol seam sealer for Dominic's boot, and I thought it was really good stuff

Saying that I've never used seam sealer before in my life

And I begrudged paying £14.99 for a litre tin when I only used two scoops
