Troubleshooting
Filler is too stiff or dry
Add a few drops of water and mix thoroughly. For best results, use directly from the container.
Filler shrinks significantly after drying
Apply in multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Slightly overfill the initial application.
Filler is difficult to sand
Ensure the filler is completely dry. If it's still gummy, it may not be fully cured. Allow more drying time.
Stain or paint does not adhere evenly
Ensure the surface is properly sanded and clean before applying finishes. Test stain/paint on a scrap piece of filled wood first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the area to be filled is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Sanding lightly can improve adhesion.
- Application: Apply the filler directly into the damaged area using a putty knife. Press firmly to ensure it fills the void completely, slightly overfilling to allow for shrinkage during drying.
- Drying: Allow the filler to dry thoroughly. Drying time will vary based on the depth of the fill and environmental conditions (typically a few hours for thin applications, longer for deeper fills).
Compatibility:
- This filler is compatible with most types of unfinished wood.
- It is designed to be compatible with water-based and oil-based paints and stains.
Care:
- Storage: Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep from freezing.
- Cleanup: Clean tools and spills immediately with soap and water while the filler is still wet. Dried filler may require scraping or sanding.
