Hi Frank and everybody:

It`s been awhile since last time sharing here in Artmetal...
regarding your body work, I`m no expert but use body work tecniques on some sculptures.Basicaly,you want to grind and brush as much as you can the correded area, cutting pieces that are just done. Tack a piece of sheet metal that best fits in size and shape and then use a body filler polyester resin that you mix with a hardener. try out the amount so it doesn`t dry too fast... fill, grind,...fill,grind....and protect yourself from those nasty fumes and dust ! Afterwards apply an untirust. If exterior, visible area, you`ll have to water sand, apply another finer filler for refinishing on an on. Hate that ....
