What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this product for its exceptional performance, durability, and versatility across automotive and household repairs. Reviewers highlight its fast curing, smooth sandability, and ability to create hard, long-lasting finishes on wood, metal, and various surfaces. Many appreciate its ease of mixing and application when the correct hardener ratio is used, with repairs often becoming virtually invisible after painting. However, several customers express frustration with unclear mixing instructions and inadequate printed guidance on the can. A few report issues with underfilled containers, strong odor, and improper mixing causing slow curing. Despite these drawbacks, most consider it a reliable, effective repair solution.

Would Not RecommendHow is this supposed to work? Since there is no instructions I figured it must be simple. I applied it to the dent and waited for it to harden. After 24 hours it was still soft. I then started searching for help. Where am I supposed to get the hardener that you refer to? Since it's necessary, shouldn't it be included? I'll just return it and try something else.

Good product with a couple of issues.
Would RecommendI have bought a lot of bondo in the past. This fulfilled my needs, with a couple of issues. There is never enough of the hardener, and the can is barely half full.

Need a QR code reader for instructions?
Would Not RecommendInstructions required my cell phone to read a QR code after 3 AM website. Omission of instructions on the can must be a violation of product labeling. Expected more from 3M

Use only if you're a bodywork pro.
I cannot believe there are no instructions for mixing the hardener. It is an important step. Please make some much needed changes to help your customers use this product.
