Started doing some filler work on the van and coming to the end of my P45 easy sand so any recommendations? After something that is easy to work before it starts to harden, the P45 stuff goes of really quickly so is hard to get level before it starts to dry? so any favourites, and where from?

I seem to remember a garage somewhere near Area 52 that does a lot of bodywork uses this stuff. I haven't got the knack with filler, so my attempts are awful regardless of brand   |

I used some stuff called Metalik, it's my first experience of using filler and I found it very easy to use, easy to sand and has come up looking very nice so far.
I've used less hardner than recommended, as it means it will take longer to harded, however as long as its got some harnder in, it will always set the same, just slower.

Cool, the hardener content is something I think about but the whole golf ball pea ratio is all a bit hit and miss really  So U-pol and Metalik? Any more? |

Upol Easy 1 is pretty good, but i had a tin of Upol fantastic before it and found it much easier to work with and sand.

Evercoat Rage Gold. The best filler I have ever used by a large margin. Expensive and a little hard to find but worth it.

We use Z-grip at my work. Goes on easy enough, and is also easy to sand aswell.
