FAQs

How long does the Polycell Easy Sand Interior Filler take to dry?

The filler dries in approximately 3.5 hours per 5mm layer. However, this time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and the depth of the area filled.

Can I use this filler for exterior repairs?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use only and is not suitable for outdoor applications.

What surfaces can I use this filler on?

It is suitable for a wide range of interior building materials, including plaster, plasterboard, wood, brick, and stone.

How long is the filler workable after mixing?

The filler remains workable for up to 1.5 hours, depending on ambient conditions such as temperature and humidity.

How should I clean my tools after use?

Clean tools and utensils immediately after use in warm water to prevent the filler from hardening on them.

What is the best way to prepare a surface before using the filler?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease. Remove loose material. Seal highly absorbent or powdery surfaces beforehand and paint over rust-prone metal fixings with an oil-based paint.

Why is it recommended to use two top coats of paint?

Using two top coats can help reduce the visibility of the filled area through the paint, leading to a more uniform finish, especially on textured surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Filler is difficult to mix or apply smoothly.

Ensure you are using the correct mixing ratio (2 parts filler to 1 part water). Use clean tools and mix thoroughly to a smooth paste. If too dry, add a tiny amount of water; if too wet, add a little more powder.

Filler cracks or shrinks significantly after drying.

This can occur with very deep fills. Apply in multiple thinner layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Ensure the surface is not too absorbent and has been properly prepared.

Filler remains soft or gummy after the stated drying time.

Drying times are dependent on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and layer depth. Thicker layers or high humidity will increase drying time. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Filler is difficult to sand.

Ensure the filler is completely dry before attempting to sand. If it's still wet or partially cured, it will be gummy and hard to sand. Allow more drying time.

Paint or wallpaper does not adhere well to the filled area.

Ensure the filler is fully dry and has been sanded smooth. For very absorbent surfaces, consider applying a primer or sealer to the filled area before decorating.

Mixing and Application:

  1. For mixing, use a ratio of 2 parts filler to 1 part water by volume.
  2. Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth paste. Adjust with small amounts of water or powder if needed.
  3. Apply using a filling knife, smoothing off with a wet blade for a neat finish.

Tool Cleaning:

  • Clean all tools and utensils immediately after use with warm water to prevent the filler from hardening.
