How do you repair an auto body with fiberglass and Bondo?

Answer by  hypertech (690)

Sand the entire surface around the problem area to bare metal, then apply bondo to the surface. Once the bondo dries in a few hours, sand it until you are happy with a smooth surface and apply more bondo if needed. Clean dust with paint prep then prime and paint.

If you are interested in learning more then you should buy a bodywork manual. Fiberglass is used to create patches over a large area that has access to the back. Bond is used to fill in slight imperfections and small dents. It should never be thicker than a 1/8". Several thin coats are typically applied to create a smooth surface.
