Fibrefix Fibreglass Body Filler is a premium glass-strand filled body filler with excellent build and repair properties for bridging holes and rust damage.
This innovative and highly diverse repair product is developed from processed short strands of fibreglass and is an extremely simple and easily workable product to shape and apply, making it the ideal solution to both large and small repair zones.
The product is a high-quality two-part polyester body filler, designed specifically for dealing with deep filling and scenarios which require the bridging of holes. Fibrefix has excellent adhesive qualities making it universally applicable across a range of common body work repairs.
