Bondo Professional Glazing and Spot Putty, 00801, 3.0 oz

The media could not be loaded. Bondo Professional Glazing and Spot Putty is what you use when your surface is almost perfect, but not quite. In my case I was doing DIY body work and painting. It fills in tiny imperfections, smooths out the surface, and gives you a flawless base for primer and paint. If you’ve got small scratches, sanding marks, or pinholes after using body filler, this is what you need.What It Is• Fills small imperfections – Smooths out flaws that will show through primer.• Spreads easily – No dragging, no frustration.• Sands effortlessly – But make sure to use higher grit sandpaper (nothing too aggressive, or you’ll just create more scratches).• Primer sticks to it perfectly – No peeling, no weird reactions.What It’s NotThis is NOT a structural filler. If you’re dealing with dents, deep scratches, or rust holes, this won’t cut it. You need:✅ Fiberglass-reinforced filler for strength✅ Lightweight body filler for shaping✅ THEN this for final smoothingI reviewed both the fiberglass filler and lightweight filler I used, so check those out if you’re still at that stage.Sanding & Primer Tips for the Best FinishWhen sanding this, MAKE SURE to use higher grit sandpaper, something like 320-400 grit. Lower grits will just dig into it and make more work for you.Even though this fills everything you can see with your own eyes, there are always tiny imperfections you can’t see. For most people, a standard primer will be fine, but if you want the most professional-looking finish possible at home, look into a filler primer. It’ll help level out any microscopic flaws and give you an even better surface before paint. I got annoyed with how little info was available for what products would be best, so I did hour upon hours of research (since all the things online and suggestions were just clearly sponsored lol). Again I put that under my profile and reviewed it!For never having done this before, I think my results turned out really decent. The extra effort on prep made a huge difference in the final finish.IMPORTANT: Wear a RespiratorLike all body fillers, this releases a high amount of VOC fumes, way more than spray paint and for much longer. Even if you’re working outside, you NEED a respirator.Final Verdict: The Key to a Flawless Finish• Ease of Use: 10/10 – Spreads and sands with no hassle.• Finish Quality: 10/10 – Fills every tiny imperfection.• Value: 10/10 – A must-have if you want a smooth, professional-looking result.If you’re doing bodywork, this is the last step before primer. You could probably get away with skipping it, but if you want the best possible finish, this makes a difference.

Product is as good as advertised, no issues whatsoever

Good finish , but dries really fast, mix and fill or u will regret it

The filler itself works well, though the working time was less than the 5 minutes. It goes from gloppy to sort of a packed sand consistency quite fast. Suggest making a tiny trial batch, the size of a pea with a rice-grain dot of the hardener, to get a feel for it, before using a big amount.The tube was leaking on arrival--disappointing because I'd bought this size figuring I could use it for lots of repairs over time, since it's a 2-step process, but clearly that wasn't going to be possible. I contacted the company, who offered a partial refund. I'd have been furious about that if I wasn't ready to go with the repair, because it would mean the whole tube was wasted through no fault of mine, with only a partial refund. HOWEVER, since my repair had been sanded & prepped, I was able to use it, about 80% of the tube, for 2 rounds of dent-filling, so it seemed honest to prorate the refund: a win/win. I'm happy with the company's response and won't hesitate to buy from them in the future.

I've used this for 3 years for my model cars as filler and making custom body work. I love it. It works much better than anything I've used that's made for the hobby. The dry time is fairly quick (10-20 minutes, as long as your harder ratio is good, otherwise it can be longer or shorter). It doesn't craze the plastic. It sands really nice and doesn't leave pinholes.

Two stage glazing putty is pretty amazing.

Product is great not the first time I use it. However, this is the first time I purchased it through this vendor on Amazon. The package came closed, but the product was leaking inside the box. I came back to Amazon to return it or get a replacement and found out I cannot. Very disappointing.

I like this product. It's thin and that's important for a final finish to get into the nooks and crannies of the thicker filler. However, it's not an epoxy so I can't be sure how well it's going to hold up. After wet sanding, I got a coat of primer on it quickly to protect the finish. so far so good.
