JB weld?
I dunno if its any better, but has anyone else used JB weld for small holes instead of bondo. I had a small hole I had to fill, along with trim holes. I used JB weld after the metal was painted to seal it. I figured this would be better than bondo as its stronger and doesn't hold moisture. Anyone else do this? Just curious on thoughts.

I definately wouldn't use bondo to fill a hole. There are epoxies out there that are stonger then welds. On Trucks they have a project S-10 and they needed to put in a new cab corner and they glued it in using that stuff. They did a test and the weld broke before the glue. Now what glue it was I couldn't tell you. I will get back to you on that as a guy on this chevy truck site I am on did it and I will find out what glue he used.2000 Mustang GT "Blondie", 2000 CVPI "Sargent Crusty" -

3M makes really good metal adhesive also.
They guy shaved his tailgate using the weldbond.

Definatly never use bondo to cover or fill holes,you will only cause yourself more headaches down the line.If you don't have access to a welder or don't have welding skills,I would cut a peice of sheetmetal to size and use some sort of epoxy to bond it permanently in place,then use bondo glazing and spot putty to fill in the rest of the inperfections surrounding the area.Comment

the problem i see with using JB weld to fill a hole is smoothing it out after it has cured.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx
