This is U-POL's glass fibre bridging compound in the 1 litre tin: a strong polyester filler packed with glass fibre for bridging gaps and holes that standard filler cannot span. It is very good at filling gaps, is water resistant once cured, and suits one or two holes in a panel rather than a big project.

Good to know

• Where does it fit in the job? Standard body filler is not made to span holes; bridge a hole with a glass fibre filler first and finish over it with body filler.
• 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.
• How do I prepare the hole? Any repair material only holds as well as the surface under it, so sand back to clean, sound material and remove grease and dust first.
• Why won't it set? Cold slows the set of filler and resin, so work in a warm, dry place where you can.

Which one?
