I recently bought some tiger hair to patch the quarter on my 86 iroc.. This stuff looked like a great idea and was easy to use... Yea, its really hard to use, I had problems with it trying to continuously drip off my quarter panel... It did not want to stick to the car very well. If anyone has some tips for using it please post!

 

Surface has to be clean. Use 80 grit to scuff up where you want it to stick. Tiger hair doesn't run or drip. Not sure what your doing with it.

 

I figured out what the problem was.... Its 43 degrees in my garage. Which is warm to me conisdering we have had a 0 degree winter. I got a heatlamp on the panel, keeping it at 100 degrees now. Working great! I did just put a second coat of it on to finish where the original dripped.

I have also been using bondo hair hardner cream instead of the blue Tiger hair hardner because I dont have any. Apparently they are the same thing.. Its curing good now with heat... Like within 8-10 minutes its pretty hard

 

I just recently did my first bodywork job, which was patching a bumper that had a hole in it from a collision. I used the tiger hair. I learned very quickly what it was all about. I didn't even use a fiberglass cloth to back it (the hole had a 3inch diameter), and it's still holding together. I will admit though, there are still a few divets that appear to require regular body filler, but I was told that it was fine the way it was, and not to worry about it lol.

 

its good stuff, tigerhair. I still like the evercoat kitty hair better. Did you get long strand or short strand?
