Question:

Can Bondo be used to repair dents in aluminum siding before painting it?

If not, what else would work, if anything?It does not look like replacing individual panels of siding is going to be an option, so we are trying to figure out a way to fix them before we get our house painted next month.Thanks.

Answer:

You probably have not too many things to useBondo will do just fineYou will have to drill holes in the aluminum so the bondo will adhere betterLet it dry and give it a good sanding and feather the edges to match the aluminumIf your using oil or latex paint get a good primer paint to cover the bondoSmall tip: get an extra tube of hardener as it never seems to be enough and you always run out.
