Quick question: I've been fixing some dents on my hood with body filler... I put my first layer of filler on. Then I sanded it with 220 grit with a DA, but I forgot to use something rougher before putting on another layer of filler. Now it's been two days and the filler I put on is still kinda soft. What should I do? Do I have to scrape it off because it didn't grip the first filler layer? Or will it harden eventually?
thanks, ryan --------------------  |

You may just need to wait a while before it gets fully hard. When I was fixing a dent in my '88 Celica, I didn't use enough hardener and it was soft after a couple days. A week later though, it was rock hard, just like the rest of the properly-mixed body filler areas of the car.
