In no time I discovered the secret was drying time, and I was able to repair a few hundred chips (on a black 95 Vette) to where I could not see the repairs, and I knew where they were too!

Fixed some buffer burns on my red Z as well. Nobody could pick out the damaged and repaired edges now.

(no hijack intended) I'd sure like to hear more about this. Maybe a "How to..." or what is now called "Technet" on the new webpage? Or a link another thread or somewhere?
