FAQs
What is the shelf life of Bonda Woodfill?
When stored correctly in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place, Bonda Woodfill typically has a shelf life of 12-24 months. Always check the batch date on the packaging.
Can I tint Bonda Woodfill to match specific wood colors?
Yes, Bonda Woodfill can be tinted using universal pigments or by mixing with compatible paints before application. The ebony color also serves as a good base for darker wood tones. Test tints on a small area first.
How long does it take to cure?
Cure time varies with temperature but is generally rapid, often achieving sandable consistency within 15-30 minutes. Full cure may take longer.
Can I use Bonda Woodfill for structural repairs?
Bonda Woodfill is designed for cosmetic filling of defects and imperfections. For structural repairs requiring load-bearing strength, consult products specifically designed for such purposes.
Is Bonda Woodfill waterproof once cured?
While it provides a durable fill, it is not inherently waterproof. For applications exposed to moisture or water, it should be sealed and protected with a suitable waterproof finish.
What is the mixing ratio?
The standard mixing ratio is 1:1 by volume for the resin and hardener. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging for the most accurate ratio.
Can this be used on veneered wood?
It can be used on veneered wood for filling small defects or scratches in the veneer itself, provided the veneer is stable and well-adhered. Exercise caution during sanding to avoid damaging the veneer.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too hard to mix or apply
Ensure you are using fresh product and have followed the correct mixing ratio. If the components are old or have been exposed to air, they may have partially cured.
Filler shrinks significantly after application
This can happen with deep fills. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to partially cure before adding the next. Ensure proper mixing ratio as incorrect ratios can affect shrinkage.
Filler does not harden properly
Verify that you have mixed the correct ratio of resin and hardener. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing. Insufficient mixing can also lead to poor hardening.
Sanding is difficult or leaves a gummy residue
The filler may not have fully cured. Wait longer before sanding. If it persists, ensure the mixing was thorough and the correct ratio was used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Bonda Woodfill is a two-component product. Proper setup involves accurate mixing of the two parts. Always refer to the product packaging for the exact mixing ratio, typically a 1:1 ratio by volume for the resin and hardener. Mix thoroughly on a clean, flat surface until a uniform color is achieved. Avoid mixing more than can be used within the pot life (usually around 10-15 minutes).
Compatibility:
This wood filler is designed for use on bare wood. It is compatible with most common wood finishes, including primers, paints, varnishes, and lacquers, once fully cured and sanded. It can be used on hardwoods and softwoods.
Care:
Store the components in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure lids are securely fastened after each use to prevent contamination and premature hardening.
Cleaning:
Tools used for mixing and application (spatulas, mixing boards) should be cleaned immediately after use with a solvent such as acetone or cellulose thinners before the filler hardens. Dried filler can be difficult to remove and may require mechanical means.
