    You can lay a piece of wax paper over the body filler after applying it and use a small board on top of the wax paper to flatten and spread the filler out. After the filler sets up, the wax paper will peel right off leaving a flattened patch that requires minimum sanding.

      Thanks. I have several repairs I need to make on my aluminum pool cage frame. I'm certain the wax paper will also help to keep the autobody filler in place while it's setting. I've had a bit of difficulty keeping the filler from sinking into the little holes. Hoping this will help.

    Bought a house and realized someone who was here before me punched the steel front door, on the inside. I thought of filling it with auto body filler...now I think I will. Thanks!

    For little screw holes in hollow metal doors or panels, You can use a foam fun and shoot some foam in the holes, then after it has expanded dig a little out, then fill with Bondo

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    Hi, John. It's too bad that you decided to stop doing home reno channels. I mean, I respect your decision, but being a fan of all your other channels (even, shockingly, the scrap bin... although that one could have more project videos... just kidding ;-)) I have to say that I also especially enjoyed watching the various things you did to your house. I also lament that you took off a lot of the videos you previously posted here, because I did actually come back and rewatched a lot of them when they were still there.
    Don't take this comment as a complaint, though, it's really meant to be an expression of admiration of both your skills and your versatility.

    Ford those with child discipline issues, I solved it for a friend about 20 years ago. I was there when the door knock came, 6 year old won the footrace, and flung open the door to a stranger.
    Mom was upset. Stranger embarrassed.
    I excused myself, drove 4 miles to HD, bought another sight hole.
    Returning, I asked if Mom and Dad would allow me to install it, and stood the little girl on her toes to find the install height.
    Little girl could now be excited, reach the door first, and remain safe, by announcing strangers or know she knew who she opened for.

    Does bondo contain asbestos, I know it has talc in it, would this be dangerous to sand down inside the house? I didn’t want to have to take my front door off but have some tiny holes to fix and a minor dent but spent years picking all nontoxic products for my home because of my health.

    They make blank out plates and blank out plugs for deadbolt holes. Repairing a door this way doesn’t last long. It’s best to have a professional fix them so they last.

      In the auto business you progress from small to higher grit to keep it smooth.
      Metal with filler ends up at 1500 to 2000 grit.
