Default Polystyrene v car body filler

I'm rather struggling with this so another question.

Caravan, alloy outer skin which is damaged and I need to repair it with
car body filler.

The problem is that car body filler is reputed to attack polystyrene
which is just behind the alloy skin and used for insulation. So I need
something to separate the two.

Your suggestions please.

Almost anyth8ing.

epoxy does NOT attack polystryrene by the way so you could use epocy
filler instead.

Other possibles include simply slipping a bit of newspaper or plastic
bag in the gash and pushing it about a bit to protect the polystyrene.
Even painting it with PVA and sticking brown paper on will work.
