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.

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.
