I always wondered myself how well this works? - The lettering that is being filled in is VERY shallow so there is only a thin layer of filler.

I know how hard it is to get my FRC's on, and the way I have to flex mine - I would be afraid that the filler would just pop right out of the lettering indentations. Do you normally drill small holes in the lettering indentations to get the filler to grip the area better?

Well I went to 2 Autozone's, 2 Pepboy's and 1 Murray's Auto Parts and they did not have DuraBond plastic filler or Dynalite. They did have Bondo's "Quick Fix" but from what the label said I was not sure if that is exactly what I was looking for, Mustang5.Ohater have you have any problems with it? What I ended up with was Dynatron Epoxy Repair Kit for Flexible Body Parts. Does that sound like would like it would work, it is just epoxy resin and hardener that you mix, it says it can be used to fill gouges,tears, cracks, or deep imperfections.

1QUIKWS6..... Get some sanding paper and roughen up the lettering.

JPWS6..... no problem with it I was really amazed at how it comes out when it cures.
