Trying to sculpt Bondo is near impossible. However, the pitfall with carving Bondo is all the little bubbles that will appear as you carve into it. I agree with Clarita about using Magic Sculpt. You can sculpt it, carve it, sand and polish it, and add on to it after it has set. I can't get it here in SD either, so I order it from The Complete Sculptor: http://www.sculpt.com/ Another solution is to make your piece out of whatever, mold it, cast a resin, sand, smooth, touch it up, make it perfect, then mold it a second time to make your master. Good luck!! Bowie
