Cool Body Repair

Dose any one know if a 3 by 6" inch hole can be fixed with Bondo and Bondo metal mesh? I'm not sure if it will hold.

Re: Body Repair

Too large an area without some backing the repair will not be stable, you would need to weld in a patch or back up the work in some way.

Is the bondo filler water proof or do I need to use fiberglass first to repair a hole and then the body filler
