Ive used this panel bond alot! Just a tip for ya. After you use just leave old mixing nozzle on. The part at the base will not harden. When your ready to use again just undo nut and presto. Give it a shot. Love videos man!
Thank you! Well, there are a lot of different kinds of filler. Cheap and mass produced and most commonly used would be Bondo, of course. But Earl used Fibertech on Eleanore, that wasn't cheap. Hehe! But it was able to be layed thick where it needed to be.
Always good to save old classics, I've never owned a beetle but being in the UK they rust out badly. Haven't seen Bee around much but I hope she's doing ok 😊
Oh man, they rust out badly here, too! But thankfully the cars of the south don't have to deal with salted roads, rather they fill up with water instead from all the rain haha! You know you found a good VW here when its a pond inside.... means it hasn't rusted through yet! Bee is fine, she'll be back when she feels like it. You can't make a woman do anything, right?
@DuckmanCycles Very true and being in Florida is a little like the UK but with tornadoes 😂 All that salty water doesn't do any car good, even modern day ones. Man! That is so true, nothing wrong with a VW pond. Throw a few koi fish inside, excellent water garden feature 😂 So glad Bee is doing ok, I know from her last post many moons ago she was struggling with mental health, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right? I don't know Bee as personally as yourself but she is an incredible person with a heart of gold, that's how she comes across to me anyway. I'm not sure how her VW " Ruby" is doing?
Tornadoes not very common here... they do happen, but nothing large scale. This part of the state seems to get them more frequently than elsewhere, but we're also closer to tornado alley.
Quite so! All the real work was the lead up to the final event. Welding exterior bodywork is usually the opposite, all the cleanup that comes after. Hehe!
G'day Lord Duckman, I'm glad you covered panel bond. I've not long purchased some to try out on my latest project, a 67 split panel. I was thinking of glueing in a new rear floor. And glad to see the Z running there a nice car. So thanks for sharing the knowledge Duckman. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Hi Kevin! My Bus is exactly what I bought this panel bond for! I have a small stockpile of it for installing that floor in my Bus among other things. Someday I'll get around to it! LoL! Hoping for more shop space before then!
Thank you thank you! Glad I could help! This is certainly a viable repair method for those that cannot weld, don't have interest in welding, or have an HOA or something lol... Give it a try! Might be of good use! Thanks again for the comment!
Glad you were able to get the locking nuts off! man that looked like a total ballache! i love wheelbearings that are bolt on like that so much easier to do unlike the ones where you have a circlip to hold them in then you got to press the damn things out! glad my car has similar ones to yours so much easier!
And yeah, these wheel locks might be the best ones on the market. I have not seen anyone else review these, but they are NOT quick and easy to defeat like some of the others on the market, nor at all like the ones that ProjectFarm reviewed. They do what they are supposed to and dramatically SLOW DOWN, if not completely stop a thief.
Great fix on the rust. I fixed a similar spot on my fastback. Welded it. I'm a horrible welder. Lol. I will definitely be trying the bonding glue in the future. Great video Lord Duckman 🦆. Noel
Nice fabricating. That flange tool is nice, I need one! Nice bodywork. “That hurt a little bit”…that was good 😁 I like Rage, it sands very easily. Great video Glenn!!
Yep! Panel bond is a good viable material for repair, available to anyone, and especially suited for those that are afraid of welding, or unable to do so.... or if they're just looking to save some time! Recommended! Thanks man!
@DuckmanCycles You're over 6 feet tall. You are a little physically stronger than most people shorter than you, Glenn. Some things come easier to you. I have difficulty some times due to Charchott Marrie Tooth Syndrome. That makes me weaker than yourself. One more thing! "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!"
Thanks so much Richard I appreciate it, and yeah no kidding I often take my strength for granted. Usually things work out for me unless I accidentally smash them, a little sometimes it's a deliberate smashing when I Hulk out... hahha. Thanks again dude, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving yourself, wish you a Merry Christmas of course!
Sir, so what will you do to replace the foam? That foam acted as a sound deadener and kept any engine compartment fumes out of the cabin. I also have a '74 Super. Fortunately, as of now, my foam is healthy and intact, but that is because it spent it's entire life living out of the sun, but in the dry environment of the Mojave desert. I, however, live in the central valley of California, and eventually know I'll need to deal with the foam
I'm very familair with what it does... earlier VWs never even had it. But, it's a negative pressure area, not much for fumes until vehicle is off and sitting. But what I plan to do on my own car is put some foam into a bag in there, so it can be molded to shape and removed as a large piece.
I think they had similar compounds back then, but they are vastly better nowadays... Welding is still best, but for some of these repairs, panel bond is just fine!
It was around in late 90's. Think about the Fiero and that Pontiac Minivan - they had plastic panels that were held together by..... panel bond ! A body shop told me they had a repeat customer, and the panel bond area they first fix held together in the second crash in the same area. AND, it will not rust as fast as a welded repair, and will not warp big panels. I welded the sliding door of my bus, easy ! I'm sold. - BTW I am trying a small 10 dollar structural JB weld product - small tube cheaper than a static mixer on teh 3M stuff.
Hey I have a question. I have a 74 standard beetle and got rust around my vents on the rear just right above where your working in this video. What are those called and I but those panels? Or do you think cut them out and add scoops. Not sure what to do
Hi there, there's two panels in question- above the gutter it's the roof panel below the gutter it's the rear quarter panel or sail panel. I don't know if that answers your first question, it was a little hard to understand. The second question depends on your goals. If you dig into that area you're going to have to pull out all the foam and repair to stop future rust. If scoops are what you're looking for, like for a rat rod or something, then that's up to personal preference, only you can decide. I hope that helps! More fun videos to come! Thanks for the questions!
Happy Thanksgiving my dude! I've got Thankgiving gas the past couple days... ugh! LoL! I'm no fun to be around... unless you want me to clear out the madhouse of shoppers somewhere.
About an inch bigger (wider and longer) than whatever size the hole was. I guess that kinda applies to any hole you patch using this method, no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@craigjohnson3603 I looked briefly and I couldn’t find any of my videos that were stolen, but I did find somebody that made a playlist out of my videos. But that’s good for me, I lose nothing and gain more exposure!
And if it did..... IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT VIDEO FAILURE! But if it held up to that, and didn't have an issue..... have I not proved that its a good product? LoL!

Take off the nut? Then it explodes everywhere. LoL! Thanks man!
Looking good 🎉 first time I have seen a repair done like that. Quite a few steps but end result is great 🎉
Thanks man! Perfect for people that don't weld or those looking to save a little time!
I always wonder what body filler is best for skim coat or thicker applications. Sometimes it seems soupy. That panel came out nice.
Thank you! Well, there are a lot of different kinds of filler. Cheap and mass produced and most commonly used would be Bondo, of course. But Earl used Fibertech on Eleanore, that wasn't cheap. Hehe! But it was able to be layed thick where it needed to be.

As far as the salt water is concerned... we don't drive in it LoL!
And Ruby is red.... because she's my Fastback! Hehe!
Great video on panel bond. Alot if people get scared about using it.... just remember prep work is 80% of the job...
Quite so! All the real work was the lead up to the final event. Welding exterior bodywork is usually the opposite, all the cleanup that comes after. Hehe!
Thanks Duckman. Great demonstration. Your skills are endless. Looks like the glue works well.
Thanks man! Panel bond.... RECOMMENDED 10/10!
Well made job Duckman. Congratulations from Copacabana, Rio, Brazil.
Hello my Brazilian friend! Hope you're smiling down there!
G'day
Lord Duckman,
I'm glad you covered panel bond. I've not long purchased some to try out on my latest project, a 67 split panel. I was thinking of glueing in a new rear floor.
And glad to see the Z running there a nice car.
So thanks for sharing the knowledge Duckman.

Hi Kevin! My Bus is exactly what I bought this panel bond for! I have a small stockpile of it for installing that floor in my Bus among other things. Someday I'll get around to it! LoL! Hoping for more shop space before then!
Hey duckman back in the late 80s early 90s Buick Riviera used to panel Bond part of the frame rail on on the front frame.
And its used on most modern cars, today! How about dem apples? :)
My guess on the Z is you have loss of communication due to a dead battery. Thanks for explaining the panel bond use and the bag demo! Cool!
Thanks man! The Z is fine no loss of communications that I can tell. Just a dead battery is a dead battery, right? lol
I have watched this twice … panel bonding interests me because I don’t have a welder … touche’ sir… very informative. Thanks
Thank you thank you! Glad I could help! This is certainly a viable repair method for those that cannot weld, don't have interest in welding, or have an HOA or something lol... Give it a try! Might be of good use! Thanks again for the comment!
Whoa weld-less method 😲🤘🏽🔥 so cool!!!
Yep! Sure beats welding in some cases!
Glad you were able to get the locking nuts off! man that looked like a total ballache! i love wheelbearings that are bolt on like that so much easier to do unlike the ones where you have a circlip to hold them in then you got to press the damn things out! glad my car has similar ones to yours so much easier!
Yeah, I've seen them all... the classic VW ones are pressed into the hubs, no clips. Much dirty work... but They're far cheaper, too! 😁👍🦆💩
And yeah, these wheel locks might be the best ones on the market. I have not seen anyone else review these, but they are NOT quick and easy to defeat like some of the others on the market, nor at all like the ones that ProjectFarm reviewed. They do what they are supposed to and dramatically SLOW DOWN, if not completely stop a thief.
That flanging tool is awesome!!! 😲🤘🏽🔥
Thanks man! I've had that one around a while, I don't use it too awfully much, but it sure helps in times like these!
Great fix on the rust. I fixed a similar spot on my fastback. Welded it. I'm a horrible welder. Lol. I will definitely be trying the bonding glue in the future. Great video Lord Duckman 🦆. Noel
Thanks man! Can't beat the panel bond for a good no-weld repair!
Nice work Duckman , the panel bond looks pretty useful stuff. Well done!
Thanks man! It makes the job really easy for those that can't weld! It came out quite nice!
Whoa VW gokart shell 😲🤘🏽🔥
You're the only one that stuck around to watch until the end lol!
nice job.
Thanks Jim! It turned out nice!
Looks great! That's so cool and No welding! 😊
Yes sir! Gets the job done, even for folks that don't know how to weld!
Nice fabricating. That flange tool is nice, I need one!
Nice bodywork.
“That hurt a little bit”…that was good 😁
I like Rage, it sands very easily. Great video Glenn!!
Thanks man! It turned out well! People that see it find it hard to believe it wasn't welded in... lol! But everyone is pleased!
Nice work Glenn. My son has been using the panel bond on his projects with good results. Tks for sharing, glad to see the Z still lives.
Yep! Panel bond is a good viable material for repair, available to anyone, and especially suited for those that are afraid of welding, or unable to do so.... or if they're just looking to save some time! Recommended! Thanks man!
BTW, Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.
Thanks Thomas! You're the first one to wish me one! I appreciate it! Hope you're enjoying your day!
Very nice job Duckman
Thank you! It turned out good!
Glenn
Good evening
Hi Joe! Happy Thanksgiving!
luna sounds great!!!
If a girl! Here's hoping! Time shall tell!
Wow great job your the best of the best
You are the best Thank you much! 😁👍🦆💩
Great job it looks great
Much appreciated my friend!
Luv the new mini body gonna be awesome
You're the only one that commented on it, I think you're the only one that watched until the end of the video haha!
You should try to add a little opoxy to the bondo, Glenn. It makes it smoother to spread on.
Sounds good, but that's not what the manual calls for. No idea what undesirable effects or strange chemistry could occur.
@@DuckmanCycles I have seen it used on another UA-cam channel call Bad Chad's Customs. It works well.
I find bondo easy enough to spread, though... nothing needed. Maybe Duckman has super strong wrists or something.
@DuckmanCycles You're over 6 feet tall. You are a little physically stronger than most people shorter than you, Glenn. Some things come easier to you. I have difficulty some times due to Charchott Marrie Tooth Syndrome. That makes me weaker than yourself. One more thing! "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!"

Thanks again dude, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving yourself, wish you a Merry Christmas of course!
I guess pannel bond does take away the risk of heat distortion to the pannel .
Fact! It all came together pretty good! 😁👍🦆💩
maybe use the air blower to clean out the tips?
Wont be clean! Will be gooey residue! 😁👍🦆💩
Sir, so what will you do to replace the foam? That foam acted as a sound deadener and kept any engine compartment fumes out of the cabin. I also have a '74 Super.

The flange/hole puncher tool is Generally referred to as a Joggler
And I always thought that was the name for a left hand based on its usual function. 😁👍🦆💩
That bonding compound is the cat's meow Duckman! Was that around in the 80s when I was restoring my old VWs?
I think they had similar compounds back then, but they are vastly better nowadays... Welding is still best, but for some of these repairs, panel bond is just fine!

Does that Beetle have a “shag” top? (1:12-1:44)
Way cool 👍
Yeah, an old piece of carpet from when I bought this house! .... lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👍🏻🦆💩
What’s going on? Did we leave it not welded?
Yes we left it not-welded. Check out the follow-up video!
What size sheet metal on that patch ?
About an inch bigger (wider and longer) than whatever size the hole was. I guess that kinda applies to any hole you patch using this method, no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well hello there. 😁👍🦆💩
Acetone to melt the foam???
Does not work, mentioned in the video. 😁👍

After a great job of removing rust, patching holes and sanding, I guess it's hard to tell that the surface has been patched after painting.
