Product Information

Full details

The Metolux 2 Part Styrene Free Wood Filler is designed for woodworkers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-strength, durable solution for repairing wood imperfections. Its primary benefit is a rapid-setting, weatherproof formula that flexes with the natural expansion and contraction of timber, making it suitable for both interior and exterior projects. The primary caveat is that because it is a two-part system, users must work quickly once the hardener is added, as the pot life is limited.

FAQs

Can I paint over Metolux Wood Filler?

Yes, this filler is designed to accept paint, varnish, or topcoats effectively once it has been sanded smooth.

Is this filler suitable for large holes?

Yes, because it is a two-part structural filler, it is excellent for large repairs, though it should be built up in layers.

Does this product shrink after it dries?

It has minimal shrinkage compared to water-based or single-part fillers due to its polyester-based chemistry.

Can I use this on vertical surfaces?

Yes, the consistency is designed to be thick enough to stay in place on vertical or even overhead surfaces without sagging.

How long does it take to cure?

In standard temperatures (20°C), it typically sets within 20-30 minutes, allowing for sanding shortly thereafter.

Troubleshooting

Filler remains tacky and will not harden

Insufficient hardener was added or the components were not mixed thoroughly. Scrape out the uncured material and re-apply with a higher ratio of hardener.

Filler is setting too fast

You are using too much hardener or working in a very hot environment. Reduce the amount of hardener and keep the filler out of direct sun.

Surface cracking after drying

The filler was likely applied too thickly in one pass. For deep holes, apply in two stages, allowing the first to set before adding the second.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely high strength and structural integrity
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
  • Excellent resistance to cracking due to flex-additive technology
  • Minimal shrinkage compared to traditional wood fillers

Cons

  • Short working time (pot life) once hardener is mixed
  • Requires precise mixing ratios of filler to hardener
  • Not intended for staining as it does not absorb wood stain like raw timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris, oils, or waxes.
  2. Mixing: Place a golf-ball-sized amount of filler onto a mixing board and add a small ribbon of the provided hardener. Mix thoroughly until the color is uniform.
  3. Application: Apply using a steel or plastic putty knife. Press firmly into the repair to remove air pockets.
  4. Finishing: Once cured, the filler can be sanded with medium to fine-grade abrasive paper to match the surrounding profile.
  5. Care: Store the filler and hardener in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure lids are tightly sealed to prevent the base from curing prematurely due to air exposure.
