Filling holes
I'm prepping a 2000.5 CC ds and I want to fill in the holes from the "no step" panels. It was suggested that I taper the holes from both sides and fill with the fast acting JB Weld, sand down, then finish with a Bondo type filler. Any comments or suggestions?

Re: Filling holes
Whoops, sorry. I read farther down in this section and found a post on the same question. Will have to learn how to search properly.

Re: Filling holes
The 4 min JB weld works great! Tried it yesterday on my DS body. I was filling the holes from where somebody drilled it out to run light wires and screw holes for the lights. I used a dremel tool whit a grinding stone to waller out both sides of the holes. I also used 2" blue painters tape on the inside. Sanded down nice.

Re: Filling holes
I used Bondo Bumper Repair. Worked great, very easy to sand.

Re: Filling holes
Filled my holes on the no step. I used a bit for countersinking wood screes to form a taper on both sides, taped the back and applied from the top. The top side is uneven and messy and will require filing and sanding. Peeled the tape off the back and the holes are perfect, no work required to finish. Will next do the bag well holes, but from the inside with the tape on the outside.

Re: Filling holes
Just finished the bag well holes from the inside and the outside or top side looks great. Primer and a touch of glazing putty is all that is needed. Wish I had thought to do it that way in the first place.

Re: Filling holes
So it sounds like there are several ways to fill holes/scrapes in the body.
1. Bondo Bumper Repair kit 2. 4 Minute JB weld 3. Polyester based finishing putty Has anybody had any shirinking problems with any of these? Now that you are done... Which is the easiest to use? Sounds like the jb weld because you do not have to drill out or "shape" any of the holes. More opinions ? Just fyi, I am going to fill the "no step" holes, as well as fill in 2 deep gouges in my body. |

Re: Filling holes
Even with the jb weld you want to waller out the hole on the top and bottom. Just enough so the top and bottom of the hole is larger than the center. This way the fill material is larger at the top and bottom so it won't pop out later on if your cart gets bumped. I just took a small pocket knife and cut it aroung the hole then ruffed it up a bit.
