Troubleshooting
Filler is not hardening.
Ensure the correct ratio of filler and hardener is used. Check the expiration date of the hardener and ensure the ambient temperature is at least 20°C. Consider that too little hardener, or very cold conditions can prevent hardening.
Filler is difficult to sand.
Ensure the filler is fully cured before sanding. Use appropriate sandpaper grit for the finish desired. Try using a sanding block for a more even finish.
Filler is cracking after curing.
Apply the filler in thin layers to avoid excessive thickness. Ensure the surface is properly prepared before application. If the crack is due to impact, consider the flexibility of the substrate.
