Paul;
I always use allmetal it is a metal base bondo which does not absorb
moisture like regular
Bondo.
I did this to my 83 westy with no rust in 7 years now.

Should the Bondo be warm to start with? Or should I heat the area that I'm
working on to allow it to dry. Another question, is there a ratio or a
different way to give the Bondo the consistency of clay? I need to fill a
large area, and be able to shape it. My previous attempts at this proved
unsuccessful. The mixture was too runny to mold easily, and I spent a half
hour shaping the liquid until it began to set. Thank you for the input.
