I recently purchased a Korean Fender strat from a friend in attempt to strip off the old paint & add new paint,this is what I found? (james bondo? maybe? nahhh) any ideas as to what it is & where i can get some? Looks like a type of bondo , with maybe a pore filler or ahhhh don`t know, thanks for all the help guys

Hey, I seen that gee-tar.

Thanks Hesh it just so happens that my dad had the Dan Earlywines guitar video , were he was useing a bondo called Freeman tuf-fil. thanks for the help

could also be Durhams rock hard wood putty. Comes in a tall round container. Mix with water, very hard, hense the name, can't stain it, but it does take paint. but then it could be bondo left over from the old chevy
Mike

could also be a heavy siller/sealer. Fender used to use Fullerplast which
was very high solid content. Check out the link about 3rd of the way
down...

    Yea! It could be sanding filler! It's a easy sanding bondo that's used in autobody repair. Comes in all kinds of colors but a light green is all I have seen, personally.

    The filler looks kind of like pistachio ice cream! Don't eat any though, trust me!
