Bad advice runs rampant on this board. Many people shoot from the hip and make BS claims that can lead to expensive repair bills for others in the future! Be VERY careful what you read on these forums like the statement quoted above!!

Keel,
Really? Can you give us a link to a Bondo that is Vinylester then?
Don't bother trying you will wear out your fingers before you find one because Bondo DOES NOT make any vinylester fillers!
The ONLY product made actually falls under the corporate umbrella of the Bondo division of 3M. That product is a new VE product that is sold under the Laminex brand and is part number
#16074 Laminex Marine Premium VE Filler. Note the VE, or Vinylester, in the NAME!! This product is new and basically a re-branded 3M Marine Premium Filler. The basic rule of thumb in the marine world is this: If it does not specifically say Vinlyester it most likely isn't.
3M owns Bondo, 3M sells Vinylester faring compounds for LOTS of money, because they are EXPENSIVE compared to polyester, do you think they would under cut them selves and sell a pint of VE, under the Bondo brand, for $6.14 when they sell a pint of VE, 3M filler, for over $22.00 per pint?? Vinylester is MUCH more expensive than polyester so I'd love to find a cheaper source!!!
Please research your claims, or be more careful, (maybe you confused polyester and vinylester) before you post so that others may actually benefit in the long run from your advice. It's the polite thing to do..
