Thank u Joe
Thanks for your work!
You are welcome
Informative thanks!! 🙏🏻
You re welcome 🤗
Just FYI, if you have a huge gaping hole like shown in the bonda glass example, body filler will not repair that. Body filler is meant to be applied at max 1/8th thickness
What if I spray foam it then bondo above that
You can repair it but you have to ether put a backing inside the area or hammer in the edges and put down fiberglass strips then your bondo. And if it has a piece of meal behind it you can bust fill it with glass and finish over it. Worked every time I’ve done it on my cars and will last about 7-8 years.
you re absolutely right. that repair area was not done at that time and it was my e36 drift car really did not wanna get too fancy . we are doing DIY cheats here
Best hole repair, lead it in. Second best repair weld in sheet metal. Third best repair POR15 with fiberglass cloth. Forth best repair fiberglass resin and cloth. Fifth best repair as this video.
What would you use to repair cracks and holes in the headliner board. I need smth what won't fell off later due to heat. Thank you for the informative film.
Definitely on the back side you can use fiberglass cloth and resin , on top of holes or cracks that will workout.

Thanks, and wish you could update it, too. I appreciate hearing about how the different types are used. I have High Bond and I am not sure how its different. Also, can you use different color Bondo activator creams or must you use the same color cream in one job?
You are welcome. We will work on updating the video with something newer with better quality. You can definitely use different color bondo activators, that won’t affect anything surely
Just used bondo glass for the first time, good stuff
Yes that stuff is strong once it cures
@@WheelersHoarder Torch flash it after last sanding to expose small air cavities, fill with glazing putty.
Hi! Will fiber glass 2 be the best option for fiberglass top? It is the edges that need repair. I have some pictures I can send you 😊
Sorry i did miss your comment and did not see it until now 😁 i m pretty sure you already figured it out but let me know if not
Question: Can the cure time be extended by adding less than the recommended amount of hardener? Also, will it cure to the same strength?... just take longer to harden?... Which is what I need. Thanks
Yes the cure time can be extended by adding less hardener, but be careful there is a minimum amount , if it’s not mentioned on the product then give it a try and check until you get a perfect result. It is always going to be much better with enough hardener for finishing and sanding
What type of "Bondo" will i need to prep a bonnet ready for paint?
I got a fiberglass bonnet scoop mounted to my bonnet but you can see the outline on where the scoop is sitting on the bonnet.. I want it to look so that the scoop is moulded to the bonnet in one piece.. Not see the lines from the scoop
A Bondo regular body filler will do just fine . Take your time with sanding and go slow through grits . You can also go with the Bondo pro gold it is typically the same thing
Thanks
Thank you😮
You re welcome
I bought a small bondo body filler
It has a cover on it
I think I already put the hardner and mixed because I can’t find it
Or it just came like this body filler will this get hard? And seal a small hole on fiberglass?
The hardner should come with it . It is usely different color . Don't use it without a hardner because it will never cure and turn solid.
best thing for a large crease on a car door where my son hit a guard rail and creased the door skin all the way across 1/4 inch deep or less?
It it is narrow I would just sand around it and apply regular body filler , if it is wide enough you can pull on it and straighten it up with a suction dent puller first.
Find a good matching paint and paint the whole repaired area
Strange situation here:
Im trying to make a rigid tube out of bondo coating a sonotube/form tube(google for reference)
I plan to use the fiber sheets and bondo resin.. Will i be able to sand it down to a good even shape when i finish?
Should I use the fiber sheets and bondo resin, let it cure. Then cover in the body filler bondo so that I can sand it down?
Yes that is absolutely the way to do it I would coat it with resin and lay fiberglass cloth on it and just like you said adding a coat of filler then sand it , that is the best way to do it and surely it will workout good
thank you my brother. Amen
You re welcome brother
The tailgate on my 2007 4Runnner is starting to rust towards the bottom. It's got maybe a 0.5 inch separation of panel seems on the bottom edge in one particular spot (about about 6-8" long).
My intention is to use some kind of filler there, roughly sand it, apply POR15 over it, then rustoleum paint over that to stop the bleeding (rusting) as much as I can.
I was originally thinking the short strand fiberglass would be best since there is a bit of panel separation, but wondering if I should just use the standard filler or the gold?
That sounds like you got a good plan there , the most difficult part about the job is when you sand it make sure you take your time , a regular filler is enough to use instead paying more . And surely the paint matching part can be a pain in the ass
@@WheelersHoarder Not really concerned about the paint matching since it's on the bottom edge, it's not really visible. Even if it were, not overly concerned about that as the car's far from perfect with its age and 250k+ miles
@@PapaP86 wish if UA-cam would add the pictures in comments, that d be nice sharing projects
I have Step 2 and 3, I don't know if it's that same as short fiber(2) and gold filler(3) tho?
Sorry bro Can you repeat the question with other words , did you mean stage instead of step ,
Does the fiber glass jelly stick to plastic?
Robin I never tried it, but most likely it won’t hold on to a plastic part
I need to fill a crack in a fiberglass shower in an RV around the drainage area. Would I use the Bondo filler, hair or the glass?
I would use the fiberglass cloth and let it cure then add short strands and sand it , it works great
Perfect video 🔧👍👍
Thank u
I made a mistake, purchased and used " fiberglass hardener" how much of a problem did I create for myself? It did seem to get hard but not as hard and as quickly as the cream hardener.
It should not work as it should,as the hardner is chemicaly meant to react with the fiberglass. You may have to grind it off.
Should I use Bondi glass on a plastic bumper? Never done it, it’s badly scratched
It will hold it together , but you would rather use some fiber glass cloth and resin from back . Even best way, use hot metal wires stitches if the bumper is thick enough .
Can i use bondo filler as fairing compound?
I don't think you can use bondo as it is based on polystyrene while fairing compounds are usually epoxy
Thoughts on using just fiberglass resin, no cloth, as an undercoat for a mower deck?
Would it work better on raw metal surface, or painted metal?
It would definitely work much better on bare metal , but it can also depends on the thickness and surface of paint .so it is like both ways works for sure but surely bare metal is better .
If it’s something like undercoating I wouldn’t be too worried about removing the paint .
@@WheelersHoarder The video I saw on youtube is "John Deere 48 Mower Deck - Fiberglass Resin undercoat".
Looks like it'd work pretty good but wasn't sure about the paint. I know they have some paints now that will convert the existing surface rust. It's difficult to get every nook and cranny down to bare metal, will take a lot of extra time but I have the gear to do it. Also looking into epoxy resin vs vinylester and polyester resins. I guess epoxy is the best and doesn't have any shrinkage, so a stronger bond. Would be cool to have a nice glossy long lasting undercoat, especially after having to repair and upweld the deck back to it's former glory.
@@swiss6253 you are right epoxy is best to go for and right bare metal is unnecessary or waste of time . With that setup I’m sure the mower vibration won’t be a problem at all to spread any cracks
@@WheelersHoarder Now I have to figure out which one to buy, is the jewelry stuff the same as boat stuff? They don't seem to differentiate from each other much. Thanks a lot for your time and videos, appreciate it.
@@swiss6253 you re welcome I’m glad you like them videos , I would get the things for boats it’s perfect to use for your application.
hi nice video i had a question what bondo can I use to fill up a hole in a plastic bumper im trying to hide factory fog light holes and want to be able to sand paint and finish thanks!!!
Speak Spanish ,? I have all the answers
I m sorry for not answering , I m more than happy to help , I just missed your comment notification bud
So i've got a hole thats like an inch and will probably be bigger when i sand it. Also the surrounding areas needs sanding and covered with paint. Would i use filler or the bondo glass?
It would be better using fiberglass cloth and resin , I have another video about it I will put the link in a comment

@@WheelersHoarder ty good sir
Can Bondo be molded to repair a wheel on an expensive suitcase that was damaged ?
Unfortunately it can’t be good for doing something like that. It won’t work
Liquid urathane of the proper durometer.
Will bondo fix a cracked bumper
It works on bumpers just add it on small proportions
Exactly what I was looking for for cosplay on foam, but I have smaller pots hah
Bro that is Cool, using expanding foam is genius let the hater hate lol
Please subscribe
Thanks for information
I completely wish the spot putty came in "clear".
go grab a 2 part glazing/spot putty(not sure if Bondo makes one but I know Evercoat does). Anyway once you use 2 part you will throw that tube of red garbage in the trash. 2 part is like using filler that is super thin and smooth but made of the same stuff as the filler.
I can’t figure out how to open it 😭
surely it can get aggravating opening them , use a flat screwdriver and take your time
I used metal bondo on plastic bumper by mistake lol shlould I be okey ?
You will be totally fine , it will work on both metal or plastic
Bondo!
Found in a trailer park near you.....
Lol true
@@WheelersHoarder Hahah! I have a tub in the garage. That stuff has a LOT of uses~
Can I email you with pictures and see what's recommended?
Absolutely bro
@@WheelersHoarder what's your email? I'll send pics.

Will bondo body filler fix a half inch hole
I would use fiberglass as in this video
Fiberglass and resin repair kit demonstration
ua-cam.com/video/dXFSpD1LxKU/v-deo.html
Bondo can fill holes about 1/4 inch max other than that you need structural material
I would not use Bondo glass for repairing metal only fiberglass in plastics type materials
Totally agreed with you, welded metal patches are the right fix , but never had a problem with using fiberglass
Dude I'll do respect before you add that spot putty you should go through your sanding grits 60 120 and so on that wasn't ready for spot putty too much scratches you could sand all that down to perfection
Open them up and demo them!
I m working on a video to demo them ,
which one offers a bit of flexibility?
The gold filler is the one that can give you most flexibility and nice finish
lol he said POOTY
should mention that any Bondo type product will suck in 4 months down the road. making a straight panel no longer straight.
I like your comment it is definitely true , that’s why high quality projects rely on metal patches.
