FAQs
Is the Toupret Finish Filler suitable for exterior use?
No, this specific Toupret Finish Filler is designed for interior use only.
Can I apply this filler in thick layers?
The maximum recommended application thickness is up to 5mm per coat. For deeper imperfections, multiple thinner layers may be required.
How long does it take for the filler to be ready for painting?
The ready to paint time is typically between 12 to 24 hours, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Do I need to prime the surface before using this filler?
No, the Toupret Finish Filler is designed to be applied directly to most surfaces without the need for priming or sealing.
What is the working time for this filler?
There is no limit to the working time, meaning you can apply it at your own pace without it drying out prematurely.
What temperature and humidity should I avoid when applying?
Do not apply at a temperature below +8°C or above +35°C, nor at a relative humidity over 70%.
How do I clean my tools after use?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with water.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too stiff or difficult to spread.
Ensure the filler has not been stored for an extended period or exposed to extreme temperatures. If slightly stiff, a small amount of water might be carefully added and mixed, but use sparingly to avoid compromising adhesion.
Cracking or shrinkage after application.
This may occur if applied thicker than the recommended 5mm. Apply in thinner layers, allowing each to dry, or ensure the surface is not excessively porous if not primed (though priming is not strictly required, it can help on very porous surfaces).
Filler is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Check that application temperatures are within the recommended range (+8°C to +35°C).
Long drying times.
Drying times are dependent on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Ensure good ventilation in the application area to aid drying. Avoid applying in very humid conditions (>70% relative humidity).
