[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 381296, member: 13599"] I personally am a big fan of Bondo. compare the prices of Bondo Auto Body Filler at your auto parts store and Bondo Wood Filler at the big box store. (you can probably do that on line) They are one and the same. (the fillers may be a little different) Then, using Bondo, you will have patches that will never fail under your vinyl. Try to stay within the prescribed ratio of the filler/hardener mix as you can. In the hot weather, a little too much hardener will set up faster than you can use it - thus results in wasted material (money). I don't use "epoxy" in large projects because of the cost factor. If you have some[b] "Polyester Resin"[/b] (fiberglass) on hand, that is awesome to mix with sawdust as a filler also. Depending on how big your defects are and how many you have, epoxy in the syringe double barrel hobby type will work just fine. Just mix your liquids well BEFORE you add your sawdust. Photos as you go is nice to see [/QUOTE]
