Honesty - Quality - Craftsmanship
Yes, a great idea! Been doing it myself for over 20 years. One other use for the fiberglass guys, (I have been building fiberglass parts for decades) I always hated gelcoat as it is brittle and cracks. (and not cheap) I mix 1 part fiberglass resin with 2 parts regular Bondo brand (like you) to make a "thin-ish" brush on coating. (33% resin) I even use the fiberglass hardener, instead of the Bondo hardener. It sands easier, no pinholes, and is flexible so it doesn't crack like gelcoat. Plus, it's great at hiding the fiberglass matt/cloth texture. I also use it to bond on automotive parts, great adhesion and quick finishing.
Frustrating time is a factor for CZcams pay. 8mins to get a two word answer. Thin bondo with fiberglass resin for a better finish, use basic common sense for ratio. Got it thank you. 👍
Can anyone else smell this video?
Correct, I am a fiberglass boat builder, bondo is a polyester body filler so you use polyester resin to thin it, the common resin for fiberglass work. I figured this out on my own when I opened a can of Bondo and it had dried out, it works and holds up over time. What you end up with is something like a glazing body filler. Styrene is a thinner for body filler and resin. It's a game changer especially good for beginners.
He added about 10 percent of fiberglass risen.
Yea Dude. It's called RONDO. They been doing this for YEARS IN FLA .N L.A. low rides. We're you been man. ??? Drinking Again 😛
Here’s a tip. I’ve been doing this for years as-well sometimes when it dries it may stay a little bit tacky and gum up your sand paper so I used wax and grease remover on a shop towel i give it a quick wipe and let it evaporate it removes all the stickiness and sands perfectly!!! 👌🏼💯
I,m 68yrs. old! Spread my 1st dent in my dad,s body shop when I was 12yrs. old and seen plenty before that one while emptying the barrels,etc. There was a product called "Bondo- Honey" he bought and the guys used it just for that reason. This was in 1968 folks. Lacquer primer and nitro-stan (red putty)! No mig welders, you brazed a new qtr. panel on the vehicle! Excellent video just the same! Jeff Dusti Shirley, Ma.
I’ve been adding resin or honey to my filler for 30 years. It stays sticky for a long time though and will clog your paper. I won’t use it on first fill but will use it as a final skim when you want no pin holes and such. Do it at the end of the day and sand in the morning. The real key to filler is not to use bondo brand.
Good video. Isn't that why the cans aren't full? One is expected to add the resin.
I took your advice and 30 years (off and on) of doing body work I've NEVER enjoyed working the mud! But now, I wanted to create extra dents to fix 😂... I'm so freaking glad I learned this before death comes knocking 😅
I'm not an auto body guy, but I do use Bondo for woodworking projects that will be painted. This is a great tip that I will definitely use, thanks!
I've worked with Bondo many times over the years, and I NEVER knew this. Outstanding tip. Thanks so much!
I paint 2-4 cars a year for side work. This will make a world of difference for me. Thanks for taking the time to share
Straight forward instructions, just great. Other CZcamsrs should learn from this guy
Man it appears lots of people have been doing this same thing for years , so what rock was I under dammit!! Thanks it only took me 50 years to find out Lmao 🤣
Rondo!! Sprayway customs (another channel) has been using that forever, but I will say, he’s never really explained how much to mix. Great video man! Thanks!
As a auto body tec and auto body painter, I can tell you we used this same technique with the fiberglass resin to make the bondo flow better with eliminating pin holes. Really works! We did it in the 1990s in our shop!
I appreciate your tip. I’m actually a woodworker that uses Bondo to fill voids on surfaces that will later be painted. Your tip will save me a lot of sanding. Yep, Bondo works fine on wood - if, and only if, you’ll be painting the project.
You know. This is actually genius. I was asking the guy at the paint store what makes the expensive bondo so much smoother and easier to spread than the cheaper stuff and he said. “Idk I guess they just use more resin” and I dint really know what he meant but this must be it. I tried this today and it works perfect. My first batch I made slightly to thin but after that I got it spot on. So much easier to work. Appreciate this. You gained a sub.
