Its key benefit is its ready-to-use formulation for filling cracks and holes in plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone, drying to a paintable white finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this filler be used for filling large holes?

Yes, but it must be applied in layers, with each layer no thicker than 6mm, allowing each to set before applying the next.

What surfaces is Bartoline Instant Filler suitable for?

It is suitable for repairs to plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on layer thickness and environmental conditions. Allow sufficient time for it to dry completely before sanding or painting.

Can I paint over the filler?

Yes, once the filler is completely dry, it can be smoothed with sandpaper and then painted over.

Is it suitable for use in bathrooms or kitchens?

It can be used on walls in bathrooms and kitchens, but it must be sealed with an oil-based paint if exposed to moisture and should not be used on surfaces regularly under water.

How should I store the filler?

Store in a cool, dry place with the cap firmly replaced. It must be protected from frost.

What is the environmental guidance for leftover product?

To avoid releasing microplastics, keep dust from sanding, rinsing water, and leftover product in a closed container and dispose of it at a local household waste collection point or via a waste management company.

Troubleshooting

Filler not sticking or cracking

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free before application. For deep repairs, ensure you are applying in thin layers (max 6mm) and allowing each to set.

Filler remains soft after drying

This may indicate excessively deep application or insufficient drying time, especially in humid conditions. Allow more time for curing, or ensure it was applied in thin layers.

Difficulty in sanding

Allow the filler to dry completely before attempting to sand. If it's still difficult, it might be too thick or not fully cured. Ensure appropriate sandpaper grit is used.

Outdoor repair showing degradation

The filler must be sealed with an oil-based paint and protected from rain until sealed. Reapply sealant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure all surfaces intended for filling are clean, dry, and free from dust. For metal elements like nails or screw heads that might rust, apply an oil-based primer first.

Application:

Work the tube between your fingers before opening. Cut the tip of the nozzle at a 45° angle. Gently squeeze the filler into the damaged area and level it using a filling knife or scraper. For larger areas, apply in layers no thicker than 6mm, letting each layer set before adding the next.

Compatibility:

Suitable for plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone. It can be painted over once dry.

Outdoor Use:

If used on exposed exterior surfaces, it is essential to seal the dried filler with an oil-based paint. Protect the treated area from rain and water until the sealant is fully effective. Do not use on surfaces that are regularly submerged in water.

Storage:

After use, firmly replace the cap on the nozzle. Store the product in a cool, dry place and protect from frost.

Cleaning:

Clean tools with water before the filler hardens.
