Switched from Bondo to a different filler on a Ford F-150 repair

I always used Bondo for body filler jobs, but last week I tried out Rage Gold on a dented F-150 tailgate. The difference in how easy it was to sand down was night and day. No pin holes and it cured faster too. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed better results on bigger jobs?

Man I can barely sand anything right so I'll take all the help I can get.

Oh man, I feel you... I've ruined more wood than I've actually sanded smooth.

Hold on, hold on. Gotta push back a little here. Sanding is one of those things where rushing makes everything worse, so maybe having too many shortcuts is actually a bad thing. You end up with a surface that looks okay until you put a finish on it, then every scratch shows up like a neon sign. Real talk, learning to do it by hand with a block and some good paper teaches you way more about the wood grain than any fancy tool ever will. You'll get better results in the long run if you just slow down instead of looking for a magic fix.
