METAL GLAZE is a two-part polyester finishing and blending putty. Just like dolphin it can be mixed in with other body fillers to offer flexibility and completely change the products you’re working with. The fact it’s self-leveling also helps a lot, as you’ll not have to spend time rubbing down high edges or lines. When To Use Dolphin Glaze One of the major benefits of products such as dolphin glaze is the fact that it can be applied over paint. It’s even recommended by U-Pol themselves! It’s a 2 part system where you mix the glaze with a hardener normally 100 parts glaze & 2 parts hardener.

U-Pol recommend P80 paper to sand and prep bare steel but suggests using P180 for any other surface. If you’re applying to paint all that you need to do is key the surface with 180 paper or a sanding disc. To prep the panel ready to accept glaze, all you need to do is rub it with paper between 80 – 180 grit. It’s up to you whether you want to remove the paint completely or apply the glaze over scuffed paint. Putting a final “skim coat” on top of your repair will completely change the quality of your repair. I’ve had painters thank me for this in some workplaces.Self-leveling – Depending on how good you are at applying filler, this could be a very helpful feature.

Dolphin Glaze

Dolphin Glaze is a premium finishing glaze that’s designed to eliminate pinholes and other surface imperfections prior to painting. If you’re applying it to anything else, all you need to do is key the surface with P180 paper before applying. Finally, it’s pretty common for technicians to mix glaze with body filler. Doing this will make a deep-filling Bondo thinner and much easier to apply. Once dry, rub the glaze with P180. You can go higher if you like, but there’s really no necessity to do so. Using a lot of glaze and little to no pressure on the spreader will also allow you to do deeper fills if needed.

However, if you’re using it for decent size fills and mixing it with everything, you’ll go through a lot of it. Instead of plastering body filler over minor door dings or a repair that you’ve metal finished, use glaze. If you apply it properly, it’ll have enough build to cover any low spots and will let you finish a repair with 1 skim.If you’ve got as close as possible to a metal finish, a skim of dolphin on top could be enough to finish the repair. Using and mixing glaze with plastic fillers and aluminum fillers will make them much easier to apply and rub, you should definitely try it. Again, clean the panel after with a degreaser to remove the dust, dirt and debris before filling. The last thing you want is dirt in your filler, this is what leads to defects such as pinholes. Application After application, the glaze should turn to gel within 5-8 minutes and be ready to sand within 15-20.
