Spackle or Bondo? Painting perfect kitchen cabinets

What happens here

Address smaller surface flaws such as nicks, dings, hairline cracks, seams, and other minor imperfections on the cabinet doors using Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty. First, squeeze a small amount of the putty onto a non-absorbent surface, like a piece of coated cardboard or a stir stick, to prevent it from drying too quickly. Then, using a clean putty knife, carefully spread a thin, smooth layer over each small imperfection until it's completely filled and flush with the surrounding surface. This application also extends to applying a 'backing' layer over any areas previously filled with spackle (after the spackle has dried and been sanded, a necessary interim step not explicitly shown but implied). This final layer of Bondo glazing putty provides a harder, more durable surface, essential for achieving an ultra-flat finish.

Goal: Fill all minor surface defects and provide a hard, ultra-flat finish over spackled areas

something to sand now there is smaller holes on here that i don't want to fill with spackle and why is that spackle is a lot softer than bondo glazing putty so these type of small holes it'll be easy for your sander to pull that out of there and not get an ultra flat finish so we want to take small nicks dings holes seams stuff like that we're going to use bondo glazing putty to do the filling on there it's going to put a dab of bundle glazing putty on you know a piece of cardboard anything could be a stir stick a piece of wood i like this cardboard right here because it's coated on the one side it doesn't cause the bondo to dry out so fast now i'm going to just begin filling my holes cracks seams with bondo glazing putty and then we'll let that dry it's probably going to take about 30 minutes for both these dry we'll sand it and then our spackled holes will be needed to be backed with one coat of bondo glazing putty and that's going to give you an amazing flat finish we're after the
