    Bondo Spoilboard Re-surfacing

    Wonder if anybody else has used bondo auto body filler to re-surface a worn spoilboard. I have done this several times now and am really happy with the result. I simply (and quickly) mix up so of the filler and slap it onto the spoilboard rough spots and let it cure. In minutes, you can flycut a new surface with ease. In the picture attached I am doing a bigger machine with a particle board spoilboard, but I have a small machine at home and it has a spoilboard made of solid surface countertop and the bondo re-finishes it as well. The bond seems to be great and it cuts like butter. Not too expensive either.

    Never used Bondo on a spoil board, I just replace them. But there is Bondo patches in the plastic table overlay. Not from my mistakes, I bought the machine used. But it does work well.

    I've used epoxy with lightweight filler for accidental deep gouges. Basically the same as bondo, but harder, and bonds better.
