FAQs

How long does Bartoline Ready Mix Wood Filler take to set?

Drying and setting times can vary depending on the depth of the repair, temperature, and humidity. For thin layers, it may set within a few hours, but deeper repairs or humid conditions will extend this time. Always ensure it is completely set before sanding or finishing.

Can I use this filler for exterior repairs?

Yes, but it must be sealed with an oil-based paint or varnish after it has set and been sanded. Protect the filled area from rain and water until it is properly sealed. It should not be used in areas that are permanently wet.

How thick can I apply the filler in one go?

For deep repairs, apply in layers with a maximum thickness of 6mm per layer. Allow each layer to set before applying the next.

Can I stain this wood filler?

Yes, the wood filler can be stained once it is completely set and dry. For best results, test the stain on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What surfaces can this wood filler be used on?

It is specifically formulated for all types of repairs to wood, including window frames, doors, skirting boards, and other wooden elements.

Do I need to mix the filler before use?

Bartoline Ready Mix Wood Filler comes pre-mixed. However, if it appears slightly separated, gentle stirring before use may be necessary to ensure a consistent texture.

How should I store the leftover wood filler?

Store any leftover filler in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Filler cracking or shrinking significantly

Ensure layers do not exceed 6mm thickness. Allow each layer to cure fully before applying the next. Ensure the base wood is sound and dry.

Filler not adhering to the wood

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Remove any unsound wood before application.

Difficulty in sanding the filler

Allow the filler to set completely before sanding. If it feels too soft, it may not have fully cured; wait longer. If it's too hard, ensure you are using appropriate grit sandpaper.

Filler discolours after painting or varnishing

Ensure the filler is completely dry and sealed correctly, especially for exterior use. Overpainting metal fittings with an oil-based primer can prevent bleed-through issues.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the wood surface to be filled is clean, dry, and free from dust.
  2. Remove any unsound or rotten wood to create a solid base.
  3. If filling near nails or metal fittings, overpaint them with an oil-based primer before applying the filler.
  4. Stir the filler gently if necessary before use.

Application:

  1. Press the filler firmly into the damaged area using a suitable tool.
  2. For deep repairs, fill to a maximum thickness of 6mm per layer. Allow each layer to set completely before applying the next.
  3. Apply slightly more filler than needed, so it is proud of the surrounding surface.
  4. Allow the filler to set completely.
  5. Rub down the dried filler with sandpaper until it is flush with the surrounding surface for a perfect finish.

Finishing:

  • The filler can be stained, varnished, or painted once fully set.
  • For outdoor use, seal the filled area with an oil-based paint or varnish. Protect the filled area from rain and water until sealed.

Care:

  • Store the filler in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is tightly sealed between uses.
  • Do not use in areas that are permanently wet or exposed to constant moisture.
