The result is a that finishing putty or "glaze" is finer, smoother and more dense than filler but also softer to sand allowing finer sand paper which in turn reduces the chance of sand scratches. The reduction of sand scratches in the glaze, allows for less high build primer needed... and so on and so on...

Bottom line is metal is best for HB primer, second is glaze, then filler/glaze. Like most other things in life, filler and glaze included, moderation is key.
cool thanks! So the Rage lightweight will be ok? The truck will be black so any waves will be highly visible
