Product Information
Full details
The Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior Flexible Filler is an essential tool for professional painters and homeowners alike who need a reliable, high-performance solution for repairing wood and masonry surfaces. Its primary benefit is its superior flexibility, which allows it to move with the building to prevent the unsightly shrinking and cracking common in rigid fillers. While it offers excellent durability and an easy-to-sand finish, users should note that drying times are heavily dependent on environmental conditions, requiring patience during colder or more humid weather.

FAQs
Can I use this filler indoors?

How do I clean my tools after use?

What should I do if the filler is too thick?
You can add a few drops of clean water and mix it into the filler until it forms a workable, stiff paste.

Troubleshooting
Filler is difficult to spread
Add a few drops of clean water to the paste and stir thoroughly until you reach the desired consistency.
Filler takes longer than expected to dry

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure your target surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose or defective material. While the product is ready to use directly from the container, you can add a few drops of clean water and stir it into a stiff paste if you prefer a different consistency for specific gaps.
After applying, store the container in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and protect it from frost to maintain its chemical stability. For tool maintenance, scrape off any excess filler immediately after use and wash tools thoroughly with water. If you have any remaining product, dispose of it responsibly through local recycling programs for paint containers.
