Re: bondo

i dont know what your damage is that u need to repair but just remember, bondo not for anythign structural at all and will crack very easy. Use fiberglass or some epoxy to do the repair and then put on some bondo as thin as possible to get everything smooth.

Re: bondo

for all my repairs to ground effects or any small dents that cant be pulled i just use fiberglass filler and take extra time to get it smooth. This way it dries hard as a rock. My dad rebuilt a cab corner on my old truck with fiberglass filler and it was just as hard as the sheet metal that was once there. Also you couldn't tell by looking at it either. -Matt

Re: bondo

Definetely don't use putty to fix cracks. Use a fast setting epoxy on the back side. Set some fiberglass matting down (or drywall seam tape, it works the same), then put a layer of epoxy down. Slightly "v-out" the front side w/ a die grinder and put a thin layer of epoxy down. If that is not enough to fill the crack in the front, put down a skim coat of a polyester finishing putty such as Icing.
