never though of a heat gun, but that sure is a good idea, especially for finish work. personally i think there is way too much bondo ing going on out there. the goop has become a band aid for lazy folks and people who take the easy way. time is usally the ruination of the job. some guys are extrememly good with the bondo, but that comes after quality metal work.
i watched a guy glob about 3 pounds of the stuff on a badly dented door, then run it down to a local shop for a paint job. he finally replaced the door the next spring after his patch job cracked from winter and jarring around. i have seen guys do extremely good bondo work that has held up very well. new fiberglass strand stuff seems to be the way to go. i do have some leftover lead for the cabover, and that's where it gonna go. the will, no doubt, be my last lead job.
