Home and Hobby
3M also distributes Bondo "All Purpose Putty" which may be used on, but not limited to, wood, asphalt, masonry, metal, drywall, and tile.
Bondo fillers and other body fillers have widespread usage in computer case modding, as when properly used, they can be sanded smooth and painted, and they will attach and hold, without damage, to metal, plastic, acrylic and perspex(plexiglas) surfaces.
During the 2010 Daytona 500, a pot hole formed in the race track. After a concrete patch only disintegrated again, NASCAR used Bondo body filler to patch the track with just 40 laps remaining. The Bondo body filler held until the finish.
Bondo is commonly used by skateboarders to make an area easier to skateboard. If a skateboarder finds a nice place to skate, but there are cracks in the pavement or ledge that make it hard to do so, Bondo body filler is often used to fill the crack. Bondo is portable, it can be mixed on site, and it hardens in a half hour or so, making it an ideal material for fixing skate spots. However, this should never be done without obtaining permission from the property owner, as bondo is difficult to remove and may make it more difficult to perform a proper repair.
Bondo can also be used to layer over paper crafts to harden them, usually to make props for cosplay or costuming.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or hobby:
“Men are all right for friends, but as soon as you marry them they turn into cranky old fathers, even the wild ones. They begin to tell you what’s sensible and what’s foolish, and want you to stick at home all the time. I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“My hobby more and more is likely to be common school education, or universal education.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
