It seals and fills most household materials including plaster, wood, stone, concrete, brickwork, and metal. This filler is water and weather-resistant, drillable, tappable, and resistant to vibration, shrinking, sagging, and cracking. It is also resilient to expansion and contraction. The ready-mixed formula offers convenience for quick repair jobs, eliminating the need for dosing or mixing. It provides a super smooth finish and is easy and quick to sand. The filler is polymer re-enforced for increased strength and is over-paintable with most household paints. For external use, over-paint with an oil-based paint. When overpainting with a water-based paint externally, prime with a suitable sealer. To use, ensure all surfaces are dry, clean, and free from loose materials. Work the tube with fingers before use. Cut the nozzle to the required size. Apply with a filler spreader and smooth off immediately with a wet spreader. Setting occurs in approximately 4-6 hours depending on depth of fill and atmospheric conditions. After 24 hours, the filler can be sanded and then overpainted. After use, replace the plastic disc and lid to keep remaining filler in good condition. Tetrion All Purpose Ready Mixed Filler should be applied in layers of no less than 3mm and no greater than 10mm to ensure adhesion. It can be drilled or tapped provided that the depth of the set filler is at least equal to that of the screw/plug. Under long-term storage, the product may separate slightly; if this occurs, stir before use. Do not use in wet or damp conditions or on surfaces regularly underwater. Do not sandwich between layers of paint and/or sealants.
