All I can offer is having welded and will be welding today with a mig welder near bondo, the bondo does melt/pop when you weld, but I was told it's the heat of the welding.
Thanks guys for the replies. I was talking about doing the body work after welding with flux. I was told if you apply bondo over flux weld there is a chance that the flux could pop the bondo over time. I like the idea of using the co2, it sounds a little more expensive, but may be best in the long run. Thanks again
