What type of bondo to use?
Well this is a pretty stupid question... But im prepping my 85 rx7 for paint and im just curious what type of bondo I should be using. I have used some sqeeze tube container type bondos and they seem to suck, should i just buy a tub of it and a plastic blade to apply it? Im using it to fill some holes, if that makes a difference.

The one your using is the wrong one, it's a green one right?it's not really bondo it's glaze, that one isn't for big job, and as many people call it putty-bondo it's for small jobs and gives you a good quailty finish.You should by dynalite or 3m bondos |
If your just filling small cosmetic imperfections, the grey bondo body filler works great. Just make sure you prime it right because it can absorb moisture. I find the fiberglass resin jelly(green stuff) too hard to sand for stuff like that, but it is much stronger when you need it.

ahh sorry for that repost

ya i got some of the green fiberglass bondo, it is a pain to sand but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. To clarify with it im fixing dents in the side of my car where i removed trim and im shaving my side reflectors, antenna, badges, and headlight squirters. Hopefully should look nice and clean once i get it all cleaned up and painted.
