*Pix* Need Help With "Type R" Grille

[EuroJDMcb7]

Hey guys, I just finished cutting all of the stuff inside my grill, so it now appears that I'm ready to start the bondo/fiberglass work.

Here's a pic of the bondo stuff that I bought the other day for the grill.

I"ve never used bondo before, so could someone please enlighten me on how they patched up the gaps on their grills like this one.

I'll answer your question....first sand down everywhere you are going to spread the bondo. With the bondo you mix the creme paste filler with the creme hardener, to the specs on the can. Mix it up really good, then just simply spread it evenly over the desired areas. But use thin layers, and sand down every layer, then reapply the bondo until satisfied. To fill the gap where you cut the grille, you can use some mesh and put that under the hole, then apply the bondo over that. Did you get a spreader? If not you need something smooth flat to spread out the bondo, you can even us a putty knife, but us a plastic one, because if you use a metal one the bondo will dry to the metal, and the plastic one you can just bend it and it will flex off.
