Alternate Patching Materials

It looks like a bunch of people are now patching their grills

From the posts and other threads I've read, people have found a few other products that will also work when patching the holes. I haven't tried these products out so I can't vouch for how easy they are to use, but they seem to be getting good recommendations:

Mar-Glass


Tiger Hair


Bondo Glass (there are a few different types & you can get it at most auto parts stores)


Duraglass


Please post up other products which may be stronger / easier to use

hmm i like the bondo

i drilled cuts on each side of the openings and put some metal plates through them so the bondo will not break, plus i would think it would be easier to use in the small places then fiberglass, jmo
