so.. bondo? hand sand or use electric sander??
Electric sander to get it close and then hand sand to a finish. That's how I do it anyway.
I would not ever use Bondo it is garbage. Use Auto grade filler you will save yourself a ton of time and sandpaper. Hand sand everything only way to make it true to form/straight and sharp.
Indeed ^^. "Bondo" is a name brand, but people usually use it as the general term for body filler. "Bondo" is not a garbage brand. It is made by 3M, and they make quality products. You should just look for an auto body filler at your local hardware or auto shop. You can electric sand or file off the bigger chunks (if they happen) but I find hand sanding to be the best. It allows you to feel better. If you have any straight or flat parts, try using a piece of wood or a popsicle stick for smaller more detailed areas. Any questions, feel free to PM me.
Autobody tech for 23+ years?! Well sir, I am not worthy. I have been an Autobody tech for only 4 years. I haven't really had any issues with the Bondo product. I pictured "garbage brands" as that low quality crap from Walmart that no one has really heard of.
Hope I didn't step on your toes as the new guy. -.-
