perfecly smooth

every little pit will show up in your paint.

Or just load it with primer to fill in the voids

so should i do another layer of bondo or just goto the primer? when and doing the bondo do i just use another with a flat edge to spread it or?

use a flat edge, like a putty knife.

That way you know that those pits are filled.

A small layer of bondo should do this, no hack jobs stuff o.k

ok.. and is a putty knife some kinda kitchen knife or what is that?

no.

use a metal edge, not a plastic one.

if you use a little it shouldnt get it to hot.

Search google for putty knife

oh ok.. ya thats what im using.. but its a big one.. i pour some bondo into a little container.. then add hardner.. mix.. then with a pen i dab some filler onto the piece.. and with the

putty knife i spread it around.. that the right way?

yep, but a smaller one would be eaiser to fill in the pits.

Your supposed to mix on a mixing board, keeps it nice and easy to work with

A plastic spreader is the best thing to use for applying filler. As for whomever said they pay $65-70 for Rage Gold, I feel very sorry for you. My local paint supply store has it for $30. Also, as far as priming is concerned, I myself am particular to polyester filler primers. Love them.

Ah, but easily found if you know where to look. Any auto parts store will have them.

Likewise on my end. And I'm the idiot who doesn't wear a mask when sanding either. Gotta love that bondo-encrusted snot!
