Question Concerning Bondo

[f0xtr0t09]

Ok so I am on to the Bondo step, and I got my stuff and I was all excited, and then I remembered I know nothing about using it...



So I read the tutorials, very helpful, but there is one thing I could not find covered in the tuts, and the question is this:



Do I cover the enitre piece in bondo? or do I just cover parts I want to raise or such in it, then cover the rest of the piece with another product?

Only cover what needs to be smoothed. If the resined pep piece works fine, let it be

I would say give it another couple of layers of resin where your not going to bondo so it stays strong and smooth

Yeah, but that's what the fiberglass is for.

ok, i also would like to know how some people when after they are finished with their bondo, get a porcelain esque piece, it looks like a nice white, is that just the primer?

It's possible because it may have been pulled from a mold or they could have painted it with a white primer.

fiberglass is on the otherside, resining the spots that you wont bondo is a good plan
