Enjoy it then, but don't laugh at my van when you see it! Can't wait to see the 'facelift' on the van. You both deserve it! :ok

So you use Roberlo for filler - is that a new thing or your regular?

I have a tub of that in the shop as well, recommended by my paint supplier but haven't had a chance to use it much - not being as prolific (or quick) as some :roll:

The Roberlo is ok ,depends on what you use it for,its also about personal preference,as well as cost if you use loads of it, 3lt tin will do at least 3 vans cos i always seem to mix too much and then look for some place to put it :shock: gaps in door frames in the workshop is usual place..
when you first get a tin and open it you will find its very sortt of runny but after a the surfave is used and air has got to the stuff it sort of stiffens up ,i cant speak for its slump quality as i dont do much depth. i,it hardens quite well and is average to rub down , not as dense as say p38 ,. I also like bodyline , but again its a personal thing and they are each suitable for use .
the multextender i like as it will feather out very well but i use that more for final detail as say over the lead on the screen pillar etc,
oh and price , err i think the big tins of robbo as i call it work out at about £18 inc
