I wonder if the flat assertation that bondo is bad isn't taking it a bit far.
After all, if applied properly, bondo is an inexpensive way to take dings,
bumps, etc., etc., out of the surface of a car. As long as it is applied
over a *completely* dry rust free surface it should last a very long time.
I think that the real evil is those amateur mechanics who use it to hide
rust or damage that would be more properly repaired with sheet metal. These
same individuals like to use lots of the stuff too. And is a real bear to
strip off a car.
But consider the alternatives: buy a completely new body part or panel, or
use lead to fill in an smooth out the bumps-- not a very easy procedure.
