General Overview
|
|
Often called "One Part Bondo" this product essentially serves the same purpose as regular Bondo, but with no need to mix a hardener prior to use.
It is very much like plastic when dry.
It is much stronger than most other fillers such as Wood Filler.
It is called body filler because it is the standard for fixing car body damage when it is too expensive to replace the part.
