FAQs
Can I use Tetrion Smart Filler on metal pipes?
No, this product is not suitable for use on plastic or metal surfaces.
How long should I wait before painting with an oil-based paint?
You should wait at least 12 hours before applying oil-based paints to the filler.
Do I need to sand the surface after applying the filler?
Because the formula is super smooth, it requires little to no sanding, especially if applied with a wet blade.
Can I use this filler outdoors?
Yes, but you must ensure it is protected with an exterior grade paint once dry.
Does the filler shrink after it dries?
No, the Tetrion Smart Filler is specifically designed not to shrink, crack, or slump.
How do I ensure the product stays fresh between uses?
Always replace the internal polythene seal and secure the lid tightly. Store in an upright position and protect from frost.
Troubleshooting
Filler consistency is too stiff or dry in the pot.
Add a few drops of water to the filler and mix thoroughly until you reach the desired consistency.
Paint is not adhering correctly to the surface.
Ensure you are using the correct paint type; water-based paints require 15 minutes of drying, while oil-based paints require 12 hours.
Screws or nails are not holding in the filler.
Verify that you have allowed at least 24 hours for the filler to reach maximum strength, or up to 3 days for very deep holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of any loose debris. For wood surfaces, ensure all decayed material is removed and the timber is completely dry. If the filler appears too dry during use, you can revive the consistency by adding a few drops of water.
After application, always replace the inner polythene seal and ensure the outer lid is tightened securely to prevent the product from drying out. Store the container upright in a cool, dry place and protect it from frost. For external applications, always finish the repair with an exterior-grade paint to provide necessary weather protection.
