DIY: Sheet Metal Repair & Patching
This slideshow video outlines how to repair sheet metal. This demonstration was done on a lawn tractor mower deck, but the same principles can be applied to auto body work on vehicles. Most auto body panels do use a thinner gauge steel, so when you welding, more care will have to be taken to reduce the amount of heat distortion. Removing the rusty soft/thin areas will allow for a solid area to weld the patch to. This also reduces the chance of having the welder burn through the existing steel. After the hole has been cut, you are now able to make a patch for the damaged area. For this I purchased similar gauge/thickness sheet metal. To bent the steel, I used a couple concrete blocks for weight, a propane torch to make the steel more pliable, and a hammer for forming. To cut the patch to size I used an angle grinder and a file for any fine fitting adjustments. The cuts in the one rounded patch allows for the piece to be bent into two different directions to match the contour of the mower deck. Grind the paint off around the area where the patch will be welded to. This will ensure that welder is able to arc on the existing surface properly. The tack welds hold the piece in place and allow me to align the patch to the existing surface. For the welding, I used a small flux core mig welder. Running small/short (approx. 1" length) welding beads reduces the amount of distortion within the sheet metal which is caused by excessive heat. This will have to be adjusted accordingly depending on the gauge/thickness of steel. For grinding down the welds I used the angle grinder with standard grinding disc for the higher areas and a flap disc to smoothen the surface. For paint, I used low gloss black farm equipment painted which I brushed on.

Fiberglass Resin Jelly (my experience) to repair rust in my car
I have used fiberglass resin in the past to repair rust holes in my car, these are common around the wheels, in truck cabs and other areas where road salt is a problem. I tried this new product from Bondo (a 3M company) called Fiberglass Resin Jelly. This product was very difficult to use with the fiberglass cloth and I do not think you can use it with the fiberglass mat because it is a thick cream and almost a paste. I had to butter the fabric on both sides and the working time was less than five minutes, I think I was wasting more fiberglass resin jelly than I was using. I found that the fiberglass resin jelly can be sanded in less than an hour. I am using the jelly formula as a base of my repair and will be using the liquid fiberglass resin to topcoat the repair with at least two more layers and most likely four to five layers in the largest repair area to have a strong repair. This repair will last longer than the car if the bad metal is removed, otherwise the rust will continue to grow under the fiberglass resin. This is a reasonable solution for rusted body panels on your car. Some people say that welding new metal into your car is the proper way to fix it. Keep in mind that cars are disposable and have no value beyond Kelly Blue Book, I found this out after my car was in a wreck and Progressive offered me less than what it would cost to get another car in reasonable running condition.
