Body fillers

[Namrups]

I have read enough posts that tell me that Slick Sand is the preferred body filler. I have a situation that I want to throw out for the experts.

I ordered a quart of HSRF from an online vender and received a quart of Bondo! I complained and got my money refunded but they never requested I send the Bondo back so I have a new unopened quart of Bondo on my shelf that was priced right! :rolleyes:

What are the pro's and con's of using this? Don't hold back. I really want to know from those that use this stuff day in and day out. The zero price point is the driver behind this question.

It’s worth exactly what you paid and not a penny more. In other words toss it or use it as a doorstop but please don’t put it on the car. Body filler of choice is Evercoat Rage Gold.

Slick Sand is NOT a body filler; it’s a polyester high build primer that is used after body filler and shaping is completed. No offense Scott but the nature if the question leads me to believe that you need to do more research before you start doing anything to the body. I’ll be happy to help out if you would like to give me a call:)

Jeff, When the time comes I will be in contact with you!! I'll give the Bondo to my neighbor. He doesn't care.

Bondo is mildly useful in some woodworking situations.

But if you don't know where, you likely do not have a need for it.

Agree with Rob. I use it filling rot on trim areas that can't be replaced. Disagree with Jeff in that it makes a lousy door stop too. (15 years and I finally get to disagree with Jeff :) ).

I will admit that when it comes to body work I have a lot to learn. Getting something for free forces the question if it's usable or not. The learning has to start somewhere. Much thanks to Jeff and his offer to help school me. I will take you up on your offer.
