Body Filler/Bondo question..

Ok, so I want to fill the holes in my trunk/bumper where the emblems where. I bought a can of bondo that has a little tube of some other ****, i think hardener. Can you give me tips on the best way to do this? I know the can has directions, but im sure there's an easier way to do everything that you guys know about.
you can't just throw bondo over a hole or it will fall in before it hardens. yes the tube is hardener, the more you use the faster it hardens. if you have a glob about the size of a baseball you should use almost a inch line of the red stuff. be shur to mix it all up good.
If you want it to last as long do it the right way. First you need to get some fiberglass resin and some fiberglass mat from your local hardware store. Bondo makes the stuff you need or else any fiberglass resin. Now on the back side of the holes tape up the mat and then put the resin over it. Now let it dry and you have a solid backing. Next get some Bondo-Glass, not just regular bondo. Reason is because the bondo glass holds up a lot better. Here's the bondo glass you need.
And that should do ya, now just apply it and sand away using proper sanding techniques.

I would totally stay away from Bondo all together. Those holes are tiny, just get them welded shut or new metal welded. Bondo won't last more than a few years and its very hard to work with and make it look good. IMO
