skittlesRgood Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 so Kimo asked me to make him some simple speaker baffles. all he asked was that he wanted them recessed. so i wanted to try out some new tools and make use of this gallon of bondo i never used. i gotta say, bondo SUCKS! only goes on smooth for a min or two then starts to harden and that leaves you with tons of little holes. but this was my 1st time so it could have just been me. anyways... pics were taken from my phone so they are not the best. but oh well. you guys know me and my clamps. at this point i gave up on the idea of painting and went to my original idea of wrapping them. now once i got some paint on them i saw some flaws disappear and i wondered what would happen if i kept working on it. this was a learning experience after all. sanded and painted two more times... not looking too bad at all. obviously i would have done things differently if i knew i was going to end up with a finished paint job. one or two more coats and i think this is going to look pretty good for a 1st timer and something i chalked up to be a failure. what do you guys think so far?

thehoe92 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 don't use as much hardener and old bondo hardens fast and acts the way you described also what you use to spread the bondo makes a big difference I'm no pro but it was just a couple things I picked up from doing my dash for the iPad over and over but it looks really nice!!

Alex K Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 yupyup too much hardner and it does that. Too little and it takes forever. I've had a few perfect mixtures before. Where it's somewhat runny, and somewhat hard but yet it's easy to manipulate and work with. Just takes practice. Looks supurb for first time Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.
