you start to fill one hole,,, then you end up doing a frame off... this way is less work and none of that nasty bondo dust.
hey that foil tape is some good stuff,, but i like spray foam,, you can fill 6in by 6in holes with that and bondo right over it. for larger holes i use some thin aluminum siding, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA |
