  1. I certianly lack some skills when it comes to bondo (mainly patience), and the quick set up time is not my friend.
  2. Also when doing it piecemeal, I don't have time to sand the bondo right after I lay it, so it is hard by the time I get to sanding it.
  3. The worst part is doing tons of small batches, which seem to end up slightly harder or softer which makes sanding a pain and the results wavy.
  4. Ratioing the bondo to the hardener is the most frustrating part, ...How should I know if this glob is the size of a golfball?
As with most things, I am sure most of the issues are with the user and not the product. [/Rant]
Good on you for making the effort, but for anyone following along there is PolyMetal or squeegeeing resin out under mylar to save finish work.
