How To Mix Bondo and Body Filler Talk 101 Blog: http://www.learnautobodyandpaint.com/blog/how-to-mix-bondo-and-body-filler-talk/ How To Mix Bondo This is how to mix bondo. First, you need a bondo board. Get started with a piece of heavy gauge sheet metal or (what my father used and taught me to use) a piece of glass that's guled to a wooden board of some kind to mix on. This way it won't crack or chip if you bang it up a little. So go ahead and make yourself a body filler mixing board that you can use for years to come. This is recommended for a fast cleanup and you'll end up using that board for years to some. A nice razor blade cleaning when you're done and your bondo board will be good as new. If you're a beginner I recommend by starting with small amounts of filler so it dosen't harden before you're finished shaping it on the panel. You can always mix more if needed. Important Reminders: After you open up your bondo can for the first time, mix it. See how I do this in the video above. Also, don't forget to mix your hardener while it's in the tube. How Much Hardener To Add To Your Body Filler/ Bondo You need to be sure to add the right amount of hardener to your bondo; adding more than enough will cause your body filler to dry faster and give you less time for shaping and laying your filler on your panels. By adding not enough hardener; you'll end up with a pale looking filler color that will take hours to dry and sometimes it won't even dry at all. You'll end up scraping it all off just to do it again. Like my Father always said "for every golf ball size of body filler, put about 5-8 drops of hardener in it". Go ahead. Test that out! Once you get the technique down, you'll be able to add in lines of hardener like I do in my videos.
