ive got a new bright jeep body and i have cut some rear spare tire mounts off. it has now left some small holes in the body and im wondering what sandable filler or bog i can use to fill the holes.

They make a red as well but the green seems to be easier to sand IMO. Depending on the holes you want to fill (maybe a seam) you can make a styrene putty body filler as well with some small chunks of styrene and some Tenax "glue"

The Tenax solvent didnt work for me.I had to fill in a sun roof on a Nikko hard body with a piece of styrene.It wouldnt bond so i just went with CA then used red Bondo glazing putty.It worked like a charm

X2 on the bondo glazing putty, I've never had an issue with sanding or it cracking later on down the road. It's also readily available at Walmart, auto parts stores etc.

I use ABS pipe cement since the NB bodies are made from ABS for more of the structural areas. It fuses to to body and is sandable once cured, making a very solid filler. For what your after, you could use the ABS cement or good hobby filler like Squadron or the Bondo automotive spot putty. I the the Bondo my self.

Here's a NB JK roof I cut and sectioned for my Brute build using ABS cement

will tamiya putty work?

I've used the bondo brand, it works well for me on small areas, on larger areas I often have problems with shrinkage.
I prefer 3M Green acrylic spot putty. Works great, it can also be thinned with alcohol to make a great pit filler .
