Priming is not always necessary, but it can improve adhesion, especially on problematic surfaces. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose particles before applying the filler.

How should I store the remaining filler?

Store the remaining filler in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent it from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Filler is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Remove any loose particles or existing coatings. Consider priming the surface for better adhesion.
