     :thumbsup: Hey Dave,
    You should nearly have no problems with pineholes by using Rage.  I use that stuff down here in Australia aswell.    Looking good buddy. :woohoo:

    Hi Ken
    I have used Rage Xtream for several years and really like it, it almost eliminates pinholes altogether, Rage Gold on the other hand is terrible for pin holes and gas pockets.

    Can't imagine any problems , fillers usually don't harm other fillers.

    Thanks for the pictures and tips!!!!  :thumbsup:  I think I do over sand.  You apply your filler right over the epoxy primer right?

    I've been using Rage Gold and getting lots of pinholes.  I figured it was my mixing/applying technique (or lack thereof).  I'll try Rage Extreme next time.

    Yep right over the epoxy. If after 72 hours you may need to 150 the epoxy for the filler to stick. I have found that 80 grit paper works best on the Xtream for first cut.
    If you use a courser grit it tends to rip the filler from the panel if you get on it before it is completely hard.
    Another tip it is try 3M  Hook-it paper, it is Velcro backed paper. It cuts well and can be removed and reused.

    After a hectic week-end there is some progress to show :2thumbs:.
    I had planned on just painting the floor pans and trunk but couldn't help myself and did the engine compartment too. :biggrin:
