Evercoat Fiber Tech 100633

I have some Evercoat Fiber Tech 100633 to dress some welds before I use filler or 2K Primer. Should I apply SPI Epoxy before I apply this product?
 
Pretty much the answer I expected from SPI Forum. But I just wanted to confirm the Fiber Tech was not considered differrent than a regular filler.
 
its a little more durable, kinda like duraglass? Thats what it looked like to me, anyway. I havent used it, but honestly, I epoxy everything, unless I lead it first.
 
marty , i need a measurement off your truck. the support rods from firewall to core support. need total length .
and i epoxy first period .

37.5" from the center of the bolt on the brace on the firewall to the point between the two nuts on the rod that attach to the corresponding bracket. overall length tip to tail is 39". If you need further dimensions, let me know.
 
Any other thoughts on this? What about a 40-80 grit cross hatch over the welds before the epoxy? Then Fiber tech and follow up with a regular body filler, high build primer and seal with epoxy.
 
Opinions will always vary, but fiberglass based fillers will seal out moisture from raw metal. Regular body fillers will not, as high build fillers aren't good either for an area where will be some bare metal..

​Haven't decided how I'll be doing my bonding factory trim to body areas with the fibertech on top, but I'll either use it on bare metal, sand& epoxy, then use regular filler or just epoxy first & rough epoxy with approx. 100 to 120 grit..

Here's the thing on sanding grit requirements:::bare metal requires a much rougher grit than a coating & the instructions are for bare metal. Instructions read as remove paint with 40 to 80 grit, it probably wouldn't stick to paint. Epoxy is not paint.

When a manufacturer gives instructions, it will not include all variables or possibly better options. Most modern evercoat poly based fillers all are said to meet the whatever factory spec for corrosion protection, but You won't find a restoration quality person person using it on bare metal.

thanks marty , i went and found a truck yesterday. the rods i have are 41 in long. no idea where they came from. they were in the bed of my truck . retaped them and straightened them out. weeks worth of headaches for nothing .
 
Basically, its like Barry saying he wants his epoxy on bare metal because he knows the properties of his product and wants absolutely nothing between the epoxy and the bare metal so he knows it sticks. I am sure if Evercoat had their own Epoxy they would spec it out, but too many parameters of epoxy out there they cant go in to trusting one over the other. You dont mix it right and their filler pops off, just like if you did not mix their filler right.
