Honesty - Quality - Craftsmanship
I,m 68yrs. old! Spread my 1st dent in my dad,s body shop when I was 12yrs. old and seen plenty before that one while emptying the barrels,etc. There was a product called "Bondo- Honey" he bought and the guys used it just for that reason. This was in 1968 folks. Lacquer primer and nitro-stan (red putty)! No mig welders, you brazed a new qtr. panel on the vehicle! Excellent video just the same! Jeff Dusti Shirley, Ma.
Thanks !! just passing on this old time bodyman trick to a new generation. Thanks for the comment !
Correct, I am a fiberglass boat builder, bondo is a polyester body filler so you use polyester resin to thin it, the common resin for fiberglass work. I figured this out on my own when I opened a can of Bondo and it had dried out, it works and holds up over time. What you end up with is something like a glazing body filler. Styrene is a thinner for body filler and resin. It's a game changer especially good for beginners.
Thank you for the comment ! for all the new people working filler
Thank you for your reply , much appreciated 🇦🇺

Could you do this method and use on plastic?
I kinda figured it out in the mid-70s when I first started doing bodywork. The cans had been around a while, there would be purple liquid on top of the filler. When I got into fiberglass, I noticed the resin was the same color and smell. So when I really got back into fiberglass around 1996, I figured it out and started thinning the bondo with resin.
Yes, a great idea! Been doing it myself for over 20 years. One other use for the fiberglass guys, (I have been building fiberglass parts for decades) I always hated gelcoat as it is brittle and cracks. (and not cheap) I mix 1 part fiberglass resin with 2 parts regular Bondo brand (like you) to make a "thin-ish" brush on coating. (33% resin) I even use the fiberglass hardener, instead of the Bondo hardener. It sands easier, no pinholes, and is flexible so it doesn't crack like gelcoat. Plus, it's great at hiding the fiberglass matt/cloth texture. I also use it to bond on automotive parts, great adhesion and quick finishing.
Thanks for the comment !
Same here been doin it for years.
Nice trick... thanks
Here's another hack: NEVER mix Bondo on cardboard...it soaks up some of the resin which is the polar opposite of what you are trying to accomplish by adding more resin.
@@uncleronny6748 At this point it's just a copy/paste reply..... " what I'm going to let a mix dry on my mixing board Dooof..... the cardboard is for the video...... LOL
As a auto body tec and auto body painter, I can tell you we used this same technique with the fiberglass resin to make the bondo flow better with eliminating pin holes. Really works! We did it in the 1990s in our shop!
Passing on that old bodyman trick to the new guys, thanks for the comment !
I've worked with Bondo many times over the years, and I NEVER knew this. Outstanding tip. Thanks so much!
Passing on what an oldtimer showed me, now it's your turn to pass it on. Merry Christmas !
I was happy to learn about this information and I can mix and store the new creamy blend until I need it later. Then just add hardener . 1 person commented the fiberglass hardener could be used in this new resin blend.. said even better results. Anything more to note on procedures for this new mix ?
@@josephmurray3583 I've never used fiberglass hardener, if you try it let me know the results. Start with 5% added resin, the main goal is to eliminate pin holes or if the filler has been on the self along time adding resin will bring it back. Too much resin and ir will become more liquid and harder to sand.
@@guzzifabrication3448 and I saw the results you had when you mixed up the new blend.. I'll skip the sanding and let it lay break out the spray and call it a day . Time for a road trip and never look back. 1/8" of your mix front to back and it will look better than the shisters who muck out hit and run paint job's every week all across America. You have helped a bunch of people who have skills make up their minds to repair their own vehicles. Thanks again and Peace to you and your family. Have a great year.
@@josephmurray3583 That's awesome..... Thank you !
I took your advice and 30 years (off and on) of doing body work I've NEVER enjoyed working the mud! But now, I wanted to create extra dents to fix 😂... I'm so freaking glad I learned this before death comes knocking 😅
😆
Straight forward instructions, just great. Other KZheadrs should learn from this guy
Thank you Sir ! Best wishes in the new year !
@@guzzifabrication3448 you mentioned that resin is mixed in with the Bondo without the hardener. So then, the (blue as you used) hardener is used only when preparing the Bondo for spreading/ application ? (Just wanna ensure there is no other step where hardener is used a 2nd time). Thanks for a great video!
@@SS-pi2yi Great question, only add hardener when mixing body filler to catalyze before use, it is fine to add resin to the body filler and store.
Yes yes and yes , .... Welp what are u waiting for start sharing , may the video sharing hit, like , and subscribe button never ending no winners begin😎😂 This guy is genius...
I paint 2-4 cars a year for side work. This will make a world of difference for me. Thanks for taking the time to share
That's awesome ! I'm passing on what was shown to me, start w/10-15% too much and it makes the mix more liquid and harder to sand.
he could of just got to the point in like a 30 sec or short video ...fuckin 8 min to say something that could be said in 3 sec
@@user-fc1zs1wh9g OR I could have not made the video and given you an old time bodyman trick for free..... you act like I wronged you
@@guzzifabrication3448Pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain. 😅
@@guzzifabrication3448. Just remember Guzzi, 98% of haters are bitching about what they themselves can’t/don’t possess, in his case . Patience. This is an outstanding piece of advice and I much appreciate it ( and 3/4 of the other old head commenters are throwing out gold nuggets of wisdom also). I’ll be using this trick and adding fiberglass cloth to tune up a few areas on my 84 F150 4X4 long bed this spring ( before painting her light regatta blue)! Thank you again. I’ve subbed and look forward to checking out your library of vids. Stay safe Sir and keep up the great work!
I'm not an auto body guy, but I do use Bondo for woodworking projects that will be painted. This is a great tip that I will definitely use, thanks!
Awesome !
yep same here, professional cabinet and millwork, new construction finisher. Great information, even in this thread!
Rondo!! Sprayway customs (another channel) has been using that forever, but I will say, he’s never really explained how much to mix. Great video man! Thanks!
Glad to share, yeah, that's a really old time trick. Definitely don't want to put too much resin or it will reduce it way too much and be runny.
Yes sir this works and I also seen Sprayway use the "Rondo" on dash repairs. One questions though, when Sprayway mixes it he mixes the resin and bondo and then adds the appropriate amount of clear resin hardener for the resin and the appropriate body fill hardener with the body filler and mixes it all together. I'm guessing the hardeners and the same and they just add color pigment to the bondo so you can tell when it's been fully mixed when it has the same color?
Exactly. He been using rondo forever. Got me using it years ago. Good video tho.
You know. This is actually genius. I was asking the guy at the paint store what makes the expensive bondo so much smoother and easier to spread than the cheaper stuff and he said. “Idk I guess they just use more resin” and I dint really know what he meant but this must be it. I tried this today and it works perfect. My first batch I made slightly to thin but after that I got it spot on. So much easier to work. Appreciate this. You gained a sub.
That's awesome thank you !
I appreciate your tip. I’m actually a woodworker that uses Bondo to fill voids on surfaces that will later be painted. Your tip will save me a lot of sanding. Yep, Bondo works fine on wood - if, and only if, you’ll be painting the project.
Awesome ! Happy New Year !
Minwax makes a wood filler that is just tan bondo with white hardener. Once I realized what it was, I just started using regular bondo.
@@samadamms3432 Thanks for the info ! I didn't realise body filler was used so much in woodworking, I've had alot of comments on that.
Man it appears lots of people have been doing this same thing for years , so what rock was I under dammit!! Thanks it only took me 50 years to find out Lmao 🤣
It's an old time trick, hey you know know ! thanks for commenting !
You will find if you look at the active ingredients on most you can always come up with a workaround or an improvement. . For example frontline for dogs. One of the main ingredients in that is fipronil. You will find on some insecticides that kill ants and termites this very product in online stores that will sell to the public. Roughly looking at percentages there roughly the same on most bulk fipronil termite killers as it is in frontline. However you must determine the amount you need to apply to your pet. I told a friend of mine a farmer about this he uses it on all of his dogs and cats. Whatever brandy uses he says he gets about 400% more doing it this way saves loads of money
Great job. I so enjoy your videos. They’re so well done and I have picked up so much watching your videos. I’ve been a mechanic for over 50 years but I’ve never done bodywork and you’ve been a huge help. Thank you. 👍🏻
That makes me feel good ! I'm glad I could pass on techniques that you can use ! Thanks !!
I've been in search of a product like this for years and just so happened to come across your vid today. Better late than never. Thanks so much for sharing!
👍
What an excellent trick and tip, I am always grateful for gaining knowledge from someone else's knowledge that is proven to work. Thank you for the great tips.
This is a really old bodyman trick, as long as used correctly, hugh plus. Thanks for supporting the channel !
Big Tip for us DIY folks. TY!
Just passing on an oldtime trick, hope it helps
Awesome tip! And a small amount strongly thinned for self leveling? Genius!
It's a really old bodyman trick, just passing it on to you. Remember too much resin and the mix will be harder to sand.
The video was very informative, very well explained and extremely detailed. I will definitely talk to my body repair man before he touches my vehicle to make sure that he gets this mixture done as part of my repair contract.
Thank you Sir ! all the best in the new year !
- Haha... I don't even do ANY autobody repairs and I can see that this added resin application works AMAZING!
Hey that's awesome thank you!
You're absolutely right I've been doing this since 1983 and it works amazingly!
YesSir ! This is for all of the new guys, it's less expensive than adding Evercoat Plastik Honey
Excellent video. Thank you. I have a 30 year old Buick I'm gonna work on soon and this just made my life so much easier. Awesome.
Thanks, remember start 10-15%, if you want an even easier time working body filler watch the new video. Merry Christmas
That's the best way, I'm glad I saw this. I subscribed. My dad was paint & body man back when they used solder and lacquer paint
👍
LEAD wiping, lead filling, lead loading or lead slinging. Call it what you will, it’s just another way to finish off your repairs for a smooth enough finish so that you can prime and paint your car. Or in the case of Pete Forster’s ’33 Ford roadster, maybe not paint. With the near-invisible repairs that the lead creates, a coat of brush-on clear worked just fine for this traditional roadster. In recent times, lead wiping has been dismissed as simply an old-fashioned version of filling repairs. More modern polyester or plastic fillers - aka bog - have been around since the 60s and rapidly overtook lead as the fillers of choice as they’re easier and quicker to apply and arguably require much less skill. Each process has its own purpose and outcome.
@@Peter-nu6ix I learned how to work lead about 10 years ago, love it.....
@@guzzifabrication3448 👍
Yo😮 I wish I knew this trick a few years back. I had to fill holes in steel door frames 6 per door x 24 door frames. Because it was in an underground garage and it would be cold at times as this was a new build, the bondo would cure to fast or wouldn’t dry the way I would like it. I’ve done some body work before, not a pro by any means, and I’m a very handy guy but I would always fight with it even when it came to sanding. The fact that you made number 2 look like smooth glass is amazing!!! Game changer! I will always keep this information with me. Thank you brother 🤘🏻
Thanks ! remember if you add too much resin, it will be harder to sand
@@guzzifabrication3448 good to know! Thank you 🤙🏻
@@joemed6222 👍
I caught a custom builder show couple years ago, and he mentioned that bondo and fiberglass resin worked very well together, I was wondering why. Thanks for the explanation.
We used to get Kitty Hair which was chopped fiberglass and bondo mived together for nasty butcher bondo work
I did it last summer accidently and created a perfect back fender rocker panel which I think is now water proof and rust proof. The back of my rocker panel is made of bondo only. Any metal that was in this area was removed after I formed a bondo made panel over the old area. Works like a charm so far. I plan to use bondo mixed with resin to create molds for making auto body parts in the future. Great combos.
Great, but remember there's a recommended thickness for bodyfiller, And the rule is always do you meddle or correctly and then body filler sparingly? Hey thanks for leaving the comment and for watching you are appreciated
There is a type of foam that is much better than using bondo you use bondo to finish the foam off before you prime and paint it.I used to build mold for all different cars flares whale tails spoilers but the foam is how you start then carve the foam with cheese graters and sanders.
What is the foam called ?
@@nicholaslazares5530 foam?
@@nicholaslazares5530probably surfboard foam
Here’s a tip. I’ve been doing this for years as-well sometimes when it dries it may stay a little bit tacky and gum up your sand paper so I used wax and grease remover on a shop towel i give it a quick wipe and let it evaporate it removes all the stickiness and sands perfectly!!! 👌🏼💯
Thanks for the info 👍
Been doing that for years. Works great. If you heat up your bondo that thins it too. Just use less hardener
Hey thanks for watching and thanks for the comment
Your hardener should always be weighed out. Course I never did. But consistency in your batches is key.
Been there done that and it is a game changer and zero problems. As you stated horizontal vs vertical surfaces need different ratios.
Thanks for the comment ! much appreciated !
Makes sense, you don't want it running down the side of your project, and maybe you find yourself sanding off giant teardrops!
Wow! Been playing a bit over the years (40 yrs) with bondo and never saw this trick. It makes so much sense. I don’t hardly ever try body work, but when I have, yes this has been an issue. Next time, I will try your resin trick. Thanks again!
Awesome ! main aim is eliminate pinholes, start with 10% resin added. It will help
Evercote makes a really good glazing putty to fill in pinholes it is white and sands really nice and smoothly this is for professional quality work
@@ericjkent I use advantage glaze a lot less expensive, easy sanding, evercoat makes good products also
Crazy! I’m grateful to have stumbled upon this video . I enjoy doing body work and working with bondo. I also thoroughly enjoy working with fiberglass and resin but Im self taught and for that I rather good at it but with this trick I believe will take my skill to a whole new level with out a doubt. At the moment I’m working on refurbishing a boat I picked up for basically free . Has need a lot of resin work and I’ve already done a decent amount on the hull and plenty more to come. Awesome I came across this old school trick ! Thanks for the video and thanks everyone for the comments they have also taught me a things of two as well! I appreciate it guys !
Thanks !
Super helpful. I'm no pro at all, so every tip is appreciated!
You are exactly the person I made the video for ! Start 10% - 15% resin added it will elininate pinholes and make the filler easier to work with
@guzzifabrication3448 I will definitely try this and update you after the holidays. Thanks again!
This is why i live this channel. On a nother note. Seeing how you are so great at answering questions. I just bought a 1960 2 door sedan Bel Air. It is a factory 348 car. When I opened the trunk i found a date code correct Tri Power intake with no carbs. The car has the factory motor still in it but i am not able to read the engine pad by the heads. How can i tell if this was a factory Tri Power car. Also this car has been parked in a private junk yard for 50 plus years. The owner of the yard passed some years ago and the family knows nothing about the car. I am wanting to sell it and do not want to get taken on the price if this is truly a rare car. Thanks Adam. Keep up the great content I learn something every time you make a video. Also I have decided to replace the roof on the 63 Belair that you helped me with by answering my last question.
For the id try: jalopyjournal.com the H.A.M.B. Some very knowledgeable people on that site. They can point you in the right direction or answer the question directly. Hey, glad I can help thanks for your support. And following the channel ! glad the roof worked out
As always thanks for the direction. It's hard to find people that run business like yours that are willing to share the knowledge. They hold it like they have the answer to life. People like you help keep this hobby alive.

Nice tip. I’m going to use that. I know it’ll make the job easier. Thank you.
That's awesome ! definitely will reduce pinholes
After filling and before it hardens you can place wax paper over it to future smooth it out. Once it sets up, the wax paper will easily peel off.
Thanks for watching and the comment !
That is a very good idea since polyester resins cure best when they are in an anaerobic environment. I have often mixed a tiny amount of liquid paste wax in the final resin layer of fiberglass projects. The wax will float to the surface sealing the resin.
@chrisallen2005 Thanks ! Wow, I just learned something new. I'll have to try that next time I do some fiberglass work. Thank you for the tip !
Thank you Goomba, for this. You have saved Me so much agida on doing my own small repairs on my 2005 Saturn Vue. Salute'🍷

I already knew that stuff duh..... LoL 😂😂😂 awesome video. I was taught that years ago when you would get down to the bottom of the can it would be impossible to blend it so we would mix that in it presto..... Mo Bondo lol....

Thanks for the video. Going to be doing some body work soon and this is going to help. I don't understand why people have a need to put down any useful information instead of positive information.

That's awesome ! thank you, hope the trick helps
You should mix body filler on a non porus surface, cardboard absorb the resin making it thicker
If it wasn't just a sample for a youtube video.... I would.....
that is how i was taught also. people spread it over paint now too. i just dont.
Never put on top of paint or primer you can put on sanded fiberglass and ground steel. Some guys like to put it on top of epoxy primer then finish from there. @@rpkietur

Try it out, start with 5%, the main goal is to eliminate pin holes too much resin and it will be harder to sand. This is an old bodyman trick, just passing it on.
I have done this and I have also mixed bondo with 2 part clear epoxy resin, with and without the bondo hardener. Both seem to work pretty good. It's good for repairing rotten wood, etc.
I haven't tried w/o hardener, I'll have to check that one out. Thanks for the comment and watching !
Does it harden without the hardner? Does cream hardner work with epoxy resin?
@@duanethieme4186 You still have to mix the part A and the part B clear epoxy together as usual. The bondo hardener won't harden either the part A or part B epoxy as far as I know, at least without the bondo being in the mix. You would just need to experiment with your own materials to find what works best for you. If you are going to try to mix clear part A and B epoxy and bondo together, I would add the bondo hardener last. Then try it without the bondo hardener and see how it works for you. If I remember right, it took a few more days to fully harden without the bondo hardener in the mix.
@@NTSRFR4 Thank you for the information!

Great tip! I will definitely try this the next time I use Bondo.
Try it out, let me know, watch the next video that will help even more ! Happy New Year !
We did this in the early '70s working in dealership body shops. I see the cream hardener has come a long way, from pink to blue. And they added Spanish words to the front of the can. They're pretty good with that Bondo, I don't think they need any instructions. They know what the word Bondo means world wide. In TJ they don't pull dents, they fill them with newspaper and cover them with chicken wire and on goes the Bondo.
👍
I don't use body filler all that often, but the last time I opened the can, it was very thick, and when I mixed it, lots of bubbles. I would have suspected that you added acetone. Next time I'lm going to add some resin, what a difference. Thanks - Jim
I had comments of people using acetone or laquer thinner.... I wouldn't.... adding a little fiberglass resin to body filler cans that have set for awhile will work perfectly. Thanks Jim !
Acetone will ruin it@@guzzifabrication3448

Glad it was helpful!
As soon as I started watching this video i knew that you were going to use either fiberglass Resin or icing . Both are old tricks that we have used for or 20 years. And it works great. And this was a great Idea to show DIYers how to do it. Because I've see people do their own body work and then bring it for paint then wonder why it looked like crap. And they need to stop using that spot puddy .
Thank you. Yeah, this was intended for those new guys. Are the guys doing first time projects in the garage? To give him a helping hand not my trick. Been around for a really long time, just passing it on brother.
Yeah I'm an old guy now and did glass work for ages. That's what bondo is! Resin and talc mixed!!
Ahh the nitro-stan, Brother when I got into this business in the 90s. The Body Shop ( collision )normal was finished out in 80 coat nitro stand before you go home and ship to paint.... talk about sucking up in about 3-4 after paint..... That's why I moved into frame/ structural repair and metal fabrication. I wasn't gonna do that to people...
Yes that red spot putty is junk i would never ever use that shit
@@ericjkent Agreed nitro stand is one hundred percent bad....
As a wood patternmaker we used a lot of bondo for blends and fillets. Fifty years ago I was mixing polyester resin in the bondo for some applications.
Yep, I never realized how much woodworkers use bodyfiller until I made this video. Thanks for the comment !
@@guzzifabrication3448 I used bondo to help create the right hand side of a Kenworth trucks fenders. Used it to make templates then squeezed the shape and filled in-between. We did not use bondo brand though.

Thanks for supporting the channel !
Thank you for the helpful tip
Yes Sir !
An old timer told me this years ago.I had forgotten about it.thanks for the video
Yeah that's exactly where I got the trick, in the 90's when I was starting out, just passing it on.
Great tip to know AND IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER to apply with less sanding due to the smoothness. Thank you appreicate it.
Thanks ! remember the more resin you add yes the more liquid the mix will be, too much resin added and the filler will be harder to sand. If you are using it on a wood working application it's not such an issue.
Wow this is an amazing tip, thanks. Filler was always frustrating to work with because of the pinholes, plus this would be less to sand and stronger because of the resin.
Thanks for watching just passing on something I learned. Maybe make your life easier. Hey remember to like and share
nNot stronger, the same all good

Old bodyman trick passing it on to you Sir!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing it!
It's a really old time bodyman trick, of course it has it's do's and do's like everything else, but try it start with 5%, the main goal is eliminating pin holes and making the mix alittle more creamy and easier to spread. Add too much and it will be very liquid and harder to sand. Just passing it on.
In my old shop there was an aqua can from Evercoat called Honey we would add to Z Grip body filler and it worked great.
I've seen that it works great, the fiber glass resin is a little less expensive. Thanks for watching
I used to do this It definitely helps make the filler creamy and lays down smooth, but it becomes a lot harder to sand with the higher amount of resin added
My main goal is elimimating pinholes, add 10 to 20% more than that and yeah it makes sanding harder. Thanks for the comment
@@guzzifabrication3448I had to add it to the filler I was provided because it was cheap junk and once I would sand it, it would end up like the moon all full of craters. I added resin and it helped that problem but created a new one. But what works for the individual is up to them
Plus sanding with a machine, just go down a grit to start?
@@garychandler4296 Start with a cheese grater, that's the next video. Thanks for all of the comments
Agreed, it does make it harder to sand. I've wondered if mixing in some polyester spray filler might be the go.
thanks for this excellent tip - I'm in the process of doing some body work and this will help greatly
That's a really old time body man trick that I'm just passing on that. Seems like it's been forgotten but works well if you use it correctly. Good luck on your project!
That is a great trick! Thanks. I just used Bondo for a stucco wall repair and it made a perfect match to the deep rough texture just by wiping with the applicator as it hardened, the exact opposite of glossy smooth you are getting. I'm going to use your trick today to fill in wood window molding and a concrete door threshold where I scraped off peeling paint bubbles to smooth it out, rather than spackle.
Thanks, it's a really old body.Man trick definitely has its uses, Remember the more resume you add the more liquid it becomes, it will also make it harder to sand. Hey let me know how you liked it !
This looks identical to upol dolphin glaze. Brilliant bit of gear, and now I don’t have to buy it! How have I not heard of this before, I’ll never know 😂
👍
Ive seen gallon cans of filler that have sat awhile where the resin has separated and sitting on top. Looks just like that fiberglass resin. Same stuff Id guess. Great tip Ill try it👍
Yes Sir !
This is a great tip, i normally don't do body work but if i have to rhis will make things work faster
You have an extra trick in your tool box ! start with 5% the main goal is to eliminate pin holes.
Very Impressive, just working on my Daughters car, thank you
Thanks if this method is used correctly it's a huge plus and alternative to buying very expensive body fillers
@@guzzifabrication3448 again thnaks
Man. I'm so glad this video came up in my YT feed. I've been using bondo for over 30 years and could never figure out how the pro restorers got it on cars so smoothly and evenly. I was convinced they had some special high-end formula withheld from the general public. This is a real gem. I appreciate you sharing it. Merry Christmas! (New subscriber ;) )
Thanks @BobSmith-vq3uo ! just passing on what an oldtimer showed me. Merry Christmas to you and family. Hope it helps
Pros do use high-end fillers. Not Bondo brand. There is a difference
@@jimk4267 If you would have paid attention at the beginning of the video..... I said it's for beginners working on their projects at home..... I'll make it easier for you that means Non- Professionals..... who will recognize Bondo brand more readily than any other brand of filler.... LOL. Get with the program jimmy....
