Is this the right "Bondo" to use? (pic)

The All Purpose hardener was $4.99 more than the car bondo.  I haven't opened it up yet, so perhaps I should exchange it for the car one that's tinted.  It was the same size tub and everything.  I didn't buy it because I assumed that it only "stuck" to metal, but I see you guys confirm otherwise.  What say you all.  Good idea or not?  Should I exchange it?

Also, I want to repair the corners on the bottom on my cab as well and I was told that I could make a mold out of wood so that I can use the mold to shape the bondo on the cabinet to get a perfect edge.  However, wouldn't the bondo "bond" together with the wood mold that I am using?  How do you prevent this from happening?

I used heavy cardboard. Where the Bondo stuck to it, it was easy to tear away and sand flat.
After you patch and sand, use your hand as a guide. If you can feel it with your fingertips, you can't hide it with paint.  :cheers:

Incredible TOK.  In a few months I'm going to be busting out the bondo for the first time  - I will definitely use cardboard for the straight edges!   :cheers:

Spray Silicon Mold release might work well.
