I have went through three auto body schools. This fix is only good if you can get behind it to put a water barrier behind it. Another new product on the market is panel adhesive and a piece of metal over the spot. The issue with that is feathering which 9 times out of 10 the eye will not see if you you are a little high. Cutting the metal out and butt welding is the only way to make good as new.

Thank you for your informative videos. I watched this one and another you made, concerning using fiberglass as an alternative to welding. I might mention that I had a problem. I used regular filler after the fiberglass application and the glass at the ends of the patch popped through my primer. I know I used resin to smooth it all but after sanding it down, I had this issue. In your other video, there was a small segment where you mentioned Bondo Glass. I ground off my filler and bought some of this and it seems to be working. All that said, did I do something wrong?
@LakesideAutobody3 жыл бұрын
Sorry - I was not able to get to your first post on this for some reason. When you sand your fiberglass, you'll want to make sure the edges are smooth and "feathered" into the metal. Your filler should also feather into the metal. Everything should be smooth when you spray your primer surfacer. Make sure you use "High Build" primer surfacer (Urethane Primer Surfacer or Lacquer Primer Surfacer) as this has thickness which covers up the bodywork imperfections. You will then block sand this and it will be perfect. Here's a video on block sanding: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7edpK6ZsdHJf4U.html Hope this answers you ? - if not ask again - Jerry

@@peterjlindley I know this sounds crazy but In Canada they give the underside of cars oil baths. After some time it gets like an old valve cover and doesn't rust. I personally make sure pinch welds (bottoms of doors, deck lids, hoods etc) are coated with used motor oil. I'm always looking for ideas to coat the back side of repairs - even using roof tar or something that stays gooey but is cheap. Any ideas? Jerry

Hey jerry, great work💯 I’m just wondering what kind of pad is on your air gun towards the end of the video when you were using the gun and the 40 grit sanding block before the primer
@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын
Hi Jake - thanks. I think you were seeing the pad on the DA sander. That's just like a stiff black foam pad that all the National Detroit DA sanders came with back in maybe the 80's. It's almost like an interface pad of today. Let me know if this answers your ? :)

So do you recommend taking off the fender? What grit paper on the bondo hog and DA? Thanks, Dave
@LakesideAutobody4 жыл бұрын
It's not necessary but it could help when trying to undercoat the back. Even w/o undercoating the back it should hold up well as long as you have drain holes or a way that salt water and debris can escape.

Thanks, very helpful video. I have 2 holes that were cut into my tractor engine cover (previous owner/previous engine) about 3" x 4" square. Is there any hole size limitations? How can the fiberglass cloth be supported from sagging while the resin is setting up?
@LakesideAutobody4 жыл бұрын
I think you would be OK - remember boats are made in the same fashion but more layers so for bigger holes use more layers for more strength

Get some paint sticks that fit across the span of the rear of the hole, and put magnets on the ends of the sticks. Lay the sticks from behind and perhaps place foil or wax paper between the fiberglass and the wood sticks to keep the resin from bonding to them. I only saw this today, so my apologies for being late!

You can use cardboard with a sheet of wax paper over it and place the cardboard on the inside of the repair once it’s hard remove the cardboard and wax paper once the repair is completed and paint is cured apply some oil behind the repair and then brush on some asphalt black undercoat working it into the oiled metal and fibreglass so water and dampness and salt can’t soak into repair don’t skip the oiling trust me 50 years experience it works . The Encapsulates only cover rust I don’t use then on old metal , they would be fine on brand new car/truck under wheel wells and frames floors but won’t stop inner frame rust or seam or weld rust

Fiberglass can be used over bare metal - just like bondo. Prime after you finish your body work - I've never seen anyone in a body shop prime before doing the body work - applying bondo or fiberglass etc.

I got rockers going out on my car. After I clean up the rust there will probably be 6” x 3” hole. How would I shape the fiberglass in my case since the hole is much larger than the one in this video?
@crpth13 жыл бұрын
The easiest way to cover larger areas. Is to use a "form" . By form read anything that can temporarily hold the desired shape until it dry enough to self support. All is fair game. Metal mesh, aluminum or stainless steel work quite well. So does wax paper, plastic bags, cardboard, duct tape... BTW duct tape is perfect to hold plastic or paper in place. Depending on resin type, material, thickness, hardner, etc. We might be talking about 10 minutes to overnight. So your "form" is a very temporary need. After a single layer of cloth, others can be added later. Bridging a hole can be a minutes thing! ;-)

Hey great Info. How do you treat back side of rust hole to prevent future rust through? And when do you treat in filling process. ?
@LakesideAutobody4 жыл бұрын
If i sand blast and undercoat (just spray bomb type) the back I do it before or after painting - your choice. If I use old motor oil I always treat the back after paint work - paint doesn't like oil.

I've seen metal mesh patches, alu or steel. Are these also a suitable alternative to fibreglass cloth used here? I have to fill a rust hole in the wheel well of my car, where it meets the outer fender. I was thinking it would stronger as well as easier to shape the metal in my application. Any thoughts or experience, respectively recommendations? Thanks for the informative videos!
@LakesideAutobody Жыл бұрын
I have not used the metal mesh but I think it would work. If you can coat the back - great - that will really seal it from future rust. If not, try to allow for drainage to keep the panel inside dry and clean also when finished painting you can try this method - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br6RjaWqnK2nZ3U.html

Hi I'm going to try this on the top of a front fender on a 04 jeep wrangler. Will this last with rocks beating on the under side? How far around the perimeter of the hole do you knock it down? 1/2" or more?
@LakesideAutobody2 жыл бұрын
Yes about 1-2"" will work - even more is better. Don't be afraid to go ahead an knock it down good - like 1/4" on average.. That way you have a lot of room to lay your fiberglass in there along with a nice rigid layer of filler :)

what do u think of dyna glass and wax paper? i put dyna glass on back side seems to hold up great
@LakesideAutobody5 жыл бұрын
My honest opinion is Fiberglass, bondo, dynaglass are pretty much going to hold up the same. I think if you seal the back side it will hold up very well. When moisture gets in between the metal and the resin (bondo products) it begins to bubble or pop off the car. If you can weld it that is really the best but you still have to coat the back if you can. Jerry
