Is bondo the only way to go?

I guess I'm going the bondo route!  Is it a pain to deal with a lot of little dings since the bondo sets so fast?  I'll probably mark everything with a pencil prior to mixing the bondo but I imagine I'll have to go little by little.  I'm really happy I can sand almost right away.

Thanks everyone!   :cheers:

Jav,
you can simply put a little less hardner in the mix aand it will take longer to setup.

On another note, shouldn't you be finishing that juke before starting another project??   ;D :cheers:

im currently doing some work on a Double Dragon Cab for my brother.  It has some bad spots on both sides and with the cab on its side, i cant get to them all at once.  so what i do is just mix up a small batch on a piece of card board.  fill in the areas i need to and then let it dry.  then repeat with a new piece of card board.  its not hard to use at all.  dont worry if you mix to much the first few times.  you can always mix more. 

after mixing, work for a few minutes on the areas that need work and then stop.  clean your tools and let it dry.  if you try and work with the bondo when it starts to get tacky, you will not be able to fill in spots very easily.

The juke is operational but I need some help finishing it up.  I'm not sure what to do about the back I/O panel I have planned (since I'm out of plexi and laminate) and I need to wire all of the plugs to one outlet which I'm scared to do.  That's all that is left to do... oh, and I have to order a marquee (it's final) and polish out that scratch.  But yes, you are right in that I really need to finish that up.   ;D
