FAQs
What is the maximum depth I can fill with this product?
This filler is designed for repairs of small pinholes and cracks below 5mm depth.
Can I use this filler on exterior projects?
The product is ideal for interior use due to its very low odour. Its suitability for exterior use would depend on the subsequent protective coatings applied and environmental exposure.
How long does it take to dry?
It dries fast in normal atmospheric conditions, allowing for subsequent work relatively quickly.
Can I paint over the filler?
Yes, the filler accepts all known paint systems and varnishes, allowing you to achieve a seamless finish.
How should I store the unused filler?
Keep the plastic screw lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and prevent drying out.
What kind of surfaces can I use this on?
It is particularly suited for materials such as MDF and chipboard, and is ideal for flat face-up applications.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too hard to spread
Ensure the packaging has been properly sealed after previous use. If hardened, it may be too old or exposed to air. For minor hardening, very gentle warming might help, but it's best to use a fresh container if severely hardened.
Filler is shrinking significantly after drying
This usually occurs if applied too thickly. For deeper areas, apply in multiple thin layers, allowing each to dry before applying the next. This filler is intended for shallow repairs (under 5mm).
Sanding is difficult or leaves a rough surface
Ensure the filler is completely dry before sanding. Use progressively finer grits of sandpaper. If it's gummy, it may not be fully cured; allow more drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. The Metolux One Part Wood Filler is ready to use directly from its packaging.
Compatibility: This wood filler is suitable for use on various wood materials, including solid wood, MDF, and chipboard. It accepts all known paint systems and varnishes, ensuring seamless integration with your finishing coats.
Care: To maintain the filler's quality, ensure the plastic screw lid is tightly secured after each use. Store in a cool, dry place.
