bondo / body work

[IlIkEmYz]

anyone know any tips or websites on "do it your self body work/ bondo jobs?"

cause the horrible bondo job my dad did is making my trunk fill up like a swimming pool when it rains.

find the leak and patch it up. is this because of a rusty hatch or trunk? best bet would be to weld some metal underneath to seal it up then lay on some mud to smooth it out.

Another way to do it is take a ox accy torch with a flower tip and use a very low heat waftey flame and heat up the bondo and scrape it out with a plastic scraper. Then you should have a fresh area to start with. Just start over and do it right and it should turn out well. Or if its unsalvagble that way just find your local junkyards and scower for a new trunklid or what ever is leaking. BTW this trick works for most body fillers im scrapeing about 1/2 inch thick bondo off the side of my new project from a previous owners attempt to shave the whole car.
