nothing already has the hardener in it, if it did it would be hardened before it ever made it off the production line.

Actually, I used Bondo Filler Putty. Just a tube of liquid (pre-mixed, I guess), to fill in pits from Bondo work. Works really well, and no smell. Hardens and sands super nice. Red, though, kinda wierd.

That's what I use, I get that in Home Depot. Autozone also sells the same thing in a different container and it also has a different color, but it's also made by Bondo. ------------- Im a fiberglass whore!!

The Bondo brand resin works but I avoid it if possible. It's not the best (but like I said, it will work). You're better off getting a decent ($20-25/gal) resin from a marine supply or auto body supply. Of course you can always mail order it from US Composites. -------------

Auto body supply houses will carry it or something like it (Everglass, Marglass, etc.). US Composites carries it if you have to mail order. -------------

So I take it that the duraglass is one a better brand than the bondo stuff and two that it is better than just using regular bondo. Am I right or wrong please explain? Also what makes the duraglass better than regular filler

What's so bad about Bondo brand resin? Just curious. I only find it a pain in the a$$ to buy resin online cause I have always found it to be more expensive than $25, plus about $10 shipping.  ------------- Im a fiberglass whore!!

There are a lot better brands of body filler than Bondo. That's my opinion but then I'm a Rage Gold convert.

So what is the best product even for you average diy'er like me, I saw that the alpine guys used duraglass and rage gold? Where can i get rage gold for a good price also?

Rage Gold should be available at an auto body supply (not auto parts). It's made by Evercoat so you'll need to find a dealer. I think I'm paying about $20 give or take a couple bucks.
