Bondo for DIY Auto Body Repair for Beginners

The Motley Guy here bringing you an exciting first-time automotive body repair job on my truck. I'm in the middle of painting an old army humvee, and go find my videos on that coming soon. Meanwhile, I had to patch a few corners on the front fiberglass hood, so follow along on using Bondo's body filler.

Thank you!!! About to use Bondo for the 1st time, and intend to do everything you just demonstrated here - so your video is the nearly-perfect answer to all my questions! 😊😊😊

Thanks for the tip. I’d never heard of it, but I’ll give it a shot. In the meantime, the bondo on fiberglass seems to be holding up extremely well

You’re doing it. But yeah, too much hardener and light coats. Build it up too much and it will separate easier from the repair. And I didn’t see if you were but always wear a good respirator and eye protection. Especially if it’s fiberglass.

A fun video to watch... enjoy watching experienced craftsman demonstrating their skills. Thanks!
