FAQs

What is the best way to mix the two components?

Always refer to the product packaging for the precise mixing ratio and recommended mixing time. Typically, it involves combining a specific amount of filler paste with a smaller amount of hardener and mixing thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved.

How long does Bonda Wood Fill take to dry?

The drying time is rapid, usually within minutes to an hour depending on the thickness of the application and ambient conditions. Always consult the product's specific instructions for accurate curing times before sanding or finishing.

Can I use this filler on painted wood?

Yes, provided the painted surface is sound and free from flaking paint. Lightly abrade the painted surface for better adhesion before applying the filler.

Is this filler suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, its suitability for exterior applications depends on the specific environmental conditions and the subsequent finishing applied. For prolonged outdoor exposure, consider using fillers specifically designed for exterior use and ensure a robust, weather-resistant topcoat.

Can I stain over the filled area?

Once sanded smooth and fully cured, the filler can be stained. However, note that fillers may accept stain differently than natural wood, so always test on an inconspicuous area first to check for color match.

What is the weight of this product?

The weight of this specific product (BON18004) is approximately 1.41536772204 Pounds.

Troubleshooting

Filler not hardening properly

Ensure the two components were mixed in the correct ratio as per instructions. Check that the temperature is within the recommended application range and that the components were fully combined.

Filler is difficult to sand

Allow the filler to cure completely before sanding. If it's still too soft, the mixing ratio might have been incorrect. Ensure you are using appropriate sandpaper grit.

Filler shrinks significantly after drying

This can occur with deep fills. Apply in thin layers rather than one thick application. Ensure the wood surface is not excessively porous or absorbent.

Poor adhesion to the wood surface

Make sure the wood surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous finishes before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles.
  2. Measure and mix the two components of the Bonda Wood Fill according to the manufacturer's instructions. Accurate ratio is crucial for proper hardening and performance.
  3. Apply the mixed filler to the defect using a suitable putty knife or applicator.
  4. Smooth the filler level with the surrounding surface.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on most types of timber.
