FAQs

Can this wood filler be used outdoors?

Yes, Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler is designed to last for years and withstand harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for exterior use.

How deep can I fill with this product?

This filler can be applied to fill damage to any depth in a single application, eliminating the need for multiple layers.

What happens after the filler dries?

Once cured, the filler is tough and durable. It can be drilled, screwed, or planed, allowing you to work it like natural wood for finishing.

Do I need to mix anything with the filler?

Yes, this is a chemically bonded filler that requires a catalyst to be mixed with it for proper hardening and performance. Always follow the mixing instructions.

Can I paint over the filler?

Yes, once fully cured, the filler can be painted, varnished, or stained to match the surrounding woodwork.

How should I store the wood filler?

Store the tub with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, to maintain its quality for future use.

What is the shelf life of this product?

While not specified, always check the batch code or best-before date on the packaging. Proper storage in a resealable tub helps maximize its usable life.

Troubleshooting

Filler not hardening or curing properly

Ensure the correct ratio of filler and catalyst was used and that they were mixed thoroughly. Verify that the product has not exceeded its shelf life. Check storage conditions as extreme temperatures can affect performance.

Filler shrinks or cracks after application

This is unlikely with a high-performance filler, but if it occurs, ensure the void was completely filled without air pockets. For very deep repairs, ensure the product's 'fills to any depth' claim is being utilized correctly without over-application in a single stage if specific depth limitations exist. Check if the wood substrate is stable.

Difficulty in sanding or shaping

Allow the filler to cure fully before attempting to sand or shape. Ensure you are using appropriate sanding grit and tools. If still difficult, the product may have been applied too thickly or in conditions affecting cure time.

Product is too stiff to mix or apply

This can happen if the lid was not sealed properly during storage. Ensure the product is at room temperature. If severely hardened, it may be past its usable life.
