In my "Basics of Basics" on plastic filler I mention the polyester putty as a skim coat and "Blending" it with regular filler to create a more spreadable filler. This is right out of the Evercoat catalog.
"MetalWorks is an intermixable system that works as a team. Together they give you a complete range of diversity. No single filler works well under all conditions. MetalWorks products can be used independently or custom blended together to adapt to various temperatures, viscosities and substrates. This enables the technician to create a more user friendly product, eliminating problems, such as, pinholes and dragging caused by thick filler. Intermixing also premits the user to enhance the filers ease of sanding. As a result, there is less hear and pressure generated from sanded, reducing the chance of metal warping on thin guage steel. To intermix, simply blend Metal Glaze or Glaze Coat with any MetalWorks body fillers. Start by pending 1 part putty and 4 parts body filler. If you want it thinner, add more putty, if you want it thicker, add more filler. Custom blend to your desired smoothness."
The "MetalWorks body fillers" mentioned to blend with the "Metal Glaze" or "Glaze Coat" (same exact stuff, just different color) can be "RAGE", "Z-GRIP", "RAGE gold", "Metal to Metal". Those are the "MetalWorks" products Evercoat recommends to me blended. Those are their high end products you will notice. I can't emagine if you were to mix any polyester putty with any "regular" filler that you would have any ill effects. I'll leave that to you. I personally stick with what the tech sheet recommends. I use only Evercoat products in the way they discribe and have never had a problem. I just like it that way, no problems.
