FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need tools such as sandpaper, a wire brush, body filler, mixing sticks, a spreader, and possibly tape or clamps to secure the mesh.

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

No, this product is designed for use on metal car bodies only.

How do I cut the mesh?

Use tin snips or heavy-duty scissors to cut the aluminium mesh.

What type of body filler should I use?

Any standard body filler designed for auto body repair can be used. Follow the filler's instructions.

How long does the repair last?

If properly applied, the repair should last for years, providing a durable and rust-resistant solution.

Can I paint directly over the mesh?

No, you must apply body filler over the mesh, sand it smooth, prime, and then paint.

Is the mesh reusable?

No, once the mesh is used and covered with filler, it is not reusable.

Troubleshooting

Body filler not adhering to the mesh.

Ensure the metal surface is clean and free of rust before applying the mesh. Consider using an adhesion promoter.

Filler cracking after application.

Make sure the mesh is properly secured and the filler is applied in thin layers, allowing each layer to cure before adding the next.

Rust reappearing after repair.

Thoroughly remove all rust before applying the mesh. Consider using a rust inhibitor on the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Clean the damaged area thoroughly. Remove any loose rust, paint, or debris to ensure the mesh bonds correctly. Use sandpaper or a wire brush to create a clean surface.
Cutting: Measure and cut the Isopon Aluminium Mesh Sheet to a size that covers the damaged area with some overlap.
Application: Position the mesh over the damaged area, ensuring it's flush against the metal. Use tape or other methods to secure it.
Filler Application: Apply body filler over the mesh, following the filler manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the filler is pressed firmly into the mesh to create a strong bond.
Curing & Sanding: Allow the filler to cure completely. Sand the filler smooth, matching the surrounding panel contours.
Painting: Prime and paint the repaired area to match the car's original finish.

*Compatibility:* Isopon Aluminium Mesh is compatible with most common body fillers, bridging compounds, and glass fiber kits.

*Care:* Store the mesh in a dry place. Clean tools immediately after use.
