Bondo (auto) vs. Bondo (wood filler) vs. Wood Epoxy question
What exactly are you guys using for your restorations?
I see everyone talking about Bondo...is that the same Bondo as you fix cars with or are you guys using Bondo Wood Filler? I didn't even realize Bondo made wood filler until I saw a post where someone mentioned it and thus i am now confused.
Also...what about wood expoxy? has anyone used it and if so how did that work? seems like that might be a good way to go with particle board repairs on a small scale where you don't want to remove vinyl and all that sort of thing...also, how does it sand down? are you able to get a smooth surface with it or is it pitted?
I have a Pac Man cabinet that seems to have some issues with the paint coming off and taking the top level of ply with it on the edges...i assume that is moisture damage? It's kinda odd to me because its only a thing top level it's pulling off.
I assume i can just remove that peeling by sanding it all down, fill in everything with Bondo or whatever you guys recommend here and sand that down then have a good surface to prime and paint?
