U-POL's Glass Fibre Bridging Compound is a two-component polyester paste loaded with glass fibre, in a 1.85 litre tin, for spanning holes and rust damage in steel and GRP. It sets very hard and durable, yet can still be sanded and shaped, and can then be covered with ordinary polyester filler or painted directly.

Good to know

• What about the rust around the hole? Filler and resin do not stop rust, so grind rust back to clean, bright metal before you repair, or it keeps spreading underneath.
• Is it a structural repair? Rust in load-bearing parts of the body, such as near suspension or seat belt mounts, needs a proper repair, normally welding; filler or glass fibre there fails the MOT.
• Can I paint straight onto it? U-POL say yes, it can be painted directly, or skimmed with standard polyester filler first when you want a finer finish.
• How much should I mix at once? Mix only as much as you can spread in a few minutes, because once the hardener is in, polyester filler starts to set and can't be reworked.

Which one?

For a smaller 1 litre tin of U-POL glass fibre filler, UPOLB/2. Isopon's equivalent is P40 Glass Fibre, also in a 1.85 litre tin (P40/4).
