Troubleshooting
Filler won't adhere to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Roughen smooth surfaces slightly if necessary.
Filler sags or collapses after application.
Apply in thinner layers, allowing each layer to set before adding the next, especially for deeper repairs. Ensure the initial surface is sound.
Filler cracks after drying.
This usually occurs with excessively deep fills. Apply in multiple thinner layers instead of one thick layer. Ensure the surface is stable and not prone to movement.
Surface is uneven after drying.
The product is designed for a no-sand finish, but if a slight imperfection remains, light sanding may be needed after full curing. For significant unevenness, reapply a thin layer and smooth carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the repair area is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For best adhesion, slightly roughen smooth surfaces. Apply the filler directly into the damaged area using a filling knife or spreader. For deeper holes or cracks, apply in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next. Smooth the final application to be level with the surrounding surface.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on plaster, drywall, wood, masonry, and painted surfaces. It is recommended to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on previously painted or varnished surfaces.
Care:
Store the filler in its original container with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing. Clean tools immediately after use with water. Once cured, the filler can be sanded if necessary (though often not required due to its smooth finish) and painted or wallpapered.
