You can also turn out the lights, and in the dark, move a single drop light up, down, and around and watch the shadows do their thing. I call it the "drop-light-trick." Works on drywall too. That is how I sculpted the 3-gallon Bondo quarter panel on the 73' Barracuda I once had. I used the "rocker-trick" too with a yardstick! Just like you, Billy! Yeah, you know all the old tricks! On a side note, can you show us your official Bondo pants, Billy? I had a pair of Bondo pants when I Bondo'd the Barracuda. I would clean my spreader on them. They got so covered in Bondo they could stand up on their own! They were the coolest thing until they broke in two. Ha ha!

What sander is that?

say i need to cover a welded seam and use kitty hair. Would the right procudure be scratch 36 or 80 then apply and level kitty hair,Epoxy car, then poly filler skim coat,high build primer? This is for the sail panel welds on a novas qtr panel. Thanks man.

[@OldBondoBilly]

I recommend Upol Fibral Lite over welds, and any area where the filler will exceed 1/8 inch. Putting filler over the entire surface is a waste of labor and materials. Grind with 36 for filler on bare metal, 80 if your putting filler over primer or paint. Spray 2K self etching primer over bare metal, then epoxy over that if it has to be outside

[@Supanova70]

@@OldBondoBilly so i have some small areas on rockers that has epoxy on it. Can i fill tiny holes with kitty hair over epoxy within window or it has to be over metal surface? will it stick to epoxy like bondo does?

[@boidashaun]

I would never cheese grade Bondo. If it's a big dent. Slap down some duraglas. Hit that up with 80 grit on a da. Before completely hardens to a rock then put my Bondo on. Depending on how hot it is that day. Maybe hit the bondo up with 150 before it completely cures 100%.. but you have to be careful not to do it too early. Like he said you would break the seal and It could start peeling off which is something you don't want. Then you got to scrape it all off and start over This guy knows what he's talking about. For real. And I bet if you asked him All the knowledge in the world can't make you a great painter It's. the experience. Time blood sweat & tears And most of all fucking something up. That's the fastest way to learn.. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

If it is rusty, I would spray 2K self etching primer on it then smear some dolphin glaze in any real big pits, but smaller pits aren’t gonna show through a vinyl top

@OldBondoBilly Thank you for your time. After I stripped the roof down to bare metal and neutralize the rust I was going to POR15 the roof before I do the vinyl. I know a lot of people don't like it but also I think it's something that takes experience. One lack of detail can determine the whole outcome of the product. Once you get the hang of it and use it properly, you could drop that stuff down there with the titanic and it would be fine lol
