I looked high & low for white cream hardener at all the auto supply places around here.  I couldn't find it anywhere.  I contacted the Bondo web site people & they haven't gotten back to me. 

The couple who owns the local Maaco shop, I asked him if he had any white cream hardener for Bondo.  He told me that he doesn't even use Bondo but he does use this other stuff as a body filler.  He gave me some of the white hardener for it.  I figured I'd give it a shot.  I mixed it with my regular Bondo & filled a mold I made of a horn.  This stuff didn't get hot like Bondo usually does.  It seems to be just as hard too even though I only had their hardener to mix with Bondo & not their regular filler.

I wonder if it would be good for making molds etc for fish because it didn't get hot that I could feel. 

Have any of you ever tried it?  Here's their web site: http://www.catalystforprofit.com

If you've used it with success, or failure, could you please holler?  Thank you so much~:)~

Thank you both Bill & Bandit.  Sure enough Bill...WASCO says "DB53  Large Tube White Hardener  2 3/4 oz.  $3.95"  Thank you.  I don't know why I didn't see it.  When I need more, I'll order from them...along with all the other stuff I get there.

I looked at Home Depot & Lowe's but the ones around here didn't have any...and the Lowe's guy responsible for that section said he didn't know if they'd get any.  They had red hardener and clear hardener for the liquid Bondo.  I'm glad WASCO has it. 

I wonder if any other forum members have tried this Catalyst Systems stuff.  I don't like the heat that Bondo makes while it cures.
