filling pop bumber wear - builder's bog or auto body filler?
« on: June 30, 2009, 08:44:10 PM »
Hi there

I have a playfield on a WMS super star where the jet bumpers have worn nice ring divots around the bumpers.

This has been painted already but the surface is uneven - so to do a better job rather than leaving the uneven surface, I want to fill the divots and re-paint

I have heard that auto body filler works however was wondering if something like builders bog would also do the trick?

Can anyone point to a product they have used for such a task.

After the playfield is levelled, I am going to re-do the touch-up work and then clear coat.

I think either product - provided it's two part (main material and hardener) will work. I'm not sure which is easier to sand back, that would probably be the most important issue.

Two part epoxy wood filler will be harder wearing which will be needed in those hard wearing areas and is quite easy to sand.
Don't forget to post before/after pic's, Would like to see the end result.
