I am almost done welding in the numerous patch panels on my 50 fleetline. My question(s) are.....do i really need duraglass or similar product over my welds or could i just use a filler? Also i plan on removing the old paint after the welpatch panels are done then prepping the metal with a cleaner and conditioner should i do anything else before i spray my epoxy. I have also read on sticking with products fron the same company when it comes to painting...is this really a big deal with epoxy? I am going to do epoxy then filler then epoxy again then maybe high build primer before paint. Reason being is if i do my filler on bare metal i may not get to it fast enough before metal starts to flash rust any suggestions i would appreciate..thanks rick

Duraglas or similar products are more water resistant than regular polyester fillers. If, by chance, you miss a small spot in the weld, the Duraglas gives a little extra insurance against having to re-do something later.
I always spread a thin coat over my welds, after grinding and going over the welded seam with my vacuum blaster.
I like cars, but people suck
