okay sine i have no subs, no amps, an unfinshed amprack, and some unfinished boxes....
im finally giong to paint my sail panels. how do i properly mix the bondo and hardener? first of all.. its kind of chunky-ish if i remeber correctly in the can, and it was a pain to mix last time... i always thought bondo was smoother to mix.. but anyway, i need some help. last time it didn't dry.
edit: temp today will be like... 60s-70s i think.
edit2: if you have any ideas for fiberglass projects for my saturn, chirp in!

if its chunky throw it out....it may have sat for too long or may have gotten some hardner in it.......i doubt it got hardner in it because the whole can may have hard3entd if it did but itis no good regardless if its chuncky

dont use bondo brand either its crap. the best bondo company out there is evercoat. you probaly just need some glaze. are you filling screw holes?

... i plan on covering the sail panel to smooth it out.. there are a few scratches and such on it that i don't want to paint directly on.

if the scratches arnt bad just use a primer cause your going to have to primer it anyways cause mdf is a sponge and youll use way way too much paint if you dont seal it with primer. also bondo is a sponge too so you have to prime over that.

its not MDF... its a plastic panel from my car. but i'll just throw my primer over it i guess.

bondo wont stick to plastic unless you have a speical kind so id just use primer but make sure its preped right. and make sure you wear rubber gloves when you fiberglass.
