What is the shelf life of the product?

Can I use this for structural repairs?
While very durable, this filler is intended for cosmetic repairs such as filling holes, cracks, and imperfections. For significant structural damage, professional advice or alternative materials may be required.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening
Ensure you have mixed the filler and hardener in equal proportions. Check the expiry date of the product. Store components in a cool, dry place.
Filler cracking or shrinking after application
This can occur if the application depth is too great or if the filler was not mixed thoroughly. For deep holes, apply in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next. Ensure thorough mixing.
Difficulty in sanding
Ensure the filler is fully cured before attempting to sand. If it feels rubbery, it may not be completely set. Try using a coarser grit sandpaper initially, followed by finer grits for a smooth finish.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Make sure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint/varnish. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application to improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Mixing and Application
Preparation: Ensure the area to be filled is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For optimal adhesion, lightly sand glossy surfaces.
Mixing: Dispense equal parts of the filler and the hardener onto a clean, flat surface (a piece of scrap wood or cardboard works well). Mix thoroughly with a clean tool until a uniform colour is achieved. Avoid over-mixing, which can reduce working time.
Application: Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a putty knife or filler blade. Press firmly to ensure it fills the void completely and adheres well. Smooth the surface as much as possible during application to minimize subsequent sanding.
Curing: The filler will set hard in approximately 30 minutes at normal temperatures. Avoid disturbing the filled area during this time.
Compatibility
Suitable for all types of wood, both interior and exterior.
Compatible with most common paints, varnishes, and stains once fully cured.
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 water.
Safety
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when mixing and applying.
Ensure good ventilation in the area where you are working.
