Ponte FTW!!!

With ponte and cheap crappy bondo resin you just need to hardly coat it and it soaks right in, with good resin it soaks in even better.

With fleece and cheap crappy bondo resin you can end up using damn near half the can trying to fully saturate the fleece, using good quality resin that's thin and runny makes fleece not so bad though, but it still soaks up a lot of resin.

What cost more? Resin or Fleece? I would def spend the extra cash on ponte over fleece. You will use way less resin.

Why are you sanding the fleece after it cures anyways? Unless you are using wax resin.

You shouldn't even see the fleece anymore after laying down a few layers of fiberglass chop mat. So these 'ridges' should be of no issue really.

I hope you are not soaking fleece with resin and then just applying bondo on top of that. That's not how it works.

-Stretch fleece

-Soak fleece in resin

-Let fleece cure

-Rough sand fleece (optional)

-Apply few layers of fiberglass mat

-Sand

-Apply body filler

-Bodywork to desired finish

fleece eats up gallons of resin and is not the best material for stretch.

ponte is about as good as anything you can get. my glass skills are not nearly as good as some others on here.
