Default Ever used BONDO-GLASS

I have smeared many gallons of BONDO, but I have never tried fiberglass. I seen a quart of BONDO-GLASS and was curious if anyone here has used it. If it is an acceptable substitute for fiberglass, how is the durability and ease of use compared to BONDO. :smash:

On my project car I used fiberglass to join most seems and fill holes and then used VetteBond (same stuff probably) to smooth out some areas and even to join the inner fenderwells to the underside of the car where you can't see it. Eacy to work with and it's strong stuff.

I am looking to use it on the seam of the front fenders. The entire seam is showing. Do you think it will work well. :confused:

Don't Worry. I have used products similar to Bondo-Glass and they work fine. The thing is if it is a large hole, you need to use fiberglass mat and resin. If you are just filling in over a seam, it will work fine, as long as it has the fiberglass strands mixed in. :cheers:

I used it with glass mat to repair my spare tire tub. The stuff dried fast and seems very strong. It is a totally different product and is nothing like the old Bondo I slathered on my '57 Ford in 1976. That stuff could fill craters- unfortunately it fell out as as easily as it went in. :jester
