FAQs
What is the working time of Bonda Wood Fill?
The working time varies depending on temperature, but it is designed for rapid hardening, typically allowing for sanding within a short period after application. Always refer to the product packaging for specific timings.
Can Bonda Wood Fill be used outdoors?
While durable, Bonda Wood Fill is primarily intended for interior wood applications. For exterior use, ensure the finished product is thoroughly protected with a suitable exterior-grade sealant or paint.
How much filler do I mix at a time?
Only mix the amount of filler you can comfortably apply within its working time. Overmixing or mixing too much can lead to premature hardening.
What is the weight of the product?
The product weighs approximately 1.41536772204 pounds.
Can I paint or stain over Bonda Wood Fill?
Yes, once fully cured and sanded smooth, Bonda Wood Fill provides an excellent base for most paints, primers, varnishes, and stains. The oak colour helps in achieving a consistent finish.
What is the manufacturer of this product?
The manufacturer is Bonda.
Is this product suitable for structural repairs?
No, Bonda Wood Fill is designed for cosmetic filling of defects and imperfections, not for structural load-bearing repairs.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too hard to apply or does not spread evenly.
This usually indicates the mixture has been left too long after combining the two components. Ensure you mix only what you can use within the working time and apply it immediately.
Filler remains soft or tacky after application.
Check that the two components were mixed in the correct ratio as per the product instructions. Ensure both parts were thoroughly combined.
Sanding creates dust but doesn't smooth the surface.
The filler may not have fully cured. Allow additional drying time. If problems persist, ensure the correct sandpaper grit is being used; start with a coarser grit and move to finer grits for finishing.
Filler shrinks significantly after hardening.
Deep or large voids may require filling in multiple layers. Allow each layer to cure partially before applying the next to minimize shrinkage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the work area is clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Mix the two components of Bonda Wood Fill according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Typically, this involves combining a specific ratio of the filler base and the hardener on a clean, non-porous surface. Apply the mixed filler promptly to the defect using a suitable spatula or filling knife, pressing it firmly into the void.
Compatibility: Bonda Wood Fill is designed for use on bare wood. It adheres well to most types of wood, including hardwoods and softwoods. It is compatible with most common finishing products such as primers, paints, varnishes, and stains once fully cured.
Care: Store unused components in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean tools immediately after use with appropriate solvents as recommended by the manufacturer, or with water if specified. Ensure the product is completely cured before applying any finishes.
