bodywork question

[FRpilot]

ok guys. so i pulled out the dent as much as i could on my s13 and im going to fill the rest with a little bit of body filler.

so how do you guys sand/make that small 'line' that runs across from the fender, door, and to the rear qtr panels on the s13 and the bigger line where the black stripe sticker is on once you put body filler over it? any special tools or advice on how to make it?

Use a potato peeler, why cuz at the tip of it there is a piece of metal that sticks out and it is kinda like a scoop in a way.

^ beat me to it :(

take your time doing it though, and use long sweeps when sanding for a really good finish

sounds like if i use a potatoe peeler then i'd have to take off the bondo before it hardens which would be tough since it hardens fast..

anyone have an idea about that big line where the sticker is?

if its hardening so fast you cant get to sanding/removing it before it sets up then you arent mixing it right.......
a good rule of thumb for mixing is a 1" ribbon of hardener to every golf ball size amt of filler.

to get in those cracks and lines, you could wrap the sandpaper around a paint mixing stick and use that, or like said above, use a file/peeler and get to it b4 it hardens
