FAQs

Can I use this filler on wallpapered surfaces?

It is best used on bare plaster, plasterboard, wood, brick, or stone. Applying directly over wallpaper might lead to adhesion issues or damage the wallpaper when sanding.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies depending on layer thickness, temperature, and humidity. For thin layers, it typically dries enough to sand within a few hours.

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

Yes, the filler dries white and is suitable for painting over once fully dry and sanded.

Is this filler suitable for filling deep holes in walls?

For deep holes, apply the filler in layers no more than 6mm thick, allowing each layer to set before applying the next. Do not attempt to fill very deep holes in a single application.

What is the best way to store the filler?

Store in its original container with the lid firmly replaced in a cool, dry place. Protect from frost, as freezing can damage the product.

Do I need to seal it if I use it outdoors?

Yes, for exterior use, it is essential to seal the filled area with an oil-based paint to protect it from rain and water.

Can I use this filler on metal surfaces?

The product description specifies use on plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone. It is not recommended for metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too hard or dry in the tub

Ensure the lid was sealed properly after the last use. If slightly dry, try stirring vigorously. For very dry filler, it may be unusable.

Filler is shrinking significantly after drying

Apply the filler in thinner layers (max 6mm) and allow each layer to set completely before applying the next.

Sanding is difficult

Ensure the filler is fully dry before sanding. If still difficult, you may need to use a coarser grit sandpaper initially, followed by a finer grit for a smooth finish.

Filler is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint before application. Prime if necessary, especially on porous surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient ready-mixed formula saves time.
  • Suitable for a wide range of common building materials.
  • Can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects.
  • Achieves a smooth finish after sanding, ready for decoration.
  • Dries to a white color, making it easy to paint over.

Cons

  • Not suitable for areas that are constantly wet or submerged.
  • Exterior applications require sealing with oil-based paint for protection.
  • Requires multiple layers for deep fills, increasing project time.
  • Can be slightly proud of the surface when applied, requiring careful sanding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required; the filler is ready to use straight from the container. Ensure the surface to be filled is clean, dry, and free from dust before application. For larger areas, apply the filler in layers no thicker than 6mm, allowing each layer to set before applying the next. Overfill slightly to allow for sanding down to a fine finish.

Compatibility: This filler is compatible with plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone. For exterior use, it must be sealed with an oil-based paint to protect it from the elements. Do not use on surfaces that are regularly under water.

Care: After use, ensure the lid is replaced firmly to maintain the filler's consistency. Clean tools immediately with water before the filler begins to harden. Store the product in a location protected from frost.
