i have a hole in my interior quarter panel. Instead of replacing the the whole thing im trying to find a product that will fill plastic holes.
im just gonna sand and paint it, since they already have nasty plastic bends/ scrapes.

will bondo stick to plastic? and products that will?

im a poor 17 year old who needs somthing to do..

JB weld makes a plastic compound that will stick to plastic and urethanes.
you could also fiberglass, but you wont have that textured look to match the rest of the panel. unless you sand everything in the car smooth and paint it, it's going to look like ass

I've seen a Bondo product that's made specifically for repairing flexible plastic body pieces. Ideally, I think they have bumper and exterior trim plastics in mind, but I don't see why you couldn't use something like that on the interior. It's a two-part epoxy that comes in a syringe kinda dispenser thingy. Saw it for sale at Checker Auto, but I'm sure other places carry it, as well.

Alternatively, JB Weld and/or JB Kwik will work on interior plastics. If you're patching a hole larger than 1", I'd just buy some of that QuikSteel Plastic putty epoxy, squish that out by hand until you've formed a pancake of sorts that will cover the hole, and then do your best to blend that in around the edges...

...or just hunt the boneyards for a replacement panel, paint it to match (if necessary), and call it done.
