i use thin aluminum 1/8 thick and works just as well and you can wash them off with thinner and cut them to the size you need then start your own collection i just cant see paying 150 bucks for this and need to replace the tip from time to time
Pays for itself on the first 3hour body panel repair job. Lasts a lifetime. Indestructable!
Not a gimmick but a game changer in the auto body collision repair and restoration industry. The body techs love the Blade and the do-it-yourselfers also love the Blade.
Have NOT had any problems with "underfiled" low spots. It does just the opposite. The unique quality of the teflon coating rearranges the bondo perfectly, allowing the bondo to feather right into the paint for a seamless perfect repair. No high or low spots.......just right!
good luck making your own. the high carbon spring steel/teflon combo is the perfect combo for the ultimate repair. Just try to get the same results without these two components.
The problem with this is that the filler is level with the panel so you will be undercutting when you start sanding !!
Easier just to over fill and Dura block lol
why not use those spreaders they use for applying drywall spakling?
How is it more than a straight edge? i like it, but how is it more than a straight edge
a ruler will contour also might not last as long but it will do the same thing
Its a great tool and has saved me so much time when needed. Easy clean up with the Teflon coating no need for thinner. The varying flexibility is great for curved roof jobs. Its a must for a serious production technician.
Thanks, David. It always makes us happy when folks see first hand how great it is to use The Blade for your auto body repairs.
what kind of bundle you use
So, I couldn't read the website address. How would I go about getting one of these marvels of modern autobody science?
the Blade contours to any curved panel. or you can use the removable stiffening rod to get a non-flexible Blade for straight panels......I think you get it sir, congratulations....you are smart.
Why do I have to do the calculations? Couldn't you have done the calculations? : D
cheers, will give it a go, the problem is I keep flattening out the edge line when I sand it.
Doesn't bondo shrink when it dries? If so, wouldn't you have just "underfilled" the low spots?
The outer edges of the rod will follow the curvature of the panel he was working on thus uniformly shaping the body filler compound, And to those who still don't quite comprehend, It aints gunna bees flat!
Who knew I'd be getting auto body repair tips from Ray Romano today? Life is a box of chocolates after all...
but now what to do with that bondo you had left over? use it on another dent you have ready?
CURVED not flat The whole idea of the Blade is that it IS flexible, thus curves to any radiused panel.
I have a question, what kind of epoxy do you use to apply vynal to bondo?
yeah, but will it blend?
still has to be sanded before priming so now we have a low spot also a flat spot centre of body filler should be high point compared to sides, low and flat ,metal has curves two ways
So how the hell do you sand filler then ? Might be a good idea for Glaze but filler nah !!
doesn't look like area was grinded enough for filler to stick
The Blades can be used as drywall spreaders as well in the composite industry. Perfect for repair on planes, trains and automobiles. And firetrucks (the firetruck repair will be on a video on our website very soon.)
Subscribed just because of that. I have one dent just like it was wondering what to do with it.
hey dude. . we use as a blade ..like fiber plastic that's what we could KALIS in our own dialect . I'm from phillipines..NYC love 8. 8 save tym..thank you
i absolutely despise filling and sanding i cant get the lines to blend in
It doesn't "look" that flexable to me!
I know of the old hack saw blade trick. it's been used by crash shops for years. but a blade that thick/strong surely won't flex every much!
Spread filler up [not down] that way it wont run into your fingers and will stay on the edge of the spreader.
Good videos learned a lot. That I didn't know before. Tricks of a pro
Do not apply bondo over sanded paint.
What 3M Said
I have heard both opinions of this for years, but no concrete data. About one year ago I visited the 3M headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. While in their lab I asked this exact question. They said that body filler should not be applied over sanded paint. They said that this can cause repair mapping. It was explained to me that many technicians mistake this for sand scratch swelling or primer shrinking. When in fact, the chemicals in the filler can react with the layers of paint coatings causing them to swell or look a look like a shrinking problem.
Thank you for your thoughtful, well written comment. It is coincidental that we were discussing this very issue the same day that your comment was posted. First we need to clarify exactly what you are referring to when you say “bondo”. Bondo is a specific product that has become a generic term for any polyester based body filler. In my experience in talking with a large number of auto body techs as well as my own experience with auto body repairs and restorations I have discovered that mixing a glazing putty with the filler, in varying ratios, (I can thicken up the glazing putty or thin down the filler depending on the repair), yields the best results and performance overall. In fact, 3M’s Platinum™ Plus Glaze states on the label, “a super premium, pourable polyester finishing glaze that provides excellent results on galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc-coated metals, SMC, and cured primer and paint. This stain free, tack free formula has superior spreadability and is super-easy to sand. Use for handling cracks, drags, hail-damage, pinholes, and full panel contouring.” Another product that is designed to mix the two products together (filler and glazing putty) is the Metal Works™system made by Evercoat. Evercoat states that this is an inter-mixable system that works together extremely well. In my many years of experience of repairs and restorations I have not had any problems with paint failure or “mapping” with mixing these two products, the filler and a glazing putty. I encourage anyone to do some research and use what you are comfortable with. I also encourage any questions regarding this issue. Ultimately find what works best for you and build your reputation on that.
+Adam Maxwell they say that for liability issues... bondo or any plastic filler sticks to anything if it has been properly abraded....
There are many types of "paint" what if your applying over a 3 parts epoxy primer? that stuff is nothing like "paint" when it cures
Wow where did you get that bird from
It’s a blade not a bird
BETTER THAN OTHER S IVE SEEN
ah yes, but the spring steel and the teflon coating makes ALL the difference. No bondo sticking....no overfilling....
what calculations?
thats a great way to improvise on dura blocks lol. just do this!
@tokejyn The #3 Blade is designed exactly for curved panels.....very flexible.....very effective!!
oh.....but it is not JUST a straight edge.....so much more effective than just a straight edge!!
you miss the whole point. NO over fill means ,minimal sanding.
Please do i get the blade?
use a ruler
actually not at all....a couple swipes of the blade....get the perfect repair....perfect contour. no brainer, dude. most people can see this immediately.
only downfall of this tool is complex curves. quarterpannels, most motorcycle fenders, etc, i'm guessing wouldn't work with this.
Who would want a flat area in the middle of a curved panel??
drywallers tools,wallpaper hangers tools...just a straight edge ,,who wipes mud over unpreped paint?
nice old school style
Wow that’s awesome
no undercutting, DUDE
wow thank you! big help.
LOL " that excess filler Would take you atleast one hour to remove" Maybe if you are sticking a p400 grit stick-it to a snail that is going back and forth over the area
Its ok until you sand lol !! will be under cut and need refilling !! crap idea
@ynotrocket Maybe to use it as a base
thanks for the tip very helpful
thanks Kermit
hey that's pretty sweet.
Awesome!
heyy.. Kermit the frog ...
touch*
This stupid cheap body filler doesn't even tough 3M quality and giving me random spots it's annoying.
Way too much money. I bet you won't find that tool in a professional body shop. Gimmick comes to mind.
Ridiculous...Whatsvso hard bout what your really doing....Try Shaping or Molding a Whole rear Quarter of an 1997 F150 pal....pleaee give me a break will ya!!
see above....
WHAT??
It's Kermit
@susiequeasy lol, well said.
haha the tool is simply a ruler..
burn haha.... nice
