FAQs

Can this wood filler be used for exterior repairs?

Yes, the Metolux 2 Part SF Wood Filler is weatherproof and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

How long does it take to cure?

Curing times vary depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product packaging or technical data sheet for specific guidelines, but generally, it cures to a sandable state within a few hours.

Can I paint over the filler once it's dry?

Yes, the filler accepts all known paint systems and varnishes once fully cured, allowing for seamless finishing.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unopened, it typically has a good shelf life when stored correctly. Once mixed, the working time is limited, and unused mixed product should be discarded.

Is this filler flexible?

While it provides a durable and hard-wearing repair, it is designed to be rigid once cured, similar to wood, rather than flexible.

How do I clean up tools after use?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with appropriate solvents. Refer to the product's safety data sheet or packaging for recommended cleaning agents.

What does 'SF' stand for in the product name?

'SF' typically stands for Styrene Free, indicating a formulation that does not contain styrene, which can have a strong odor and health considerations.

Troubleshooting

Filler does not harden or remains soft

Ensure the hardener and filler were mixed in the correct proportions. Check if the hardener is old or has been exposed to air. Re-mix and apply with fresh components if necessary.

Filler shrinks or cracks after drying

The repair area may have been too deep for a single application. Apply in thin layers, allowing each to cure partially before adding the next. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free of dust or contaminants.

Difficulty sanding

The filler may not have cured completely. Wait longer before attempting to sand. Ensure you are using appropriate grit sandpaper for the curing stage.

Poor adhesion to the wood

The wood surface might not have been clean or dry prior to application. Sand and degrease the surface before applying the filler. Remove any loose paint, varnish, or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong and durable repair suitable for demanding applications.
  • Versatile finishing options, accepting paint and varnish.
  • Can be used for interior and exterior projects.
  • Non-slump consistency aids in clean application.
  • Easy to sand for a smooth, professional finish.

Cons

  • Requires accurate mixing of two parts.
  • May have a limited shelf-life once opened.
  • Specific color matching might be challenging for some wood types if not using the exact shade.
  • Initial smell might be noticeable due to polyester composition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mixing: Ensure the hardener and filler are mixed in the correct ratio (typically specified on the product packaging or a separate datasheet). Mix thoroughly on a clean, flat surface until a uniform color is achieved. Avoid mixing large quantities at once, as the working time is limited.
  2. Application: Apply the mixed filler to the prepared, clean, and dry repair area using a suitable spreader or putty knife. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion and fill the defect completely.
  3. Curing: Allow the filler to cure fully. Curing time will vary based on temperature and humidity.
  4. Sanding: Once cured, sand the filled area smooth, starting with a coarser grit sandpaper and progressing to finer grits for a smooth finish.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on most wood types.
  • Accepts all known paint systems, varnishes, lacquers, and stains after curing.

Care:

  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
  • Ensure the tin is tightly sealed after use to maintain product integrity.
  • Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with appropriate solvents (refer to product data for specifics).
