Isopon P.40 Body Filler For Holes

Isopon P.40 Body Filler For Holes

The Isopon P.40 Body Filler for Holes (600ml) is a high-strength, fibreglass-reinforced body filler designed specifically to repair holes and rust damage in automotive and metal surfaces. Engineered to repair holes up to 75mm wide, this filler offers excellent adhesion and forms an ultra-tough, long-lasting bond with most metals, making it ideal for structural repairs where added strength is essential.

Its thick, durable consistency is ideal for bridging gaps, reinforcing weak areas, and building up damaged panels. Once cured, P.40 can be sanded smooth and overcoated with conventional body fillers (e.g., Isopon P.38) or primers for a seamless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Can I use P.40 on plastic or fiberglass panels?
A1: P.40 is designed specifically for use on metal. For plastic or fiberglass surfaces, consider using a plastic-compatible filler.

Q2: Do I need to use a finishing filler after P.40?
A2: Yes. P.40 is a structural filler and may not sand to a perfectly smooth finish. For best results, apply a smooth finishing filler like Isopon P.38 on top before painting.

Q3: Is the hardener included in the 600ml kit?
A3: Yes, the product includes the appropriate amount of BPO (benzoyl peroxide) hardener.

Q4: How thick can I apply the filler in one go?
A4: P.40 can be applied in layers up to around 5–6mm thick. For deeper repairs, build up in layers, allowing each to cure before applying the next.

Q5: How soon can I sand or paint over the filler?
A5: Typically, sanding can begin after 20–30 minutes. Painting should follow once the filler is fully cured, sanded, and primed.

Q6: Is it waterproof?
A6: Once cured and overcoated with primer and paint, the repair will be water-resistant and suitable for exterior use.
