I've used JB WELD - QUIKWELD to repair parts of my rotted wood mailbox. The patch has held up to harsh outdoor elements here in the southeast coast for many years. The product remains solid. The wood surrounding the patch has begun to rot. Eventually I will install a new mailbox. But for now, this product is the best.
Concise, helpful video. I discovered BONDO awhile back when I needed a “fix” for rotted area on exterior window frame. Since then, it is my preferred wood filler for any project that gets covered or painted! Much better than any standard wood filler I’ve ever used (over 50 years woodworking). Thanks for taking the time to make a simple “how to” video for the average woodworker.
I used on a window sill hoping to give me a few years before replacing with another project, after 4 years of new england seasons it failed even with primer and latex paint on it? Very disappointed to say the least.
My father owned a body shop and I watched the work frequently. The bondo type material will chemically cure. At some point it is reasonably solid but can be shaped with rasps or tools that look like a cheesegrater. It has to cure further before you can sand it.
I've used tons of body filler for outdoor and concrete form work. We have used cheap versions of it and it works great too. Just don't use a ton of the hardener or it sets fast. 😂
Im replacing some plywood on my roof and have some gaps between the sheets of a 1/8 inch -1/4 inch. Would you use the PL product? Any comment would be aporeciated
Sorry but I do not agree with the use of Bondo especially on exterior use as it is porous and any moisture will be absorbed and separation will occur. Two part marine epoxy penetrates and accepts topcoats well. Getting callbacks for me is a big black eye in my experience. Nice short and clear presentation, thanks.
Great info, and nice and compact. Good tight edit, not everything needs a 20 minute video!
Much appreciated! That’s exactly what we’re going for 💪🏼
Love that Loctite construction adhesive!
Thanks for sharing, these are great videos to spread product knowledge and your expertise!
It’s bomb proof! 💣
Great info, Jeff. Titebond III is my go to also.

Thanks, Bill! Love the stuff!

Good to know!
Great info Jeff! I also use Titebond III glue in my shop. 👍👍
Thanks, Steve. Just like Frank’s Red Hot, I put that sh1t on everything! 😂
Thanks for the info as always...🤘🤘🤘
I've seen Jon Peters use bondo and and thought what a weird application but it actually makes sense.
You bet!
Great info
Thanks, Rick!

Thanks for tuning in! Bondo is definitely a solid option!

That’s a huge bummer. I’ve always found best to replace as much wood as possible then fill the gaps with Bondo.
My father owned a body shop and I watched the work frequently. The bondo type material will chemically cure. At some point it is reasonably solid but can be shaped with rasps or tools that look like a cheesegrater. It has to cure further before you can sand it.
Nice! Yes there’s definitely that in-between stage.

Oh yeah I’ve tried cramming it into a hole while it’s half cured 😂
@@TodaysCraftsmen I've mixed to much hardener in and went back for more and it's rock solid. Oops. 😂
😬😬😬

Probably best to use some butyl flashing tape.
@@TodaysCraftsmen thanks for the response. I will try that.
Anytime! Good luck.

Good thoughts! I used the Total Boat fairing compound and liked it.
