Sets in minutes, creating an easy to sand, very tough and very smooth repair. Kit contains hardener, spreader and mixing dish. Including Tetrion Filler Spreader with soft-grip handle insert for comfort and control. Hardened and tempered steel blade, ideal for filling uneven and cracked areas. Advantages: Super Smooth. Suitable for metals, wood, stone and most plastics. Easy to Sand. Can be drilled, painted, easily spread, screwable, and shaped. Suitable for filling metals, wood, stone and most plastics. Application: Prepare the surface by removing all dirt, grease, moisture and loose material from the area to be treated. Also ensure all mixing equipment is clean. Mix 1 part hardener to 50 parts filler (pea: golfball) or 2%. Mix thoroughly until all the hardener is dispersed and no streaks are evident. Apply filler immediately with the spreader. Setting reaction commences after 5 minutes and paste will become fully cured and sandable after 20 minutes (at an ambient temperature of 18 degrees C/ 65 degreesF). Sand the repair down to the required level only when paste is fully set. Correct any imperfections with more filler mixture, only after the application has cured. Note: Tetrion Powerfil is best used in warm, dry, well-ventilated conditions. In hotter temperatures the filler mix will set more quickly: In cooler conditions the filler will take longer to cure completely. Important: Never use too much hardener. Never return unused paste to tin. Keep paste cool in summer and warm in winter.
The Tetrion Powerfil 2K Filler is a versatile, two-part filler designed for both large and small repair jobs, especially those exposed to outdoor conditions, offering a heavy-duty solution. Its key benefit is a rapid set time of just 5 minutes, leading to a tough, smooth, and easily sandable finish within 20 minutes. A potential caveat is its faster setting time in warmer temperatures, requiring efficient mixing and application.

FAQs
What is the correct mixing ratio for Tetrion Powerfil 2K Filler?
The recommended ratio is 1 part hardener to 50 parts filler. This is approximately a pea-sized amount of hardener for a golf ball-sized amount of filler.
How long does it take for the filler to set?
The setting reaction begins within 5 minutes, and the filler becomes fully cured and sandable in approximately 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of 18°C (65°F).
Can I use this filler outdoors?
Yes, Tetrion Powerfil 2K Filler is designed for heavy-duty use, including outdoor projects, due to its toughness and durability.
What surfaces can I use this filler on?
It is suitable for use on metals, wood, stone, and most plastics. Always test compatibility on plastics in an inconspicuous area first.
What happens if I use too much hardener?
Using too much hardener can cause the filler to set too quickly, potentially making it difficult to work with and leading to a less optimal repair. Always adhere to the recommended ratio.
How should I store the filler?
Keep the paste cool in summer and warm in winter to maintain its consistency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I paint over the filler?
Yes, once fully cured and sanded smooth, the filler can be drilled, painted, screwed, and shaped, allowing for seamless integration with the surrounding material.
Troubleshooting
Filler not setting or curing slowly
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of 1 part hardener to 50 parts filler is used. Check that the ambient temperature is not too cold; warmer conditions accelerate curing. Ensure thorough mixing.
Filler setting too quickly
This is common in warmer temperatures. Prepare smaller batches and work more quickly. Ensure efficient application immediately after mixing.
Poor adhesion to the surface
The surface may not have been prepared correctly. Ensure it is completely clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose material before application.
Difficulty sanding the cured filler
Wait for the filler to fully cure (around 20 minutes at 18°C). If it's still difficult, you may have an overly thick application or mixed incorrectly. Ensure thorough curing before sanding.
Filler shrinks or cracks after curing
This can happen with very deep holes. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to cure partially before applying the next. Ensure the correct mix ratio is maintained.
