Bondo is "hot" stuff. The body shop people are in a hurry to get on with the job. Bondo fills that need for rapid polymerization.
I heartily reccommend an epoxy marketed by Fiberglass Coatings, St. Petersburg, Fl. 800-272-7890. They have a product that I've used for years in a manufacturing process. It is called Superbond. You can get it in standard 50 to 60 minute pot life or medium 20 to 30 minute pot life. Superbond is ideal for Glueing EC12 parts. It is sufficiently viscous to stay where you put it. It will make a hell for strong keel cradle. Cost is reasonable, not much more than Bondo, but far more useful. The same firm has everthing you could want in materials, such as 3/4 ounce fabric, laminating resins etc..
I do not intend to be commercial here. No doubt the other suppliers like West or System Three have a product similar to Superbond.
