Make a "pastry bag" by dumping the mixed stuff into a sandwhich bag and cutting a corner off, squeeze the bondo into the hole and then smooth with a piece of cardboard. Better yet, have someone give you a hand. I lay out a whole pile of blanks and try to work like lightning... sometimes I win----sometimes I lose
