Default Bondo Tutorial

Well, I have seen a lot of people asking how to use bondo, so here's a tutorial.

Alright, well since I had to re-bondo the top, I figured I should take some pictures of the bondo process and explain it best I can.

First off the supplies needed:
Bondo
Cream Hardener (should come with bondo)
Tac Cloth
Small Acrylic Sheet
Putty Knife
Tool to Open a Paint Can
(all seen below)



First thing you want to do is remove any dust from the place you are filling. You do this by using a Tac Cloth. They are very cheap and can be found anywhere sanding supplies are sold. Once it's clean, set your victim on a level surface.
Now it's time to mix up the bondo!
Take your tool/screw driver and open the bondo can. Yes, it's going to be a light gray color. At this time it's OK to leave it open for a minute or two while getting your mixing sheet/acrylic sheet and putty knife ready.



Once it's opened, make a rough guess on how much you will need. Just remember: try not to be short. It's better to have a little too much than not enough. Scoop the desired amount onto your mixing board (my acrylic sheet).



Once you have the right amount spread out, take the cream hardener and squirt a small amount onto the gray bondo.



Now it's time to mix it up; it should be a redish/pinkish color. If it seems too gray then add a little more. Once this is mixed you only have about 2-4 minutes of spread time.



Spread desired amount onto the needed area. Try to blend a little, too; make as thick as you want.



Bondo takes only 30-45 minutes to dry if it's 1/2 inch thick. So before you go sanding, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes. Then sand like you normally would.

Hope this was helpful; just remember to be confident! It's easy!

Till next time.

I have never done it but i dont think so man that stuff is hard as metal when it bries but i would try drilling it somewhere else before you put in on your pc.

The time of it dring can be shortened by adding more of that red stuff if you put alot it will dry in like 5 minutes.

You can drill it with a hole saw, but try to be careful. Take it slow and steady; don't just try to push through it.
