Great tips, Man! Masking tape to protect areas you don't want covered 👍, mixing the cream hardener before use to homogenize it 👍, removing the tape and filler drippings before it's fully cured 👍
For sanding I use a random orbit sander and to help find high and low spots I use a strong flashlight lighting the surface from a slant 😉

Man i love the way you explain the process, im a 56 year old man my son bought a new car and gave me his 99 single cab sport bed red xtream s10 that I always thought looked so cool im thinking of doing the bodywork myself, although it is a little intimidating, but I don't have the money to have someone else do it so im going to try thanks for your time

I’m using bondo to fill gaps in a 3D printed part. I wasn’t expecting this to be so informative. I feel like I know what I’m doing now, despite being in a different area of work. Thank you.

Learned so much on this YouTube channel rather than auto-body school...keep them coming!

[drummer_zay]

Thank you so much for this video sir. I'm a rookie body tech assistant and my lead hasn't really taught me much about the techniques of body filler spreading and sanding. This helped a lot. Cheers and thumbs up!

WARNING : just to let Amateurs know... you should always wear a proper respirator + Goggles when sanding or painting etc... unless you like chronic chest problems or missing eye syndrome, i would also recommend overalls, ventilated area, gloves, steel toe boots, patience

Thanks for getting right into it. A lot of Bondo videos I have been watching do a lot of blah blah blah instead of getting right into how to actually do the thing.

We are just starting to do this, on about a 100 little scratches, dings& rust. Had not heard of putty after Bondo. But I see the difference. Also, nice demonstrations. grill

This guy ROCKS!. why? Cuz now you can buy a vintage car and know that you can bring it to back to life no matter how much its been modified. RESURRECT an old car and you resurrect the beauty, dreams and soul of the original owner -- the feeling you get when she roars again is priceless!!!

A Great idea for beginners! Keep up the great videos. I’ve been doing Body & paint since 1986. I’m glad I can do it now with the price of getting a car painted. Yikes. $10k +.

This is so helpful y didn’t we learn this in school lol can’t wait to use this at work

Tips! fiberglass resin thins out bondo so you can make it as thin as you want. Never lay up bondo thicker then 1/16" thick at a time or you will get air pockets in it and the paint will blister after a while. I use clean bondo dust and rub it on the final coat and this helps so your sand paper doesn't clog up so much. Just try to rub the dust on lightly while the bondo is still tacky.

Just started a job at a body shop. This helped a lot! Thanks man.

You do a great job. Very clear and easy to understand. If you wore a T-shirt with your "Car Addict Garage" logo on it, it might remind your audience who you are throughout the video. Good promotional item, too! Nice background music.

[meiccan]

has to be one of the clearest example of to make an to the point how to exploitation, Great Video

[MrAudi]

Nice calm and informative video, easy to follow.I started my first paint project on my daily, that has been body filled badly by the previous owner, filler is on to thick and the paint was orange peal, so not very good and it started to rust on some spots, so i'm taking matters into my own hands.😅

I enjoyed watching your video…nothing really new to me except for your 2-part glazing putty…but well presented. My only question is, what’s with all the hand sanding? I would opt for a 2” or 3” DA sander or an in-line sander to get the bulk of the material off, then go for a 3 x 7 manual pad sander with vacuum dust collection. The dust collection is not necessary if you’re working outside or in an open shop, but it does reveal any little pin holes that could show up later in the paint. I always use compressed air to blow off the area, even if I am using a vacuum.
Keep up the good work educating people about autobody repair!! Thank you 😎

Good tip with the cloth feeling the highs and lows of the filler and metal. It takes years of developing the touch by bare hand.

[Del-Canada]

Dude. You are an artist. This is an art form. I absolutely cannot do this. I make a total mess every time. I need some body work done because of corrosion and some damage to a panel and I don't know where to start and can't afford to pay a pro at the moment so I have been watching Youtube videos. LOL

[julien-pierredufresne]

thanks ! i started working in a body shop like 2 months ago and each time i try to lay the mastic and finition putty the other guys need to re-do the job cause i did sum' wrong, hope your tips will get me on the right way! thanks again!
