Body Repair System Bondo Body Filler for fast, easy repair of dents in cars An American OriginalBorn from a time when auto body repair involved heat-shrinking metal and pouring lead, our Bondo Body Filler has been helping vehicle owners and auto body professionals for decades. This simple two-part solution includes a resin-based filler and a hardener. A tube of the hardener is included with Bondo Body Filler. The consistency of both compounds is creamy, but as the hardener is blended together with the filler it acts as a catalyst, creating a chemical reaction which cures the product. This fast-curing body filler spreads easily and will adhere to correctly prepared surfaces.Learn more about 3M Automotive Aftermarket products (PDF, 68.63 Mb)Bondo Body Filler shapes in minutes and will accept as many reasonably applied applications as required to fill holes and deep scratches or dents.
