FAQs

Can I use this filler for large holes?

Yes, for larger holes, it is recommended to apply the filler in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next. This prevents excessive shrinkage and ensures a strong bond.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying and curing times vary depending on the temperature and humidity. Typically, it can be sanded and over-coated within a few hours, but full curing may take longer.

Is this filler suitable for outdoor furniture?

Yes, the formulation is weatherproof and designed for both interior and exterior applications, making it suitable for outdoor furniture.

Can I paint over the filler?

Absolutely. The filler accepts all finishes, including all known paint systems and varnishes, once it is fully cured.

Does it come in different colors?

Yes, Metolux offers this wood filler in various pre-coloured blends to match different wood types. The 'Redwood' variant is one specific color option.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, the product generally has a long shelf life. Refer to the packaging for specific date information.

How do I clean up after using the filler?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent while the filler is still wet. Once hardened, it can be difficult to remove.

Troubleshooting

Filler not hardening or curing slowly

Ensure the correct ratio of filler to hardener was used. Check that the components were mixed thoroughly. Ambient temperature may be too low; try to work in a warmer environment.

Filler is too hard to work with immediately after mixing

The hardener may have been mixed in too quickly or in excessive amounts. Ensure precise measurements are followed. Avoid over-mixing.

Filler shrinks significantly after application

This can occur if applied too thickly in a single application. For deep repairs, apply in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next. Ensure the correct product ratio is used.

Poor adhesion to the wood surface

The wood surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint/varnish before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion to wood substrates.
  • Suitable for a wide range of repairs, from small chips to larger gouges.
  • Durable and long-lasting repairs for both interior and exterior projects.
  • Can be worked and finished like natural wood once cured.
  • Available in various wood-matching colors.

Cons

  • Requires accurate mixing of the two parts for proper curing and performance.
  • Curing time can be influenced by temperature and humidity.
  • May require specialized tools for application and cleanup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, accurately measure and mix the two components (filler and hardener) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Work the mixture on a clean, dry surface. Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a suitable spreader, pressing it firmly into the void. Smooth the surface as much as possible before it begins to harden.

Compatibility: This wood filler is compatible with most standard paint systems, varnishes, and wood stains. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material before application. It adheres well to most wood types.

Care: Store the product in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep out of reach of children. Clean tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent if the filler is still wet.
