Which is available in two formulations the 3M Body Filler can be used on many types of substrate including aluminium and galvanised metals, making it a convenient and effective filler that cuts down on both repair time and stockholding for body shops. The General Purpose Body Filler has been formulated to allow easy sanding and shaping, while the Heavy General Purpose Body Filler is ideal for deeper panel damage.
Richard Burn of the Automotive Aftermarket Division of 3M explained: “The new Body Filler range from 3M features a high-quality resin system designed to be used on multiple surfaces, and trials have shown that the products require minimal skimming and reworking due to bleaching or bubbling, which can increase productivity in the body shop.
