bondo or duraglass

A couple of guys I work with swear by a product called duraglass. I'm guessing its a fiberglass based body filler. Anyone heard or used this stuff before. I went on the website and seen another product called all metal. So which is the best way to go. bondo, duraglass, or all metal

They all have there use. And they are all polyester resin products. Some people prefer a coat of all metal if the filler is going to be a little thicker than you would normally like. Or in an area that might get a little more stress. And then they put regular filler over it because it sands so much easier. My personal feeling is that properly applied body filler (bondo) will last a lifetime.

Duraglass is great stuff...but alot of people make the mistake of abusing it. Using it to fill in huge holes....or really low spots in metal. Duraglass dries super hard..and sands REALLY hard....but it's great for a base....especially after welding in patch panels.
