Thank you,

I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't get 15 extra minutes anyways. Proper way to do it is if you are using Rage Ultra for example, is to buy a foil bag or gallon of Rage Ultra Extra and mix in a ratio of 10%-30% of it with the Rage Ultra. It will extend your working time quite a bit, in hot weather probably up to 10 to 15 minutes depending on how much you use..

Ok, thank you Chris. I've been using 3M Platinum 01171. I like the filler, it's very smooth, spreads easy, almost no pin holes, and sands great. My only complaint is the lack of working time. I will try the Rage Ultra / Rage Ultra Extra as suggested. Thanks again.

total waste of time. metal temp is still high along with ambient temp . putting any chemical in the fridge is bad . your likely mixing too hot to begin with . pay more attention to your mix and keep a 9 in mud knife handy for final swipe . those little bondo blades just create tons of ridges to deal with .

Im no expert, but that doesnt look like an optimal installation location... it kinda blocks your lift.

another option is the evercoat quantum filler. they have low, mid and high temp catalyst for it. the high temp gives you quite a bit of working time even on hot days. expensive but sands like butter.
