| 1239837 | 2011-10-25 14:22:00 | Just wondering if you have a plastic auto-body filler that is called Bondo or it's equivalent? It's a two-part filler and catalyst that is used here in the US and a guy I know in Aussieland can't find the same product . I use it in building solid body bass guitars when the router rips a little wood out or I get sloppy and need to patch something under the final color coat . . wikipedia . org/wiki/Bondo_%28putty%29" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org |

| 1239838 | 2011-10-25 18:30:00 | I used to use a product called Bondofill to patch dings on my first cars - don't know whether it's still available. It was a khaki green colour. I believe there is also a builder's product that does a similar job - it hardens to a pink colour.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1239839 | 2011-10-25 18:54:00 | PINK is it. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1239840 | 2011-10-25 18:57:00 | Looks like it's available here www.formula.co.nz | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1239841 | 2011-10-25 19:13:00 | Don't seem to be common in our stores, where I'm sure was around in the 70's (may have been Bondofill as noted above). Plenty of 3M products at super cheap Auto. (www.supercheapauto.co.nz) I use Turbo filler, sometimes with NewTech fiber-metal filler, and then putty filler, and sealer if required. Don't think we have that Por 15 which I think is common in the US. 3319 |

| 1239842 | 2011-10-25 19:54:00 | Plastic Bond or bog it was called in the 70s. Shifty car dealers use to use it to fill up rust patches in cars and paint over it to make it look like new. You could detect this by going over the car with a magnet or look at the car at certain angles and you could see the imperfection. Yes it was a 2 part mix the stuff itself came in a tin and you had a small plastic bottle of another liquid which you mixed with it to activate it. :) |

| 1239843 | 2011-10-25 19:56:00 | Yeah - I got booted out of a car yard in Taranaki Street years ago because I got caught running a magnet over the side panels of the cars on display :) | Zippity (58) | ||

| 1239846 | 2011-10-26 03:41:00 | It's a two-part filler and catalyst that is used here in the US and a guy I know in Aussieland can't find the same product . Asking by US brand name is likely to be unproductive, but it is a universal product so he'll have no trouble finding it under various names . It is also known as 'panelbeaters' bog' or 'two inch putty'! Just tell him to go to Bunnings or any hardware chainstore and ask for builders' bog . It is great stuff; I have cedar window frames and french doors here that have litres of bog in them . I repaired them 20 years ago and they are still good as gold . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
