I finally took an old timer's advice about filler work
A guy I met at a swap meet in Oakland told me my body filler was gonna fail because I was mixing it too wet. I had been adding extra hardener to make it spread easier, but he said that traps solvents and causes pinholes. Switched to a stiffer mix last month and the finish came out way cleaner - has anyone else had to unlearn a bad habit like that?

That thing about adding extra hardener to make it spread easier is exactly what I used to do too. I figured more hardener meant it would kick faster and I could get more coats on in a day. How long did it take before you started seeing those pinholes show up, was it right away or did they appear after sanding?

Honestly, did you notice them more after you sanded the first coat back or did they just show up out of nowhere once it cured? I'm trying to figure out if it's a mixing thing or something with how the topcoat bonds.
