Ripples? Dunno about ripples, it was more like the surface of the moon
on a really bad day. Ripples I'd have been happy with.


Sounds like it was full of air bubbles. But you'd normally use another
filler on top of the body filler once it's shaped properly to give a
perfect surface. If it's not too bad several coats of primer/filler can do
the same thing.
