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

So Tok,

In the first pic, there is not bondo in there yet correct?  I'm guessing you just glob it in there without putting anything else on top right?  Then you simply sand it down once it's completely dry?  Also, how did you secure the cardboard to the bottom of the cabinet?

Yes. Just make sure there are no chemicals on the cabinet. I wiped the finish with alcohol then spread the Bondo. If you can mix it and spread quickly, you'll likely get a pretty smooth finish on the first pass. As the hardener starts to activate it will start to pull on you. I'd let it sit a couple hours before sanding.

I meant to mention I tacked the cardboard on the back of the cab with a couple small nails.

I've heard plexi works well too and you might be able to get some scraps from HD or lowes.  Haven't tried it myself.

I exchanged the Bondo today.  I have the normal "car" one now.  Turns out it was only $2 cheaper at $22.99.   :-\

But at least I will be able to see the red hardener when mixing it.

Here's a pic.

Thats the exact stuff I use. It works great.
