Default Off Topic-Body work guys

I have a project and is there anything I can use to thin down Bondo or Dyna-deLITE.
Acetone or Toluene?
Thanks

not sure why you would... and what you owuld use depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Fiberglass / polyester resin would work, as would styrene, but it will make it much more dificult to sand... if you are looking to fill small scratches, use glaze... it is essentially thinned body filler that has smaller grained particles in it. Also, bondo sucks. try evercoat rage pro and you'll never go back. Finally, I'm no expert - just a backyard hack sharing my own experience.

Can't find the can. It comes in a pint. Any body supplier will know what the honey is.

I want to make a quick pourable solid with stuff I have laying around my shop. I don't want to go and spend money on Devcon or such for something I am going to break after it's made. That's all

Modeling clay, mud,wood and sheet rock mud, bondo, styrofoam then covers in bondo any product wrapped in plastic or covered with clear box tape will real ease a mold. What are you making?
