Default Fusor

Hey guys. Is there any place to buy fusor that is cheap? I cant seem to find any unless its $75 per tube. I dont need much. I got a little too close to an electronic box that opens a gate and my gf's apartment and it hit my fender flare on my truck. It put a couple gashes in it so Im going to fill it with fusor, sand, and re-paint the flare. Any where to get the fusor cheap? I would use glazing putty but it doesnt work well on plastic.

Im not bonding anything to it. I talked to my autobody teacher that taught me in high school the other day and he said he would just use fusor to fill it so thats what I was planning on going with. What type of flexible fillers are good? I dont want something that will crack.

I asked my old autobody teacher how much it would be for him to get me some with his discount and he said its $60 with this discount and thats the fusor that has 2 tubes taped together that goes into the caulking gun. Everywhere else I have looked around here on my own has been about $75

Bdyman, Ill try to get a pic and put it on here and see what you think. When it rains it poors. Had to pay for this semester of college, ($2500) the fuel primer pump went out on the truck and its a dealer only part ($495) so I need to fix this as cheap as possible with it not being shitty.
