Apply it the same as any other sheet metal. Just make sure it is supported from the back; ie., if off the vehicle...put it back on and begin working. If off and no car around....use a wooden saw horse (tends to work best), place over top and secure with wood screws. If you try shaping on unsecure sheet metal, you create more damage than to begin with.

How do you shape bondo and is there a type of Bondo to use on plastic car bumbers?
While it is still setting up, it can be carved to get a general shape, then it is sanded. Apply in thin layers up to 1/4 inch for large areas. To fill in large gaps or to build shapes it can be put on a sheet of plastic or cardboard and held in place until it sets. There are epoxy fillers for bumpers, but if there is much damage it is usually better to replace the cover.

Is there any way to remove bondo?
Besides sanding, grinding and scraping, you can remove Bondo from your clothes and other porous items with fingernail polish remover (acetone). Test the cloth in an inconspicuous spot before you try this because it will also dissolve some fabrics. You may need to let it soak for a while to soften it enough. Acetone evaporates very easily and is flammable so it would be best to do this outdoors. ZipStrip will also remove bondo but it is even more likely than acetone to destroy fabric...Test FIRST!

What are tips for repairing a car with Bondo?
Remove all foreign material, i.e., rust, paint, etc. Apply bondo to clean, rough metal only. Make sure metal is roughened to ensure adhesion of bondo to metal. Begin shaping, sanding, just after bondo is set up, don't leave too long, will be difficult to sand. Apply more bondo, to the sanded bondo, if needed, sand again - apply primer just prior to touch out glaze. 1. Use only fresh Bondo, not some that was opned last year. 2. Don't mix a large amount at one time. It will harden before you have a chance to apply. 3. Make sure your Bondo and hardener are well mixed. 4. Once you are shaped and sanded, get primer on it right away. Bondo and other fillers hold water. 5. Don't leave primer on too long without painting, it holds water as well. 6. When you're are shaping and sanding, WEAR A MASK. The dust can ruin your lungs.
When would you use bondo on the glass of a car?
It is not my intent to be sarcastic or or derogatory ...but I can't accept this as a legitimate/serious question. The Bondo brand of body putty is for metal parts, not glad. There is no situation that would ever call for such a use.
