They are more likely not to consider or even know about the absorption of moisture into the filler and more likely to leave covering the filler with a coat of paint for a while after application. Provided the base the filler is applied to is sound and keyed there should be no problem. Out of the two options for applying filler this is the best for the amateur that does not know all the in's and out's of body prep (which is the target audience). Thanks for the post Redmoggy it will help others.
So you believe the DIY restorer should not understand body filler is porous?
Guess being ignorant of it's properties is why so many DIY repairs over rust blow out again in a matter of weeks
