DIY How To Bondo Auto Body Repair (Tips and Tricks) To Prevent Common Problems with Body Filler

Auto body filler aka Bondo, polyester body filler, plastic filler, mud, etc. is used to fill small imperfections for auto body repair. A few common problems when using #bondo is over-grinding the metal on thin metals which thins and weakens the metal. Another problem is, well making a mess by getting it in cracks, gaps, holes, and places you don't need body filler. This takes a lot of time during the shading process to sand and clean the filler out of those areas. Body Filler - amzn.to/3tL52IG

Great tips, Man! Masking tape to protect areas you don't want covered 👍, mixing the cream hardener before use to homogenize it 👍, removing the tape and filler drippings before it's fully cured 👍 For sanding I use a random orbit sander and to help find high and low spots I use a strong flashlight lighting the surface from a slant 😉

Don't know where you went to school, but I did learn this in school!! Autobody and auto mechanics were required courses (for boys) in our school!! Of course, this was back in the late 70's and early 80's. Sorry everyone want's to be communists today, and have everything handed to them on a free silver platter. Kids don't learn shit today, and don't have the braincells god gave a goose!!!!

[@LDaniel_BDuce]

@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty Well, we learn this stuff if we go to VoTech. I’m personally not going because I’m focusing on the college path so I can learn more on stuff that will help me in agriculture. But even then, I’m still doing auto-body and mechanics. I’m learning a lot of the auto body stuff from KZbin, and most of the mechanics from my dad. Right now I’m working on our old farm truck, a 1965 Chevy C60 that’s sat for about 55 years doing nothing. The deal that my dad gave me is if I get any of our old trucks running I get to keep them. Currently I have 4 in line, the C60, a 1983 Chevy Silverado C10, 1977 F100 or 150 I haven’t looked at it yet, and a 1973 F600 It’s really fun to do and really handy when you’re car breaks down and need to know what’s wrong. Definitely going to be something I’m going to do if I have kids. Give them an old truck that doesn’t run and they get to keep it if they get it running.

Tips! fiberglass resin thins out bondo so you can make it as thin as you want. Never lay up bondo thicker then 1/16" thick at a time or you will get air pockets in it and the paint will blister after a while. I use clean bondo dust and rub it on the final coat and this helps so your sand paper doesn't clog up so much. Just try to rub the dust on lightly while the bondo is still tacky.

[@KarKraftsman]

This is a tip for disaster, the fiberglass resin does not cure correctly and thats why you cant sand it without rubbing dust on it. If you need to thin plastic filler get the honey thinner made to do this.

[@SuperAvenger888]

Lovely Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Tarbbatigan Cars Rehabilitation Tip (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learning how to repair your car the easy way minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan got astronomical success with it.

[@HeikoMueller-w8k]

I enjoyed watching your video…nothing really new to me except for your 2-part glazing putty…but well presented. My only question is, what’s with all the hand sanding? I would opt for a 2” or 3” DA sander or an in-line sander to get the bulk of the material off, then go for a 3 x 7 manual pad sander with vacuum dust collection. The dust collection is not necessary if you’re working outside or in an open shop, but it does reveal any little pin holes that could show up later in the paint. I always use compressed air to blow off the area, even if I am using a vacuum. Keep up the good work educating people about autobody repair!! Thank you 😎

[@jerrybushman]

With the blocking technique showed, you may as have just used a DA. Only when you have no other choice should you use a sanding block sideways. The block should move in line with it's length. With this being edge damage and it only being twice as wide as the block, the sanding motions should have been in a 'X' pattern. Blocking from lower left to upper right and vice versa. You will find the end result will come faster and more true. What's more, in my 33 years in the business I have never needed a guide coat. If I can't feel it, you can't see it. Blocking primer you can see the color and texture changes that really take the place of guide coat.

[@latouselatrec]

jerry bushman well a guide coat is good for newbies, it teaches them the feel

[@doctorwellsautobodyrepairs3952]

Hey you no alot thanks fuh d info

jerry bushman im a noob and the only guide coat i use is the primer i lay down to prevent​ rust over night.. use your hands not your eyes.. your sense of touch is better than you eye sight..

Hi Donnie. Been following you a couple years now. You do great work. One thing I struggle with is doing filler in compound, tight curves like in bumpers especially under the tail lights where it curves. Also, Last generation Honda accords have 2 hard body lines in a compound curve. I had a job that took 3 hours to do the filler work because of that. Any tips/videos on that?

[@Supercarlsunday]

Nice video, i generally knock the filler down with 80 grit then 120 then 240 ready for primer. Sometimes i just go strait in with a 120 then 240.. I just think the finer you get it before primer the less likely to get any scratches show through later on. Each to our own.

[@BadfighterPilot]

Definitely read the tech sheet of your product, not enough hardener and it will never dry

[@OroWarandStimp]

Israel Kelley exactly. I almost never just use bondo as filler. I always mix it with glaze to stop the pinholes.

[@Harlanmote]

This is why you should take a magnet to the used car lot.

[@wadebarnett2542]

I'd suggest a weak magnet be taken. If it's real steel, the weak magnet will hold on nicely. If it's Bondo, it won't stick. A very thin coat of Bondo over bent steel could fool the magnet.

[@noampitlik2332]

Wouldn't the edge by the door be apt to chip with that filler on it?

starting off with 36 grit sandpaper!! You're a bad man!! Most wouldve sanded all their bondo off!

[@ruthless_auto]

I like to lay a nice even coat making sure get it as uniform as possible and laying it on a bit on the thick side then before it’s completely hard I add filler right over my lows before I even begin any blocking or sanding. After that I DA with 40 grit to really get it knocked down then block with 80. Then I go from there

[@keystastanciel6641]

My holes are too big on my truck to do it like this I used Bondo patches but it didn't work good doing that. I should of used adhesive fiberglass patches. Am almost ready to start sanding my truck soon though wanna see how it will turn out. But if I have to do it all over again gonna use the fiberglass adhesive patches to put over the holes then use some more body filler. This is the first time I did try to fix holes on a truck from rust and my truck is 14 years old and had built a lot of rust over the years.

Thanks for the great video...but...THE best "trick" to using body filler...is not to use it at all, or to such a minimum amount that it is little more than pinhole filler, but that too can be remedies with body lead and correct metalwork.

[@nccollegeboy23]

Why do you sand down to bare metal before you apply bondo? I never do that and I dont have and problems with my body work.

Because that's the old school method when old fillers wouldn't stick to paint. Modern fillers are fine onto paint. :)

[@123ElTri]

@@dannyayoch Damn, I can't imagine bodywork if modern filler wouldn't stick to paint. Personally, I work my way into the damage from the paint to the putty to insure that my work is level and feathered out.... so yeah.... filler from back then would definitely be a pain in the ass to work with.

whats the different between body filler & putty ??

[@douglasgallardojr4759]

The filler is thicker and doesn't spread as easily. The putty is thin and spreads very easily. When spreading filler you're likely to get little holes or sharp edges and a rough texture because it's so thick. The putty fills in those imperfections.

R&I the door after the fit you want. While fender is bolted to car fix the dents usually 1 coat filler sand with 80 DA any over sand with 180, skim coat with putty, block with 180, soft pad DA WITH 320, prime. Block primer with 320 then soft DA 320 real quick, send to paint. Painters happy everybody’s happy. 2hr. Fix easy RO says 6.

Putty will fill any pin holes you may have. However, it is not necessary to use it. It makes a good final coat to block out, but it is more expensive that body filler.

I am not sure if Bondo brand make this type of putty. You may have to go to a parts store that sells paint supplies. They may keep it behind the shelf and you may need to ask for it.

Can you post a tips tricks for door seam sealer to get factory beed seams

[@mattnsac]

I know you are flat rating, but for guys that are learning, they could forego a lot of filler for 20 minutes worth of hammer and dolly work. Its amazing what some dyechem or a big sharpie marker, a block with some 220 and hammer work will do to ever a nasty dent.

[@FruddyG]

Spread your knowledge dude

[@beckyb8929]

what are you even talking about Matt B - explain yourself!

[@mattnsac]

Using dyechem layout fluid or a sharpie is guide coat for bare metal dents. You cover the entire damaged area with it and the go over it with a sanding block. The high areas will get sanded first so youll remove the ink and will be bright metal while the low spots will stay covered in ink. You hammer and dolly the dark spots and tap down any high spots. Do it a few times and that dent will be quite a bit flatter. I use aerosol Dyechem and spray it on like paint. Nice thing is that you can clean it off with acetone and add more as you go.

[@FruddyG]

Matt B oh your first post made it seen like you had something new up your sleeve kek

[@mattnsac]

It may be new to someone that has never done bodywork or thinks its acceptable to use body filler in thicknesses of over 1/4" (and I dont think its acceptable over 1/8"). Filler is absolutely necessary to get a straight panel, but with a bit of work, you can use quite a bit less for the repair which includes the repair in this video. I dont do commercial body work, everything I do is for custom cars and if I cant fill the dent with a few coats of Featherfill or similar material, it probably needs to be worked some more.

Normally I would just cut and replace the sheet metal, but I have just one spot too close to the windshield for me to allow the heat of a welder to get near. So I’m trying to choose between fiberglass or bondo.

*CAR ADDICT I have a question: For example when a vehicle/car has been rear ended by a tractor trailor truck (hitting one side of the rear bumper) cracking the bumper / ripping off one of the tail lights aka brake lights and smashing the rear quarter panel...... QUESTION ONE (1) What are other possible issues that are likely to have occurred to the vehicle that the naked eye and non mechanics/non body shop specialists would not be aware of* *could yah list the guestimate price for each repair including the obvious repair/replacement of the bumper, tail light and rear quarter panel*

[@CarAddictGarage]

There is really no way to determine that. Every make and model has different parts cost and labor time, which can be a huge difference. I would recommend taking it to a repair shop to get an estimate.

Im new at this bondo and body work thing but please explain why you wouldnt just bondo it sand with 180 call it a day? And whats the tape on the edge for wouldnt you still have to sand ur edges? Cause it still even looks like tape didnt help any on edge..

[@CarAddictGarage]

It will take longer to start out with 180 grit with body filler. If body filler gets in the cracks and indentions, it take a long time to sand out. Masking edges will be faster. I hope this helps answer your questions.
