A bond fill composition is provided that includes a part A including a curable resin having a degree of unsaturation, an inorganic hydrate filler present in an amount to confer fire suppression time of 60 seconds or less upon cure, and a monomer reactive diluent in which the curable resin is dissolved or suspended. A part B storage-separate, free-radical cure initiator package is provided that includes a free-radical cure initiator. A process for repairing a vehicle body includes mixing the part A with the part B to form a mixture. The mixture is applied to a substrate of the vehicle body in need of repair. Upon curing to form a fill, the vehicle body is repaired and the fill is a sandable surface.

A method of repairing a surface defect with a patch is provided. A fibrous substrate is impregnated with a formulation that includes a polyester resin, a crosslinking agent, a solvent, and a particulate filler. The fibrous substrate is contacted with the surface defect. The formulation is exposed to actinic radiation to induce cure of the formulation to form the patch to repair the surface defect. A kit is also provided that includes a bottle containing the formulation. A sheet of fibrous support material is also provided that is adapted to receive the formulation therethrough. Instructions for repairing a surface defect by the aforementioned method are also provided as part of the kit. 3D printing of an article to fit in the surface defect is also disclosed.
