Found out the hard way that most filler brands have a 2mm max build limit, not the 4mm I was using

Was reading the fine print on a fresh can of Rage Gold after a repair on a '94 F-150 started cracking in the sun, and sure enough, the spec sheet says 2mm is the safe zone - wish I'd known that before I laid it on thick on a quarter panel last spring, anyone else ever get burned by ignored manufacturer specs?

Blake_black47, you're saying old school rules, but what exactly changed in the last three months that makes you think different? I'm not trying to be difficult, I just legit want to know because I've been burned by that exact Rage Gold can trick on a bedside repair. Harper_owens, you said you'd have agreed before too - was it a specific product change, or did you just start reading the fine print on the label like I should've done?

Respectfully, that's just old school filler rules.

Three months ago I would've agreed with you but now I'm not so sure.
