Time for me to dive into some restoration projects.

Ive never used Bondo before, and in just checking out their products, using say Walmart as a reference:

There are lightweight putty, 2 part, Glass reinforced.....

My current need is to patch some particle board, like a 4" gash.

Which to use? what would I need to know about the differences in this product, and how you all use Bondo with regard to these
differences? Is the patch tape mesh a must? or at what size?
Lastly, I imagine a flatter even surface to dry, would result in less sanding....any sanding tricks to focus on?

Much appreciate the help on Bondo....Art

Thank you, how good is the pre mixed putty?

You bet! This project is fixing up a Coin Pusher!

The Plain basic black has a few bumps and is getting LEDs, and a re theme!
I have it set up to take all size coins, and my wife wants it Beachy, so Ill add some palms and rubber gators as prizes,
but the kids are trying to get the $100 Bill, and a 24 Karat Gold Coin in there along with fake pirate treasure!

Its a big piggy bank for everyone to drop their change, and I will use the funds for, ehmm, "Libations"
I throw a few in the pusher when friends come over......I think these should be set up in Legal states that way!

Anyway, back to topic, does one Bondo work better than another with Cheap Particle board?

Thank you!

Your time to share will certainly be of help to everyone!
