About the thickest it gets on this piece is 1/4" I've done 1/2" on my dash just fine though. But yeah I'm getting some bondo glass if I need to do some thick bondoing next time! I bet its faster to sand, too!

I think i mixed them pretty good, but you're right, maybe not good enough. But the spots...I could see them before I even put the adhesion promoter on. They were kind of shiny, but they were still hard, so that is kind of odd.

Ehh, I used that primer last time from duplicolor. It was called "Sandable filler primer," and it came out an orangish red. It was really nice and easy to sand and all. But it was laquer based. And that screwed everything up badly! So any alternatives? Or was I just doing something wrong? Because when I was using that primer I hadn't tried any adhesion promoter underneath it.
Thanks for all the great info guys!
