ISOPON Body Repair Kit For Holes 

It's not abaut the kit itself it's abaut that if you cut metal away you HAVE to put in a new metal part not just a pice of "foil" and body filer the paint will start bubeling and the metal WILL start to rust

@@minikmetija1905 what metal will rust? And wait for the filler to harden properly before you paint it?

I am a body worker and when it starts to rust it dosen't matter that you sanded it away the rust is already in the metal that is why you need to cut araund the rusted part to cot away any rust whitin the metal itself. That is my experiance as a car body worker. I am doing it for some time and speaking from experiance. Plese do not think i am talking shit abaut your video

@@minikmetija1905 I understand what you mean now. They did cut away all the rusted metal in the video. You say you should put solid metal in the hole rather than mesh but I don't think the filler would hold as well onto a flat surface than it would to a mesh and the filler should be hard enough not to need it?

@@spinach4949 as i alredy told you i am a car schooled car body and paint worker and if you sanded the metal patch whit 60-80 grid sand paper it will be on ther for as long as the metal dosen't rust again. But i understand the perspective of a DIY man and the differance is deffenetly the price and the end result, plus to do a proper repair you need a welder and considering the price i understend your way of repair. Please understend that all i am doing is explaining the proper method i was thot and taking intho consideration i restored multiple vintage cars i can say i have some experience.

Hmmm... I guess this guy didn't think of that.

I have the same issue. The back of where the hole/rust is cannot be accessed to attach the mesh. The job itself looks straight forward, I'm just at a loss as to how to create a backing to apply the fibreglass....

Well that's dangerous 😬

Hi Evan, The aerosol provided in this kit will contain a small metal ball, this will potentially have settled at the bottom of the can along with some of the base product - shaking the can in an up and down motion will release this ball and ensure that complete mixing of the base with the propellant to give the required product application.

The mesh HAS to go behind the hole, so you have to get behind the panel somehow. If you can't do that, your only option is to forget about body filler entirely and repair the hole by welding in a new piece of steel (which some will argue is the only proper body repair anyway).

Types of fillers vary in their chemical composition and therefore need different amounts of hardener to ensure they cure (set) correctly.

Hi Juza, A repair to a sharp curve should be possible, it will just be more tricky to shape and apply the P40 filler to the aluminium mesh. Shaping the repair whilst sanding will probably also be more time consuming than a flat repair.

Yes, because the tape is the only thing holding all of these together lol

Thread a thin piece of wire through a number of the holes in the mesh, put the mesh into the hole and pull from the outside. Then follow the rest of the video.

@@TheDutyPaid thank you! Will try that!

Yes, you will need to use the primer provided. Allow it to dry, sand to a perfect finish and then apply the color of your choice.

U-POL thank you, I will buy a kit.

Hi Katarzyna, No this isn't suitable for plastic unfortunately, we have Isopon Plastic Filler for use on plastic substrates. Hope it helps

Big homie Dax Pull off the fender

BlueKj doesn't come off its part of the back of the car

the car is what your fixing isn't it??? duuuuueee

that's a valid question..

Hi Trent, Repairing a hole from the front can be done. You will need to tap the edges of the hole to create a slight recess for the mesh to sit in - this will then allow the mesh to sit level with the metal substrate. Hope it helps

Is the mesh magnetic? Could you use that to help pull it towards the body

@@UPOLRaptor how is the mesh fixed in place?

ofc

Of course not, take the bumper of don't be lazy

@Jonathan English aha I see what u mean now, you can, check a comment in one of them he explains how to

@Jonathan English no problem I hope it works out for you good luck

To apply the mesh to the front of the hole, you have to use a hammer to intentionally dent the area around the hole and create a "recess" for the mesh to sit in, so that the surface of the mesh is flush with (or even fractionally below) the surface of the rest of the panel.

That's why you use the finer grit sandpaper, and the sanding block.

As said, you have to use finer and finer grits of sandpaper to get back to a perfectly smooth surface. It takes time and elbow grease.
