Couple notes from someone that uses Bondo regularly ouside of skating. 1. if youre using the bendable plastic spreaders you can 100% let bondo dry on them, its actually the easiest way to clean them. Let it dry, then bend the spreader back and forth. the bondo will pop off super clean 2. Sanding can be done with just paper, but to get the bondo to sand faster and more evenly use a sanding block so you can apply even and forceful pressure. fingers will infact, leave grooves. 3. Pros in a vest will have a clipboard with a notepad or legal pad on it to mix bondo on. this gives the worker an easy to clean "palet" to work from. when done just tear of the sheet and its clean. Plus it matches that nifty vest.
the cracks they filled at 3:30 are there so the entire slab doesnt break when it gets too hot and the slab expands. unless bondo is somehow flexible and "breathes" with the concrete then sure, i apologize.
Two way radio also. I had my ham radio walkie talkie clipped to the side of my belt and no one said anything when I was metal detecting this construction lot and digging up holes (which I filled after).
Yes, an orange vest let's you do all manner of things in plane sight, but only during working hours. A clip board also lends an air of legitimacy. Latex enhanced patching mix doesn't need color added.
Actually all you need is the vest and a hardhat or if your a nerd like me a 2 way radio outranks all that. Prankster Jack Vale did it with his UNCHAP series as an experiment. I did it for fun too. Works just fine at night as well. Construction happens at all hours.
I saw a video where I could see Michael Burnett in the background wearing an orange vest like that. I messaged him on Instagram and asked if he was doing that to avoid getting kicked out. He said (something like) "Yeah, it really works well too". I immediately ordered one, lol. It's in my camera bag now. It's super clutch.
It really just depends on how big the cracks are. You don't necessarily need to fill the entire length of the crack. Just fill the small section that you're actually rolling over. - Tim
not cool that the guy said to throw the tape into the bush...be respectful to the environment and other people and don't leave your trash behind. thanks.
We didn't say that in our video! But I know which tutorial you're referring to. Totally agree, don't litter your supplies and be respectful to the environment! 🌎✌ - Tim
It doesn't permanently affect the concrete. As the concrete expands and contracts, the bondo breaks loose far before the concrete develops any cracks. 👍
