Never used Bondo on a spoil board, I just replace them. But there is Bondo patches in the plastic table overlay. Not from my mistakes, I bought the machine used. But it does work well.
Wonder if anybody else has used bondo auto body filler to re-surface a worn spoilboard. I have done this several times now and am really happy with the result. I simply (and quickly) mix up so of the filler and slap it onto the spoilboard rough spots and let it cure. In minutes, you can flycut a new surface with ease. In the picture attached I am doing a bigger machine with a particle board spoilboard, but I have a small machine at home and it has a spoilboard made of solid surface countertop and the bondo re-finishes it as well. The bond seems to be great and it cuts like butter. Not too expensive either.

I've used epoxy with lightweight filler for accidental deep gouges. Basically the same as bondo, but harder, and bonds better.
