It looks quite amazing up close, you can see a couple waves, where I stopped with the bondo and did not feather it down smooth enough....I finished with 300 grit, and I read 600 is what the finish sanding should be, but it really looks quite amazing. Not bad at all for my first one. I have two other cars that need this, and (3) pods that need it....the pod is next...hopefully by the time I get to #30’s dash, I’ll be better at it!
cant tell where any cracks were, you see no lines or anything....I’m pretty stunned, as I didn’t think I could do this good a job!
It’s sooo much work, but so satisfying....I am fortunate enough to have been able to have a conditioned indoor space to do this, as I made a helluva mess...I have a lot to clean up, but the dash and the material were all at the same temp, room at 72, and 40% humidity....the bondo dust covered everything, but our basement is just storage and my crap, so not too big a deal.
Having some tough times at work, and worrying and stressing way too much (I have suffered from depression before, fyi) I felt that some bondo fumes and 928 therapy was in order, so started the pod. Was only going to fill the cracks tonight, but decided to just go ahead and coat the entire top, as originally planned, feathering it over to the sides. Now I can start sanding tomorrow night, Might be able to skim coat on Saturday...
