Unfortunately not many hardware shops stock this. IF u buy from hardware shop, the cmmon ones is the fibre strand type. Not good for bodywork. The clay type cost about RM20 and in round flat can. There is a shop i know that has i in Taman Segar, which is a hardware shop. Jln Manis 2 i think in Cheras.

You can get them bondo from Ace Hardware also. They have several types.

if I go to the shop..then I'll ask for " simen kereta yg kasar" for the reddish looking clay ..and "simen kereta halus: for the yellow looing clay...the latter is s smoother clay and only suitable for the final surface ...also don;t forget the hardener ..comes free with your choice of simen kereta....

When u sandpaper it ...wrap the sandpaper in a block of square wood.. that will ensure that the area u are sand papering will be totally flat..if u use yer bare hands.. it'll not be so precise... also, use running water when u are sandpapering.. will be better
