My getaway comp tip has a lot of play within the mast and I've been reading that bondo is a good fix to bond the two back together. My question is which bondo is everyone talking about just regular every day bondo such as this:

or are we talking a putty such as:

Trying to get this cat ready for the water
Thanks for the help!

I'm not familiar with the one in the tube. I use the two part... rock solid.

Thanks Matt! ill pick some up from the first link. The only thing I'm still confused about is how bondo is going to bond the 2 together? or does the bondo just act as a shim essentially.

Mostly a solid shim.
