Thinning Plastic Wood?
« on: May 21, 2013, 05:20:37 PM »
Hi:

Does anyone knows how to thin "plastic wood" for my lure?
May I use thinner or acetone or what?

Thanks

some may not like this idea but I love bondo you can make any thickness you need dries fast and hard and as it cures you can trim it smooth so far I have had no problems useing it. works well and adheres to wood really well. also it is so cheap.

I just like opening the stuff and smelling it.

Weird yes. I like the smell of fresh fiberglass too :)
