FAQs

How long does it take for the filler to dry?

The filler is workable for up to 10 minutes and dries within 30 minutes under normal conditions.

Can I use it on exterior wood?

Yes, Cuprinol Ultra Tough Wood Filler is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

What is the best way to clean up the filler?

Remove as much product as possible from the brush before cleaning with brush cleaner.

Is it suitable for filling large holes?

Yes, it can fill holes of any size or depth, but may require multiple applications for very deep holes.

Can I drill or screw into the filler?

Yes, once the filler has dried, it can be drilled, screwed, sanded, and painted.

What kind of paint can I use on the filler?

You can use most paints and wood stains, including those from Cuprinol and Dulux Trade Woodstains.

What is the shelf life of the product?

The shelf life depends on storage conditions. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is properly sealed.

Do I need to prime before painting?

While not always necessary, priming can improve paint adhesion and the final appearance. Consider priming if painting over a repaired area with a significant color difference.

Troubleshooting

Filler not hardening

Ensure the correct ratio of filler to catalyst is used. Make sure you've mixed the materials thoroughly.

Filler cracking after drying

The wood may be moving, or the hole may be too deep. Ensure proper surface prep and apply in thin layers if needed.

Poor adhesion

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Pre-treat with wood preserver for better adhesion.

Difficulty sanding

Allow the filler to fully dry (30 minutes) before sanding. Use appropriate grit sandpaper.

Color mismatch after painting

Test paint on a small, inconspicuous area. Consider using a primer or multiple coats of paint for better coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation:
  • Identify and remove any decayed wood.
  • Clean the area of repair, removing any loose paint, varnish, dirt or loose material.
  • If the wood is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly.
  • For best results, pretreat the area with Cuprinol wood preserver.
  1. Mixing the Filler:
  • Mix only what you can use in 10 minutes.
  • Mix the filler and catalyst paste using a spatula or putty knife.
  • Use a ratio of approximately a golf ball size of filler to a 40mm (1.5 inch) thread of catalyst paste.
  • Mix thoroughly until the color is uniform.

  1. Application:
  • Apply a thin coat of the mixed filler to the repair, pressing well for good adhesion.
  • Immediately fill the hole, leaving it slightly proud for sanding.
  • Allow the filler to set hard (about 30 minutes).

  1. Care Instructions:

  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the lid is tightly closed after use to prevent drying.
