Nonsense. Bondo is a two-part polyester resin, with various fillers of which
talc is only one of several. Polyester resin isn't the same thing as putty.
Bondo includes a hardener. Putty doesn't.



Can it be primed with something like Kilz, or does it need something
special?


I've used Bondo several times before, for exactly the purpose you're
proposing, and it's worked well. I always used an oil-based primer on it. No
idea if a latex primer would work or not, but it sure oughta be primed with
something.
