In this video I show you the proper way to prepare the surface, mix and apply auto body filler (Bondo) to wood. This is the same process I used for over twenty years in my family's body shop. My job back in the early 50's was cleaning the shop after school and I remember clearly the day our jobber introduced us to our first gallon of plastic. The older guys in the shop didn't want to be the Ginny pigs so they made me try it first. Bear in mind that we were still using a pick and file plus lead as the filler. For those of you old enough to remember, to a golf ball size glob of plastic, you would add about five or six drops of hardener (benzoyl peroxide).

You're a very good presenter. I found many of the little tips throughout quite helpful.

Finally somebody who does a great explanation plus some cool tricks. I’ve worked with residence for years but never use Bondo. Getting the mix ratio is right is where I was concerned and you gave me a good point to work with. Thanks again for some decent explanations.

Thanks Ron. My dad is a retired body and fender man, who brought all his tools home. Having access to the various graters, files, putty knives, etc., I just needed some bondo (picked up a gallon at Home Depot), and some basic techniques, which your clip fully covers. I appreciate it.

Thank you, this was really helpful and gave me the confidence to do it! Wish I had all those tools though, I don't have any!

Great video. I'll admit that I was using bondo all wrong for 20 years. (In my defense, I've used it very rarely, but probably because it was such a pain because I was doing it all wrong.)

Thanks for your video. I can add that acetone works great for final cleaning of the tools. Also when mixing little amounts of the putty like few grams (and I do it quite often), an electronic scale with 0,01g resolution is a great help in dosing the right amount of the hardener.

This is great Ron. I have an old table to resurface and paint, and your video was a big help.
