Morris Minor Owners Club

Spot Putty whats that

Spot putty is sometimes called stop putty also. It's only used for filling very small blemishes. Unlike normal filler/putty which adheres to metal, stop/spot putty adheres best to paint. After a repair with filler & it's painted in primer, it's then that you use stop/spot putty.
Filler has a hardener added to it when mixing, spot putty is used straight from the tin.

Kevin, over here we tend to call it stopper. Like a brown putty.

Right thats cleared that up then thanks guys.

Jeez guys, if you knew what it was, why didn't someone stop me waffling on about it.
I wish you lot would get your terminology sorted out to fit in with us normal people!!!

hate to say this..... but us brits use proper terminollogy!!!! ITs everyone else thats the problem!!

Right, so driving a Morris Minor Down Under makes you normal what does that make the rest.

Kevin,
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me (both of my parents are from England - but that's not my fault)

Come on lads... surely no (ok, very few) Minor Owners conform to the "norm" do they?

Scott, waffle is good... I am the confirmed King of Waffle! 'specially when I don't know what I'm talking about...

Gareth, you are waffling again..............

(ok, very few) Minor Owners conform to the "norm"

Aw come on Gareth what does Norman No Friends have to do with it, we are all part of a large group of friends on here I hope

Spot putty, blade putty, stop putty, brown putty, stopper, blemish corrector, 'stuff that sticks to paint', take your pick - generally its a last minute 'oops-I-missed-a-bit' fixer.

By the way, have you noticed that each discussion here is made up of one or two topic informers, a handful of translators, at least one topic diverter, a few jokers, and a laugher or two. Funny thing is, no one sticks to their position.

- yes we have an ever growing tendency to follow that formula.

Don't forget the idiotic commenter, you know when all the useful advice is flowing there is usually some berk who comes out with a daft (and utterly wrong) suggestion that throws the advice sideways!!

I do try to stick to 'topic diverter' if I can, but like you suggest, we don't stick to our positions completely.................

Don't forget the idiotic commenter

Oh yes Cam those too - Just as well there are a few wise old correctors about too!

To stop it rusting you could get rid of it all together..... your feet might get wet when it rains though!!!

Ah yes - right on cue....

As usual.................
