I was wondering if mixing Bondo, Resin and acetone will give me a nice smooth finish on my FG inclosure. I've tried glazing putty but I just cant get rid of all the pits. If anybody could help me out that would be great. thanx

DON'T use bondo, it is 40 year old crap. Rage Gold and metal glaze work very well to fill and remove pin holes in prep for painting.

hatch,

Yeah I saw on here where some guy did a box for a beamer and used the mixture that you were talking about. He said that he was able to "paint" the mixture on with a brush. If I can find the post I will post a link. However he didn't specify the mixture ratios or which hardner he mixed in (bondo hardner or resin hardner). Any way it looked like a good experiment.

Nothing is impossible!

Thanx lincolnman! I think I might try that. I saw the post and it looked smooth. It would be killer if I could put it on with a paint gun. I need it smooth cuz Im painting the enclosure.

Bondo is basically rein mixed with talcum power. Also Bondo hardener is basically the same hardener used in resin, with some talcum power. So to thin out bondo just add resin to your desired thinness and apply w/ a brush. I’m not sure about adding the acetone. I just use the resin.

Why add resin? I can almost see thining the Bondo if you can't get Rage, but I don't understand the resin. Glazing putty is not for smoothing out an enclosure, just to fill tiny pinholes. I also doubt your gonna find anything that will spray on. You need Rage Mixing Bondo, Resin, and Acetone? -- posted image.
