Product Information
Full details
The Bonda Wood Filler - Cream - 200G is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to repair wood surfaces with a lightweight, easily workable filler. Its key benefit is its ultra-soft, lightweight formula that allows for carving, chiseling, filing, and drilling after curing, making it ideal for intricate repairs and lightweight structures. A potential caveat is its specific cream color, which may require painting or staining to match surrounding wood.

FAQs
Can this filler be used on materials other than wood?
While specifically designed for wood, it may adhere to other porous surfaces. However, its performance and properties are optimized for wood.
How long does it take for the filler to cure?
The curing time is rapid, typically within minutes to an hour depending on the ratio of components mixed and ambient conditions. Refer to product packaging for specific times.
Can I paint over the Bonda Wood Filler?
Yes, once fully cured, the filler can be sanded smooth and then painted or stained to match your project.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Stored correctly in its original, sealed container, the filler typically has a good shelf life. Check the packaging for any specific expiration dates or storage recommendations.
Is the filler waterproof once cured?
The filler is generally water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is suitable for interior use and some exterior applications where it won't be constantly exposed to moisture.
How much filler do I need to mix at once?
Only mix the amount of filler that you can use within its working time. Due to its rapid hardening, it's best to mix small batches.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening or hardening too slowly.
Ensure the correct ratio of hardener to filler was used. Check that the mixing was thorough and that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing.
Filler crumbles or is too brittle after curing.
This might indicate insufficient mixing or an incorrect hardener-to-filler ratio. Ensure components are fully combined before application.
Filler shrinks significantly after drying.
Apply the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to cure partially before applying the next, especially for larger voids.
Difficulty in sanding the cured filler.
Allow the filler to cure completely before sanding. If still difficult, use a coarser grit sandpaper initially, then move to finer grits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material.
- Measure and mix the two components of the filler according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically a specific ratio of filler to hardener).
- Mix thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved.
- Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a putty knife or appropriate tool, pressing it firmly into the void.
- Smooth the surface as much as possible during application.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for wood repairs.
- Suitable for both solid wood and wood composites.
- Can be applied to painted or varnished surfaces if the underlying wood is sound.
Care:
- Store the filler in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Clean tools immediately after use with water and soap before the filler cures.
- Once cured, the filled area can be sanded, painted, stained, or varnished.
