Been using Bondo for years. sets up quick, can be worked after 15-30 minutes and is fully harded after 24 hours. A good trick is to drill for, place and epoxy in body weights before trimming ends, overfill the hole and let the bondo set 15-30 minutes, re-chuck it in the lathe, trim the lure using your duplicator and final sand.
