well i know your gonna hate me for this but im just a kid

if you cant stand the word bondo leave now.wel i went to autozone and bought trhis stuff that removes rust. well it did great i blew my expatations (sp) away. i though it wouldent work i poured a little in the area rubber with a news paper let it sit and good bye rust.so i did my pass door and qtr. panel. but with a hole like that that looks so ugly i bondoed it. im only a kid with and no welder no sheet metal. but later in the year im going to ask my welding teacher if i can drive it in there and weld new sheet metal on the bondo places.

 

Progress is progress. All that matters is that you're happy with it !

 

ya know im a air force metal fabricator and i still use bondo to so dont feel bad man!

 

yeah the best body shops use bondo, it smooths out imperfections, the key is to use no more than you have to , good luck with your car

 

Gotta do what ya gotta do! What was the name of the rust remover?

 

thats exsactly what i do.

 

Great words to live by

 

yeah, i'd be interested in the name of the rust remover also. and where did you get it?

 

If it's good enough for planes than.....

 

only on my cars man! air force uses 956 smoothing compound for planes
its good stuff.

 

My opinion, as long as you know where you bondo'd and make a mental note to someday fix it up, it's all cool. I'm getting to that point myself, don't know how to weld and don't have any machinery to do so, so good ol' bondo will be in my near future for the holes from the chrome removal all over my car.

 

ya know mixing baking soda with bondo makes it thicker! o hi ladyecltic79.did you get the p.m i sent you?

 

Oh yeah I definitely got it. :bananaman Haven't stopped bouncing since.


I've also heard that bondo sometimes cracks/breaks away because it doesn't expand and shrink with the metal?

 

Will it crack easier?

 

yes ,it will thats the down side. when i want to smooth out a sligth dent i use
30 min epoxy it shinks and sreches verry well .but dont sand it with a high power sander!
it will melt it!
