This Everbuild Wood Filler Hardener is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals working with two-part styrene-based wood fillers. It provides a reliable catalyst to ensure proper curing and strength in your filler repairs, offering a key benefit of accelerated drying times. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility requirement with two-part systems, meaning it won't work with single-part fillers. The product is a 40g container of Benzoyl Peroxide catalyst paste that works with most common two-part wood filler systems.

This hardener is specifically designed for use with two-part styrene-based wood filler systems. It will not work with single-part fillers.
The exact amount depends on the specific wood filler you are using. Always refer to the instructions provided with your two-part wood filler for the recommended ratio of filler to hardener.
No, this Benzoyl Peroxide hardener is for styrene-based fillers. Epoxy fillers use a different two-part system and require their own specific hardeners.
The working time (pot life) of the mixed filler will vary depending on the ambient temperature and the amount of hardener used. It is typically quite short, so only mix what you can use immediately.
When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, the hardener should maintain its efficacy for a significant period. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiry information.
As it contains Benzoyl Peroxide, it should be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Always consult the safety data sheet for detailed information.
Ensure you are using a two-part styrene-based wood filler and have used the correct ratio of hardener. Insufficient hardener or improper mixing can prevent curing.
You may have used too much hardener. Reduce the amount of hardener in your next mix according to the filler manufacturer's recommended ratio.
This could indicate an incompatible filler type or insufficient mixing of the hardener with the filler. Ensure a uniform color is achieved when mixing.
Setup: This product is a catalyst paste to be mixed directly with a two-part wood filler. Follow the wood filler manufacturer's instructions for the correct ratio of filler to hardener. Typically, a small pea-sized amount of hardener is mixed thoroughly with the required amount of filler on a clean, non-porous surface until a uniform color is achieved.
Compatibility: This hardener is designed for use with two-part styrene-based wood filler systems. It is not suitable for use with single-part wood fillers, putties, or other types of adhesives. Always check the compatibility notes on your specific wood filler product.
Care: Store the hardener in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, during use.
