[QUOTE="Crzy, post: 5387916, member: 567648"] you might of mixed it with too much ardener seeing as you had to buy so many tubes of it. ive used the bondo brand, it isnt the best but it does stick decently well. ive had it adhere to abs plastics in the car very well did u try scuffing up the surface and preping it? try to mix it with less hardner and use a heat lamp to cure it for the first layer i by no means am an expert at glassing but those are somethings i would of tryed also i liek to use bondo spreaders when spreading resing, i first spread a thin layer on the surfacee im adhering to, then wet the matt off of what will be glassed (on a bench) then i place it where it needs to be and use some more resin if it is not adhering well. i never use brushes when doing glassing just bondo spreaders, those plastic ones and then clean them up with laqeur thinner so i can re use them. never had a problem or many air bubles doing it this way. way my dad tought me and he did glass work in the autobody industry for a good amount of time, doing it that way has yeilded me good result [/QUOTE]
