Tired of Body Filler Hardening Too Quickly?

George Jets said
Put your gallon of bondo in the refrigerator over night along with the tube of hardener.

The cool product slows down the reaction (setup) time.

If you use a steel 3/16" mixing board like I do, you want to keep that cool too. Like keep it in the Air Conditioned house until you need to use it. Same idea with the gallon of bondo vs putting it in the refrigerator.

You get the idea, keep things cool to slow the reaction time.

I have tried that It certainly does give you a little extra time. I do the same with 2K Polyester primer.

I have done plenty of bodywork, Bondowork and a mix of the two. I am aware that body filler is necessary. I just questioned the terminology and how it alludes to substandard work.
"Shape" sure seems better than "Sculpt"........

I agree. I can see where you thought of 'sculpting' as slathering on a whole can of filler and then sculpting it into a work of art. I do like shaping better.
