All,
How long can polyester body filler remain unpainted?
I have read that body filler is hygroscopic. If left unpainted it will absorb water in turn causing the metal underneath to rust.
Is this true?
If true, how long can filler remain unpainted? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? ...?
(I am planning out my resto, and trying to figure if I need to prime each panel asap. ...the next question is how long uncovered epoxy primer will keep...)
Many thanks,
Mike
