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 don't really need to use a really heavy grit before you apply the filler. But I would take that stuff off and remix it with more hardener. Too much hardener won't ruin the stuff, you'll just have less time to work with it. It should be sandable after 10min. And make sure you mix it well and consistent.
