Letting Bondo sit around unpainted for 10 days would allow it to absorb moisture.
Not one body shop in the USA does that.

That would also make any repair at a pro body shop require a 2 week turnaround.
Not the case.

Body shops also use UV bake lights to reduce drying time to 20 mins.
They also use hardners in the paint, so curing time is days, not months, like in the old days.

Well that speaks volumes. Clearly what I would use... NOT. If you had half a clue you would be dangerous. You rank on others fro being know it all and yet you are a downer 365 24/7.

Didn't catch that. My friends son getting a lesson on what bad quickly rushed poor bodywork is and why it costs so much more fixing others shoddy work.

The pictures of that car are already showing what I said would. Give it time and it only gets worse.
