Where did you get them.  Seems like sometimes inexpensive is cheap.  Ours are guaranteed.

I would not use Bondo.  But I would use JB Weld available everywhere.

"great stuff" really is GREAT STUFF!

My shop is insulated with a similar type of thing... was amazing watching them apply that.

Silicone
I would not recommend this. Silicone will eventually break down throughout the rigors of the screenmaking cycles and bits may break off and mix with ink, possibly rendering it useless.

I have a couple like that and I 'retired' the screens to a job that comes up every now and then.  Example, the restaurant across the street needs a quick print when they get a new employee and I can print 6 shirts without much grief.
