Mixing & Application Instructions
- Preparation: Clean and degrease the repair area thoroughly. Remove paint and featheredge using 40–80 grit sandpaper. Ensure the surface is completely dry before applying filler.
- Mixing: Mix Tiger Hair thoroughly before use. Knead the cream hardener. Add hardener at 2% by weight (a ribbon across a 4" diameter puddle of body filler). Larger puddles require additional hardener. Mix until a uniform color is achieved.
- Application: Apply in layers using firm pressure to force material into the repair area. Do not apply all at once. Build gradually for best strength and stability.
- Finish: Sand with 80‑grit sandpaper. Apply a finish coat of Evercoat lightweight body filler or polyester glazing putty for final shaping.

SMSDistributors Expert Notes
Evercoat Tiger Hair is one of the strongest reinforced fillers available and a go‑to choice for technicians handling severe heavy-duty damage, rusted panels, shattered fiberglass, or structural composite repairs. Its long‑strand fiberglass reinforcement provides exceptional strength, making it ideal for high‑stress areas such as mounting points, impact zones, and large gap‑filling applications.
Because Tiger Hair is waterproof and rustproof, it excels in marine repairs, lower body panels, and areas exposed to moisture. When used correctly, it creates a durable, stable repair foundation that resists cracking and repair mapping. For best results, apply in layers, sand with 80‑grit, and finish with an Evercoat lightweight filler or glazing putty.
