@theDavidLeach –
I’ve never worked with Bondo before in my life. I decided to fix a fender on my Porsche that had some minor damage. I got quoted a minimum of $1750 to fix a simple ding on a fender. One Autobody shop quoted $3800. Because it is a modified Porsche I must get “noob” prices.I watched a couple Youtube videos, which took about a whole 25 minutes, then spent another 2-3 hours mining away in “Bondo” talk on Reddit..after a quick afternoon …I learned the “difficult” job and fixed the damage perfectly. Bondo is amazingly strong and is very easy to work with.The mixing ratio seemed vague so I went with 8 drops per 3-4 grams, on wax paper on top of a scale. Since I was in the garage with the door closed and it was late, I figured I could do this in my underwear since the garage was hot (it’s summer). Working with Bondo produces a strong smell, so I decided to wear a filter/rebreather mask as well. My wife walks in to check on me as I am in my underwear, with a gas mask, using a scale to measure some drops on some gooey glop on wax paper at 2am. She said, “What are you…Walter White?”.Mixed Bondo on wax paper, use “folding” action to mix it.Used these Spreaders, mostly the large one Spread it around to make it flat as possible, very akin to spreading icing on a cake. The bondo gets hard and tacky fairly quickly, within 1-2 minutes, so don’t dawdle.Let it dry. Don’t rush it. I let it dry 24 hours.I chose to wet sand it, even though nowhere recommended it…or said not to. I chose to do this to keep the dust down. It worked perfectly. I used 400, then 600 grit and hand sanded it. I went up to 1200 grit and thought it was smooth enough. This took me 3.5 hours because I am meticulous.At this point I was done. You may choose to paint your own car at this point. I am not that brave with my Porsche.Dropped it off at an Autobody shop and they charged a very fair price to paint the fender.10/10 would do it again.

Great product but I do not like the clear liquid activator as you can not tell how well you have mixed it in.

Bondo says it’s all. It’s like when people say you have a runny nose? Grab a Kleenex. Same thing for Bondo. When you need to do bodywork, use some Bondo. Hardness was perfect for my aluminum body trailer.

This filler is fantastic. One of the better ones I have used in recent years. Absolutely an upgrade to the old pink Bondo. The only thing I can complain about, is the price. It’s a bit crazy for how little you actually get. I think more money could be made by lowering the price. As they would absolutely sell way more.

Used this bondo to fix rust over a rear wheel on a 2001 CRV — work great — sold the car.

It is everything that says and more on steel fills the holes. Drill them. Anything you want the thing is great. It dries quick. Can’t beat it for the buck
