I bought some body putty, but left it in the car over night and temps went below 0 Celsius. Can I still use it? I don't see why not since sooner or later it will have to withstand these temperatures, but it was still unused and not mixed with hardener.

Thanks,

JB

I also have problem with its gigantor hugeness, quite annoying imo. But to stay on topic I wouldn't see why you couldn't use it.

Thanks guys. It doesn't say anything about storing temps, so I thought it should be fine.

Okay, each door has a dent in it. They are not too deep, but cover a large area. I have applied some filler to one of them, so it's perfeclty smooth, but then I saw a little crack at the edge. I took a blade and chipped off the bondo around 2-3 inches around it. The filler is around 2-3mm thick. I've hit the area that was filled with my fist, and there are no more cracks. Should I take all of the bondo off, and fiberglass it, or go over it again with bondo? I'd rather not have it crack later on.

Or should I take it all off, and hammer it out as much as I can. The reason why I didn't is because it didn't look too deep of a dent before, but I guess I might do that.

Bondos strong though idf theres flaky paint it ll
crack later maybe as the bondos not very thick..
I like a light weight polyester filler called easy sand ..it
can be found at auto paint stores or on the net.

If you're concerned about cracking, use short strand reinforced fiberglass body filler. I just went through 1.25 gallons of the stuff fixing my car. Didn't use any of the non-reinforced stuff. Short strand goes on just about as easily as non-reinforced - you can't even see the fiberglass in it. It's about twice as much, but that only makes it ~$30/gal vs. ~$15. In addition to being stronger, it's waterproof. Evercoat's "Everglass" is short strand fiberglass and Kevlar reinforced.

I would remove all the old stuff both to be sure there isn't any rust hiding underneath and to straighten the panel more if needed.
