ehh no point wastein money on bondo spreaders, there just going to get thrown away when your done any way. i like to use old plastic welding helmet lenses or cardboard from a old cereal box. i always find its to much of a pain to try and clean up half cured bondo off of things. a word of advice it i could, mix your bondo a little "hot" (meaning use a bit more hardner then the can says to use) and if you have layed it on thick then try and "cut it green" start sanding with 80grit while the bondo is still a bit soft. this will cut down on the time it takes to knock down the excess so you can start with the fine stuff. and remember always to keep the block or DA moving, dont stop in one spot and concentrate, you will end up with a wavy finish.

you probably know all this crap already lol the taco is gonna look sick when you get r done.

Updates from the iPhone: actually 86, no I didn't know that, thanks for the tips..

The passenger side where gappy was is ready for bondo, about to start with the rest of the welds on the clean drivers side.

Oh and ITS FREAKING HOT OUT HERE.
But note, I found the sweet spot in the welder. A and wire speed 1.75. I really don't know how I was using B 2 last week


More to come later..

It depends on the angle, Sometimes they look big, sometimes they looks small..
EDIT, That sounds weird..
