Hi all, I'm new to this forum so don't flame me for the post, this is just a curiousity killed the cat type post.

Okay so i've been working doing merchandising for Home Depot for a while now and I've noticed that for Drywall filling contractors use some thing called spackel. this stuff works just like bondo. what i was wondering is could this be used as a filler on fiberglass boxes instead of bondo? is this material just to weak to handle the vibrations. has anyone tried to use this instead of a body filler like bondo or rage?

I'm actually curious about this as well, I haven't used spackel in forever so I don't remeber exactly how it was compared to body filler. I can't imagine it would be that different though...

spackle will crack

Spackle will not work anything like body filler. If it would do the job, it's what everyone would use for cost and ease of use issues.
