HELP! bondo got wet!

well its not bondo, its made for urethane. its not time to get the car painted but today it lightly rained and now its dark and cold and theres condensation all over the car.

i was told filler cant get wet. it absorbs moisture. what should i do? and how can i protect it? can i spray a coat of primer over it to last until paint day?

I wouldnt seal it with primer untill its dry. Let it dry out and then seal it with primer.

I agree. Take as long as is going to take to completely dry. Painting over it like thay will stress crack later

Let it dry out in the daytime and do what you can to keep it from getting condensation on it at night. I put a car cover on my car after I wash it to keep it from getting morning dew all over it. That should cut down on some of the accumulation.
