Product Information
Full details
This Metolux One Part Wood Filler in Mahogany is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to quickly repair small imperfections in wood, MDF, and chipboard. Its key benefit is a fast-drying, creamy formula that's easy to apply and sand, offering a smooth finish ready for paint or varnish. A potential caveat is its suitability for repairs below 5mm depth, making it less ideal for larger structural damage.

FAQs
What is the maximum depth this filler can be used for?
This Metolux One Part Wood Filler is designed for filling cracks and pinholes with a depth of less than 5mm.
Do I need to mix this filler before use?
No, this is a one-part filler, meaning it comes ready to use straight from the pack. No mixing is required.
Can I paint or varnish over the filler?
Yes, the filler accepts all known paint systems and varnishes once it has dried and been sanded smooth.
Is this filler suitable for exterior use?
The product information indicates it is ideal for interior use due to its very low odour. Its suitability for exterior use is not specified and may be limited.
How should I store the remaining filler?
Store the filler in its original plastic screw-lid packaging, ensuring the lid is tightly closed. Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain its consistency and freshness.
What materials can I use this filler on?
It is particularly suited for MDF and chipboard, as well as general wood repairs.
How long does it take to dry?
It is fast drying in a normal atmosphere, allowing for subsequent steps relatively quickly.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too stiff to apply
Ensure the product has not been stored for an extended period and that the freshness seal was intact. If slightly stiff, minor smoothing might be achievable, but very old product may not be workable.
Filler shrinks significantly after drying
This filler is intended for small repairs up to 5mm. For deeper holes, multiple applications or a different filler type may be necessary.
Sanding leaves a powdery residue
Allow the filler to dry completely before sanding. Use fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish. Ensure no paint or varnish is applied until sanding is complete.
Colour does not match perfectly
This is a pre-coloured filler. For precise matches on unique wood grains or stains, it may require overpainting with a compatible paint system. Always test paint compatibility in an inconspicuous area first.
