------ Need fiberglass advice -------
I've been glassing in the scoop on my hood and I'm not sure what to do next !
Do I bondo directly on the fiberglass ------ or do I use the urethane/filler primer and then use the bondo over top of it ?????? Thanx for the help guys !!! Rick

Use fiberglass to get it as close to the desired shape as possible, you want to use the least amount of filler, especially on a hood which sees a lot of action in closing/opening and a good deal of engine heat

What about the 'kitty hair' short strand fiberglass filler?
It's basically fiberglass and sands like fiberglass so thats what I've been using. It seems a whole lot better than bondo!

Thanx for the help guys ! I know to use as little as possible (or thin) on the bondo ---- so I'll finish my shaping and then get a thin skim over the top just to smooth things out.
