    Bob you just taught me some thing new. I did'nt know about sealing the back of a repaired fenders but it makes good sence. I never took any body work classes, just mainly watched some friends. Did learn a few things on my own though, trail and error type deal. I did notice that some of the old cars I bought with bondo work done mostly poped out after a while, just like you said. So I used a fiber filler and treated the rust as well before doing any filler work. I guess thats why the old bondo was poping out, because the back of the fender was not sealed where they drlled holes to pull the dent out. the old bondo would act just like a sponge and absorb all the water it could and pop right out. I was wondering how that water was getting thru the paint, HE! HE! I fell like a real idiot now, Oh well live and learn. Now I'm going to have to say what I've learned in Bob's body class 101. thanks.
