FAQs

How much area can I cover with a 15Kg container?

Coverage will vary depending on the thickness of the application and the roughness of the surface. However, a 15Kg container typically offers good coverage for various interior repair jobs.

Can I use this product on exterior walls?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.

Do I need to prime the surface before applying the filler?

Priming is recommended, especially on porous surfaces, to improve adhesion. Check the surface conditions to determine if a primer is needed.

How long should I wait between coats?

Allow each coat to dry completely. Drying times can vary, so check the product instructions for specific recommendations.

Can I sand the filler?

Yes, once the filler is completely dry, you can sand it to create a smooth surface.

What tools do I need to apply Volden Skims?

You will need a filling knife or trowel, and optionally sandpaper for smoothing.

How should I store the remaining filler?

Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure it is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.

Troubleshooting

Filler is cracking after drying.

Apply in thinner coats or ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. If the crack is extensive, remove the filler and reapply.

Filler is not adhering to the surface.

Make sure the surface is clean and free of dust or grease. Consider priming the surface before applying the filler.
