Anybody use this mighty putty to attach body parts? ik a lot of people mention 3M tape to semi hold the parts on. Just wondering if this would work too.

 

if you use something else in the end to permanently hold a piece on, why the hell not! my turby skirts didnt fit worth a damn when i first put them on but since it has been awhile they have finally worked themselves into place, the tops are held on with 3m tape.

 

It's a paste epoxy. Tape flexes and most cured epoxies don't (much, before breaking).

Never used it, but it looks neat on TV!

 

ok. what about using it as a bondo substitiute since it looks a lot easier to use than bondo?

 

Bondo is cheap enough to buy a gallon.

 

yes this is true, but some of us, such as me, have some trouble with bondo, so i was trying to find an easier way to filling holes and dents and stuff.

 

i just used some to seal a plumbing leak and for my engine replica project for school. basically saved both days. love it. i wouldn't use it to hold spoilers, but if you break that stupid corner signal bracket, headlight bracket, bumper bracket fine. i'm going to use it to fill in those ugly extra "universal" holes on my rims.

 

The trouble with plastic body fillers is lack of practice! Seriously. You would laugh at the results the world's best bodyman got the first time he tried to use bondo.

 

The body work doesnt turn out bad because you dont know how to use a product in all cases. there is a little more to it than that. you can slap bondo on anyway you want. As long as you know how to sand and know when to stop you will be fine. Mighty putty wont be any different i wouldnt think. I havent seen the commercial for it or anything but it would still need to be sanded down to be shaped with the rest of the car. Also i bet it doesnt sand worth a shit, Body fillers are made to sand easy, some more than others though.
