Default Filler for fiberglass cowl???

Does anyone know what is the best filler to use for my fiberglass cowl? I have some tiny air bubbles that need to be filled before I prime and was wondering what the best filler is. Thanks, Ricky

Perdo-Where can you buy "glaze" auto parts store or do I need to go to a auto paint supplier? Thanks, Ricky

Citationx,

ask for Evercoat body surfacer/glaze. It's a very good universal product and should handle most of your filling needs. Any auto paint supplier should have it. Also, most places are now carrying a "brushable" body glaze. It handles like the old K&B primer. It will also do your job, however, it's not as versatile as Evercoat.
Either product should replace Bondo except in the really heavy duty applications such as building fillets. A vry thin coat of primer is all you'll need to be ready to shoot color coat. Good luck with your project!
