Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this wood filler be used on painted wood?

Yes, it can be used on painted wood, but for best adhesion, it's recommended to sand the painted surface to provide a key, and ensure it's clean and dry before application.

How long does it take to cure?

Curing time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, it becomes sandable within 20-30 minutes, but full cure may take longer. Refer to the product's specific instructions for precise times.

Is it suitable for outdoor furniture?

Yes, its weatherproof formulation makes it suitable for outdoor furniture and other exterior wood repairs.

Can I use different Metolux wood filler colors to create custom shades?

While not explicitly recommended, some users experiment with mixing colors. However, it's best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in sealed containers, the product typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years. Always check the batch date and manufacturer's recommendations.

Can I sand it as soon as it hardens?

It's best to let the filler cure sufficiently before sanding. While it may feel hard after a short period, waiting for a more complete cure ensures it sands smoothly without clogging sandpaper.

Does it shrink when it dries?

This two-part filler is designed for minimal shrinkage. However, very deep repairs might require filling in layers to prevent any potential minor settling.

Troubleshooting

Filler is not hardening or curing slowly

Ensure the filler and hardener were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined. Check the ambient temperature; curing is slower in cold conditions. Ensure the hardener is not expired or contaminated.

Filler is too hard to work with immediately after mixing

This can happen if too much hardener was used or if mixing generated significant heat. Work quickly or adjust the ratio slightly for future batches (following manufacturer guidance).

Shrinkage after curing

This usually indicates the repair was not filled deeply enough or the product was applied too thinly for the depth of the damage. For deep repairs, apply in layers, allowing each to cure partially.

Poor adhesion to the wood

The wood surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any existing finishes that could prevent adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very strong and durable repair.
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to its weatherproof nature.
  • Can be painted and stained to match surrounding wood seamlessly.
  • Flexes with timber movement, reducing the risk of cracking.
  • Non-slump formula makes application easier on vertical surfaces.
  • Available in multiple pre-colored shades.

Cons

  • Requires accurate mixing of the two components for best results.
  • Curing time may vary depending on environmental conditions.
  • As a professional-grade product, it may require more careful handling than basic fillers.
  • Once mixed, the working time is limited.
  • The hardener component needs to be stored and handled appropriately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material.
  2. Accurately measure and mix the filler and hardener in the recommended ratio (typically provided with the product). Mix thoroughly on a clean, flat surface.
  3. Apply the mixed filler to the imperfection using a suitable spreader or putty knife.
  4. Smooth the surface, slightly overfilling if necessary to allow for sanding.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with virtually all paint systems, varnishes, lacquers, and stains.
  • Suitable for use on most types of wood.

Care:

  • Store the filler and hardener in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Clean tools immediately after use with appropriate solvents (check product instructions for specifics) before the filler cures.
  • Dispose of mixed filler and empty containers according to local regulations.
