Bondo All-Purpose Putty & Cream Hardener, 1 Quart

I like the price, got it fairly quickly, was easy to work with, sets up quickly, easy to sand. Can be stained. I have a very large planter that broke during the winter. After I glued it together a few small pieces were missing and there was a 1/4 - 1/2" crack that ran the height of the pot (28"). filled the crack and missing pieces with Bondo. Sanded the bondo and then stained it with wood stain. Repair looks great. Wife is happy!

I bought this to use on a laminate desk that had some damaged spots. We could not find directions on the can itself, so we googled how to mix it correctly. Not difficult to do. I mixed a small batch and got to work filling in the damaged spots. It does start to harden fairly quickly so I made sure not to mix too much at a time. I probably did 4 or 5 small batches and got everything filled that I needed to. It was dry enough to sand that same day but I didn't have time to do it. So several days later, I got our orbital sander out and started with 80 grit to take off the high spots. Then I moved to 220 grit to smooth everything out. It did a nice job. I will be priming the pieces soon and then painting everything, but the surfaces that I repaired are so smooth. I'm sure I'll be using Bondo on other projects now that I've had the chance to work with it.
