Reply to "Using JB Weld for body filler"

I used Bondo to re-contour a GG1 body a couple decades ago.  It is still absolutely beautiful.  I did prime and sand, as suggested above.  I think JB Kwik is the right stuff for a small build up.

When I was a kid, I thought body work absolutely had to be hammer weld and lead.  Later on I got lazy, and fixed some stuff on my Mustangs with Bondo.  That was in the 1970s.  The Bondo is still there, no cracks.  

I also used it in 1966 on my aircraft cowl, which was not perfectly smooth, since I hammered th sheet metal into concrete form blocks.  The cowl is a little worn from 4000 hours of flying, but the contours are still crack- free.
