Body repair work can feel like a bit of a drag. But with Bondo Glass-Reinforced Body Filler (retailing for $20) repairing rust-out holes, dents, and puncture wounds is fast and effective. This consumable tool is a component of the 3M Body Repair System. The fiberglass strands in the solution provide a finished layer that’s twice as strong as standard body filler compounds. Moreover, the solution dries rapidly, allowing for sanding just 30 minutes after application. This means that a repair to a car door or hood can take place in a day or weekend rather than stretching out over multiple days or weekend work sessions. The solution is compatible with most paint finishes and comes with Bondo’s cream hardener for an excellent finished surface regardless of the material.
This glass-reinforced body filler can be applied to wood, concrete, fiberglass, and masonry, in addition to the metal surfaces of a car body. It’s also waterproof, making it suitable for boat hull repairs or car refurbishment in particularly wet environments — like Seattle or Florida. The solution ships as a 41-ounce container and can only be delivered within the 48 contiguous states through standard ground shipping routes.
