      @@deeznutzz8375 The problem with too little hardener is the edges don't set and then the edge can peal when sanding. However theres special types of bondo you can buy that sets even slower and theres also retardants to add that slow it setting. A product called 'Liquid Honey' can make it runny for horizontal bonnets and roofs.

    I've been repairing body panels for 50 years in Scotland. Your repair technique and patience are brilliant. Patience is the key, if your not sure of the finish, check and check again. Perfect preparation prevents piss poor performance. Mistakes will show up in the finished lacquered coat. Then its too late. Robert Wood, Rothesay, Scotland. 72 years young and still filling.

    I've bought this product. And use it some times when I have large areas that need filler to be applied. Mostly used and tested on the 56 chevy body as it curves a great deal and is far from straight anywhere. But using most tools is a learned skill as well as anything else. Instead of those of you commenting on something you've never used and leaving negative comments, why not hold your tongue until you've tried it yourself? How can someone even consider leaving a negative remark when not using this product? I don't get it! And yes you can use a DA to help speed the process if you know what you are doing. If you do use a DA and use it wisely, it saves lots of sanding by hand for sure. If you don't use it the right way, well, you can keep adding filler for days to come!

      I was thinking of doing that exact same thing for something else (not body repair-I’d be way too scared to attempt that!) ...or possibly one of my husband’s old metal real estate signs (not the big main sign...just one of those Little add-on’s. It’s roughly a 20”x 9” rectangle or so..). It would def.work for what I’m using it for. Just use tin snips to cut it to the length/width you need (if necessary). I like that It’s rigid on the straight edge, but still flexible long-ways so you can get a nice curved shape and feathered edges. All-in-all I really appreciated this video- I don’t know [really anything] about body work...so maybe all these rude know-it-all’s know something I don’t, but the end result was stunning (!!) sooo - I guess he did “something” right!

      Obviously you have no idea what real bodywork is all about. There is no way that the mud wouldn’t harden up in that amount of time applying it over and over. All that working and reapplying would create air bubbles. There is no time saving in this at all. That blade doesn’t make it straight. Sanding with a flat surface makes it straight. This is a joke.

    Dont apply bondo over sanded paint ...
    What 3M Said
    I have heard both opinions of this for years, but no concrete data. About one year ago I visited the 3M headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. While in their lab I asked this exact question. They said that body filler should not be applied over sanded paint. They said that this can cause repair mapping. It was explained to me that many technicians mistake this for sand scratch swelling or primer shrinking. When in fact, the chemicals in the filler can react with the layers of paint coatings causing them to swell or look a look like a shrinking problem.

    • @susiequeasy
      @susiequeasy  9 лет назад +5

      Thank you for your thoughtful, well written comment. It is coincidental that we were discussing this very issue the same day that your comment was posted. First we need to clarify exactly what you are referring to when you say “bondo”. Bondo is a specific product that has become a generic term for any polyester based body filler. In my experience in talking with a large number of auto body techs as well as my own experience with auto body repairs and restorations I have discovered that mixing a glazing putty with the filler, in varying ratios, (I can thicken up the glazing putty or thin down the filler depending on the repair), yields the best results and performance overall. In fact, 3M’s Platinum™ Plus Glaze states on the label, “a super premium, pourable polyester finishing glaze that provides excellent results on galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc-coated metals, SMC, and cured primer and paint. This stain free, tack free formula has superior spreadability and is super-easy to sand. Use for handling cracks, drags, hail-damage, pinholes, and full panel contouring.” Another product that is designed to mix the two products together (filler and glazing putty) is the Metal Works™system made by Evercoat. Evercoat states that this is an inter-mixable system that works together extremely well. In my many years of experience of repairs and restorations I have not had any problems with paint failure or “mapping” with mixing these two products, the filler and a glazing putty. I encourage anyone to do some research and use what you are comfortable with. I also encourage any questions regarding this issue. Ultimately find what works best for you and build your reputation on that.

    • @mikeshammer

      Adam Maxwell Actually you are completely wrong. I have the printed data from OEM and bondo is not to be applied over bare metal. Very few ,in fact only a couple plastic fillers have proper corrosion protection. Bare metal should be etched and epoxy primer placed over it. Most all plastic repair products are Polyester based today and it is perfectly accepted and recommended to go over OEM finish. If its been refinished it should be stripped and epoxy coated .

As long as the " substrate is sound and been there for years and cured etc it's fine... However most good body guys I follow and learned from always apply to bare metal too ... The bondo won't get wet from behind unless he metal is Swiss cheese .... It's been done for years who cares if a company doesn't recommend it .... Every cock ring company wants to sell their brand and stuff u don't always need....

    118 dislikes, roughly 15% actually know how to do bodywork. That process is flawed but would look good to somebody who doesn't know how, and a complete waste of time but if it works for you is what matters. Maybe someday you will figure it out. Leaving the blade out of the equation, I would suggest building the heavy areas in the center first, roughing out with a body file, grater, grinder or whatever and using one nice finish coat at the end i.e. don't block into previously laid filler. I also question the amount of pinholes that process leaves. It is very difficult to apply even pressure on a compound surface over that length of spreader but as it is up to an individuals preferences, I'm glad it works for you.

      over "sanded" paint or primer is fine these days. It is actually better not to expose the bare metal. 47 yrs I've been doing body work, yes it use to be grind the paint off first but that changed in 1988 for me with the new paints, primers and body fillers that came out.

    I love how the internet jockies chime in. I wish they practiced what they preached and posted their own videos so we could critique them. Video was very informative, it's never to late to learn a few new tricks. Panel came out razor sharp and paint is nice and wet. Proof is in the result. 👍 Some people obviously have never done this, or don't grasp the concept- most of what is laid on gets sanded off as overfill to achieve a straight panel. Tis why it's called working the panel. I would hate for them to see the prep involved working a car 20 plus years old, if they are crying about this. However, then again they are probably eating cheetos, with youtube pulled up, making up their magical credentials on why they know better. While enjoying their favorite car show on tv spreading that stuff on like cake frosting. Being impressed by their idol that has a group of 50 guys actually doing the work behind the scenes. Go figure? Awesome job, you definitely are an artist.

    @INFOtruth 8 лет назад +92

    Ive been in this trade for years, sorry, but this is not how to do it.. As the mud was being applied, high spots were clearly seen, they should have been knocked down before applying filler,
    Filler or what you call bondo, should not be applied over paint.
    You were sanding with grit that is far too fine, making extra work and not getting the shape of the panel as the filler was being sanded.
    For the amateurs out there, this is not a good way to learn, you'll end up in a mess with loads of wasted material.
    Sorry for being negative, I appreciate your efforts made

      Yeah I was thinking the same thing, been a journeyman for thirty years myself. Have you ever seen anybody sand an entire coat of bondo just to put another coat of bondo on top? It seems to me that this "blade" business is just a substitute for being able to tell when your panel is "straight", anything to sell stuff to people that have no business being in the trade.

    wow very nice video originally i thought to myself that the bonds had a very extended work time compared to any i’ve done in South Florida than i noticed the winter hat you were wearing indicating cooler temperatures than i normally work in plus the majority of my plastic filler use in the last 25 years or so has been in woodworking and inside a climatically controlled enviorment and the bonds tends to go off pretty quickly as i think the wood absorbs moisture pretty fast ?

      Now that filler can be adjusted for desired time to setup, and still keep the ratio correct, it is easier to learn how to get it right, while the filler is still soft.
      More than one type can now. Rage Ultra and Rage Extra
      ruclips.net/video/sJcJ0lOKJJo/видео.html
      Others can as well.
      He has more info in other postings, and on his site.
      It is now far faster to shape the filler soft, than once it hardens.
      Shops that don't start to understand this, are like people who try to stay with Windows 3.1, while others have moved on to Windows XP or higher already. They will soon be left behind. And no, I do not work for the seller of this, or for the filler companies. But I do know from experience, that this does work very good.
