It is made out of that fake concrete looking stuff. The stuff they make garden figurines out off. Do you think bondo would work on it

Ever since we’ve transitioned to a work from home set up, I’ve been trying to put together my dream office. I got the walls painted, wood floors resurfaced, and found good pieces of used furniture to try and be a little more green. I’m super excited to see how well your project works for me.

Hey Bonnie! I used homemade chalk paint with regular black latex paint.

Hey Tina!
Instead of filling in the hot glue mold with bondo, I used the hot glue mold to keep the bondo away from the area. So it’s just opposite of what I had been talking about.

Loved you post, but I’m not understanding the “reverse mold” method. Would you be able to give me more detail please?
Thanks!

Hey Amber!
It’s best to apply some type of primer over the Bondo, as well as the rest of the piece to create an even paint finish. I personally love to use this (affiliate link) shellac. If it isn’t super smooth with the wood that surrounds the Bondo, you will see an outline of where the Bondo is. So just make sure it is super smooth with the surface. Also, if your wood has a lot of grain to it, you can mimic the wood grain in the bondo by making little marks with a utility knife in the bondo. Hope that helps!
