This is WTF kids sized ab armor I picked up for my son.  I'm converting it over to a Sandy.  I removed the button cover and have some work to do to fill the holes.  I'm not looking for perfection.  What works best?  ABS paste?  Something else?

Also, you'll have to remove the vertical buttons being the TD uses a 3 button panel.

I have had success with silicon, bondo and abs paste, all have their pros and cons, just depends how handy you are. For any of them you will need to put something behind, either tape or glue a scrap piece of abs before trying to fill the hole/s. With bondo or abs paste you will have the ability to sand, bondo dries a lot quicker but abs would be stronger

ABS paste is the best, simply because it the same material which cuts down on repair time. ( If you use it correctly )<br>

Used sparingly it doesn't require much clean up other than sanding and polishing. If you use clean offcuts from your build it can produce a near perfect finish. <br><br>

Watch for vapors - I always use a mask in well vented area.
