FAQs
What is the working time of this wood filler?
Once mixed, the filler has a working time of approximately 30 minutes, after which it begins to set hard.
Can this filler be used for structural repairs?
While durable and strong, it is primarily designed for cosmetic repairs and filling defects. For structural load-bearing repairs, consult specific engineering guidelines.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The filler sets hard in about 30 minutes, but allow a few hours for full curing before heavy sanding, drilling, or painting to ensure optimal durability.
Is this filler suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is completely weatherproof and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Can I sand this filler?
Yes, once dry and fully cured, it can be drilled, carved, planed, and sanded.
What colors are available?
This is the Light Stainable variant. Other colors like Medium Stainable, Pine, Oak, Redwood, and Mahogany are also available in different sizes.
How should I store the mixed filler if I don't use it all?
Once mixed, the filler will begin to harden rapidly. It is best to mix only the amount needed for immediate application.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening or setting too slowly
Ensure the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined with the filler. Check storage conditions; extreme cold can affect setting.
Filler is too hard to work with immediately
You may have mixed too much hardener or the ambient temperature is very high. Work faster or mix smaller batches in the future.
Filler shrinks significantly after drying
This can happen with very deep repairs. Apply in thinner layers, allowing each to cure partially before adding the next, or use a larger batch to account for slight shrinkage.
Poor adhesion to the wood
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. Lightly abrading the surface can improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the damaged wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Abrade the area slightly for better adhesion.
Combine the filler and hardener in the correct ratio (typically provided with the product, usually a small amount of hardener to a larger amount of filler). Mix thoroughly on a clean, flat surface until a uniform color is achieved. Do not mix more than you can use within the working time.
Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a putty knife. Press firmly into the defect, slightly overfilling to allow for sanding.
Compatibility:
Suitable for all types of wood.
Compatible with most paints, varnishes, and lacquers once fully cured.
Ensure compatibility with any new finishes before application.
Care:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the filler and hardener.
Clean tools immediately after use with appropriate solvents (check product instructions, often cellulose thinners).
