Thank you. My husband has passed away, he was a Renaissance man along with being a handyman. Now I am left to do these honey do projects. Please take care of yourselves 🌹💯

Thanks for this posting this DIY video! I've been researching for a solution to repair & restore rusted out metal lawn chair legs, and this seems to be the best shot at getting a few more years use out of them. I loved your thorough step-by-step instructions - very helpful for a "never done-it" beginner. 😎 Also loved watching the sped-up section of painting the doors. It was almost therapeutic to watch and probably made anyone who has tackled painting wish all paint jobs could be so easy and quick! Lol! 😁🤣

Wonderful video! For the most part we don't have basements in California, where I live, but this could translate to all kinds of other repair. Nice trick using the styro filler for a back support!

I finally found the video that I was looking for. Thank you so much! Loved the outcome because I'm getting ready to fix a baker's rack that has a bunch of rust and also holes. This metal bondo is perfect for this! This video was excellent because it helps beginners like myself save some cute wrought iron baker's rack and planters.

Beautiful job

Awesome video! I was looking for a way to patch the corner of a metal door that has rusted through. I was going down the rabbit hole of metalworking and started to get intimidated and was even considering just buying a new door. After seeing this video, I realized your method in this video is the perfect solution for me! Thanks for talking us through your process and explaining it so well. Your video gives me the confidence to try to fix it myself!

Usually things that smell like this work real good...I love it!

Looks like it did the job. Thanks for the video 👍

This video was very helpful. I have a metal deer statue (yard art) in my yard. One of the antlers was already broken off when I bought it (at a great discount.) I've been wondering how to fill the gap and now I know! Thanks for the details you included in your descriptions. You've got a very positive attitude. Keep up the good work!

Great video. Our metal roof on our pergola is beginning to rust in a few places. I’ve never used Bondo before, but I picked up the professional high bond to stop the rusting and your video gave me the confidence to try it. This can came with a cream hardener instead of the liquid but I think I can handle it. Thanks

That was very helpful, thanks!

Great video buddy. I enjoyed it. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

great video, thank you!

I'm curious about using the foam filler as a backing. I've seen this approach used in auto body repair with poor results. It seems as though rust on panels is a result of moisture trapped on the inside surfaces, where it sits for long periods and the foam will just be more likely to hold and trap this moisture causing more and quicker rust formation. It would make more sense to attempt to address the moisture coming from the back or sides and allow trapped moisture to instead drain away. I would use a sheet metal patch and any bondo product once the moisture issue was addressed.

GREAT JOB !! what color did u use to top coat??

Exactly what I needed. It always interesting to see negative comments on a free fantastic video:( I'll be back. Thanks American Honey!

Thank you so much for this great instructional video!!! My project turned out absolutely perfect!!! I am a lady and was hesitant of my ability to attempt such a project. You are truly amazing American Honey!!! ❤❤❤

YAAAAY! Thanks dude! You helped me decide on a way to tackle a bunch of little rust holes around my bulkhead door ;) Cheers!

Nice job, great vid, thanks. Wish you had shown how you you handled the inside of the door... especially dealing with the spray foam thru that open hole. Bondo interior side too? I could see you painted interior side but not how it was done.

Good job.

Great job!!! It should work on rusted car rockers as well. Will try when a get an old SUV with that problem in a few months. It's got to be better than rust showing thru the metal. Nothing to lose but getting some experience working thru these issues and make changes as needed. LOL 😆😅🤣😂

Looks good

Had some vertical posts on my front porch, code States 4x4s are in code however, I had 6x6s and some of the wood rotted, ground out all the wood that was rotten, still had more than a 4x4 to comply with code, Body filler doesn't work good on wood on houses it will fall off eventually, use Corvette patch, Kitty hair ,fiberglass strand with polyester resin, it will last forever and the weather won't bother it.

That was pretty good and i’ve heard of fiberglass bindi but not metal infused bindi…..At any rate thanks for sharing that.👍🏿😂

One thing I’d suggest is to put a clear coat or epoxy over any aluminum or iron outside projects… Water runs off it and it should keep you from having to repaint or continue to repair. I’m no expert so different projects have different needs so take this with a grain of salt. 👍

Good job. It looks really great. I wonder how long the metal reinforced bondo will hold back the water.

I patched my boss plow with this stuff last year and it held up well...honestly the only reason I think it failed in spots is it was too late in the year and it couldn't get the proper temp for the chemical reaction to take place as it was supposed to

Do you think I could use this on a thin rusty fire pit, that I'd like to turn into a flower planter? Should I use stainless steel flexible mesh in the bottom of the pit for extra reinforcement?

Initially I said to myself "why didn't he hire a mig welder and weld in a few patches"? Then I thought "maybe this will work". I'd be very interested to know how it is holding up after 12 months. I'd love a new video of the same.

Like the foam idea 🤟

I had no idea this kind of repair was doable. Hey, I'm new to this stuff.

A thin sheet of tungsten or ceramic, depending on the damage to the bodywork, can be placed behind the hole and place the melted magnesium under casting over it. It's more professional work. Molten magnesium is a good metal for filling car holes in the bodywork, then just do the cabling.

is it necessary to put on the'\" RUST REFORMER INSTANLY PROTECED PAINTABLE SURFACE " ?

It worked, what more can you hope for 👍

People, if you use a wire brush in a drill, get one larger that an 1 1/4" like this guy used.

Good job, but two words for you: paint roller (LOL). You'd still need the brush for cutting in, but the roller would greatly speed up the painting. Keep up the good work.

Did you have any problems with the Bondo adhering to the rust converter?

need to do this on a cast iron white kitchen sink, rust hasn't eaten through yet, do you by chance have experience with metal putty? or should i go with your bondo. I'll try to find the closest brand since i live in europe but rustoleum is found everywhere

Would you recommend this method for a classic car in rusty floor pan repair? lol

How did things work out?

thanks

Next tine you paint take a 40 grit flap disc and polish that baby before priming and painting. Paint it with some High temp paint since it gets direct sun

what's the music? I really like that guitar

Is it harder to sand than regular bondo ?

Doesn't the foam soak in water?

A legitimate time to wear a mask. I see what you did there ;)

Well its all very nice. However, I think if you spent the time to refinish your doors using the POR15 system your rust problems would be eliminated. I would have put something like a cardboard backing over the door and filled with the bond rather than using great stuff. It's made to seal air leaks, not to interact with Bondo. But, it's your hack.

. Well I aint Never; seen anybody mix Bondo in a cup, or with a paint stick. should have used a spreader on a piece of pasteboard or something .I guess I'll finish the video and see how effective the spreader stick is.

Cool, no need for welding patch panels anymore, now people will do their own bodywork on vehicles, save a fortune.

Someone sprayed that stuff on my car Beofre I bought it to cover a rust hole. Rather sheepish. Pulled off a bit easily too

For stuff like that bondo is ok but please keep the stuff away from cars 😂

Cut out a piece of scrap aluminum paint the area drill half dozen holes rivet or screw add body filler. the foam traps water 🥴 you'll be back rhere

Would have used bondo strictly on bare metal

Using the foam filler is not a good idea, it ruins the bond area for the bondo. Better just fill with bondo, you have compatibility issues.

Doesn't stick to paint. Clean bare metal.

Your so funny.....

Video waaay to long. Talk too damn much. Video went straight into a lame ass instrumental while top coating it and didn't even show the complete finish 😂

This repair won't last long. Bondo is designed to stick to bare metal.

Ah yes, the cheap way of fixing a car. 🤦🏻‍♂️

C Not worth it cheaper and better to replace it with plastic or new mantel door kit.
