- If you choose this solution, do not wait until the bondo as
- completely
- hardened before working on it. The stuff becomes hard as a rock.
- Let it set to a soft, cheesy consistency and clean the excess
- with
- coarse sand paper.

- Good point Daniel; but, many auto body types use a cheez grater
- file to work bondow before it's hardend becase it claugs sand
- paper too quickly.
-
- Your quite right, it's too hard to work by hand once it's
- hardend; but, I think it responds very well to a belt sander.
