    Any local automotive parts store will sell Bondo or Body-Filler. Usually they have ann the tools (sand paper, rasp, etc) to work it as well... :D

    Any sort of auto supplies store should have some bondo or other brand auto body fillers as far as how to apply it. I would do a google search or something for a tutorial

    Not hard, just do it outside, unless you like getting high on epoxy fumes. :lol:

    And wear a mask when you are sanding it!!! The Auto-Store should have the white paper ones (which will be fine). :thumb:

    have any of you seen the recent issue of pc extreme it shows you how to fill in a cap when joining two cases this is a quote taken from the mag

    This sounds good advice to me, except i will be using sand paper instead of the electric sander.

    Ya know - I should have mentioned Por's awesome Body Filler products...

    Por's Epoxy Putty
    WATER BASED, you can simply wet your fingers, and work with it until it is almost perfectly smooth before it dries - eliminating most sanding! But when it cures, it's ROCK HARD, making it perfect for repairing steel, plastics, concrete, etc. Amazingly, it even sticks to damp surfaces, and will cure UNDERWATER

    Por also makes this:

    Por's RestoGRIP Body Filler
    RestoGRIP™ Body Filler is specifically designed for applications that require more strength, such as bridging holes, or filling high-stress areas. RestoGRIP™ Body Filler is loaded with tiny polyester fibers, which makes it many times stronger than ordinary body fillers.

    But for REALLY smooth repair/filler which needs almost NO sanding:

    Por's Straightline Body Filler
    STRAIGHTLINE™ BODY FILLER has over 30% more resin than other fillers, which gives it much greater adhesion. STRAIGHTLINE™ has ultra fine particles for perfect feathering of edges, and is manufactured under vacuum, which eliminates those pesky air holes you've experienced with other fillers. It's more flexible, tougher, and able to tolerate higher temperatures than other fillers.Use STRAIGHTLINE™ BODY FILLER for steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, fiberglass, and many plastics.

    (The StraightLine is what I am using on some work on my SexyG3 Mod...) :D
