Product Information

Full details

Polycell Polyfilla for Wood Large Repairs is a robust two-component wood filler designed for substantial interior and exterior wood repairs, particularly for damage caused by decay or rot. Its key benefit is a quick drying time, allowing it to be painted, stained, or varnished in under an hour, with a durable finish that can be drilled, screwed, and planed. A caveat is that the filler may not stain or varnish identically to the surrounding wood, so testing is recommended.

How long does it take for the filler to be ready for sanding?

Can I paint or stain over the filler immediately after sanding?

The filler can be painted, stained, or varnished in under 1 hour from application, which is typically after it has been sanded.

Is this filler suitable for small cosmetic repairs?

This product is designed for large repairs, especially those over 5mm deep. For general and minor repairs, consider using Polycell Polyfilla for Wood General Repairs.

What should I do if I am repairing rotten wood?

For repairs to decayed and rotten wood, it is recommended to use Polycell Polyfilla for Wood Hardener prior to filling, following the instructions on the hardener's packaging.

How should I store the filler?

Do not use or store the filler in extremes of temperature and protect it from frost. Ensure lids are replaced securely.

Will the filler shrink or crack after drying?

The product is designed to not shrink or crack, providing a stable repair.

Can I use this filler to glue two pieces of wood together?

This product is a filler designed for repairing damaged wood and is not intended as a wood adhesive for joining separate pieces of timber.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too hard to mix or apply

Ensure both components are mixed thoroughly and quickly, as the working time is limited to 10 minutes. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures during storage.

Filler shrinks or cracks after application

Ensure the repair area is properly prepared and free of loose material. For deep repairs, consider multiple thinner layers rather than one thick application. Ensure the correct 1:1 mixing ratio is maintained.

Paint, stain, or varnish does not adhere or looks uneven

Ensure the filler is fully cured before finishing. Sand the surface lightly after curing. Test the finishing product on a small, repaired area first, as the filler may accept finishes differently than the surrounding wood.

Surface is difficult to sand

Wait until the filler is fully cured (approximately 45 minutes). Use appropriate grit sandpaper for wood fillers. Ensure the filler was mixed and applied correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the area to be filled is clean, dry, and free of loose material. For repairs on decayed or rotten wood, use Polycell Polyfilla for Wood Hardener according to its instructions before applying the filler. This product is suitable for all interior and exterior wood repairs, especially for damage deeper than 5mm and for wood affected by decay or wet rot. It is ideal for windows, frames, sills, doors, floors, joinery, and garden furniture. Do not use in permanently wet or underwater conditions, or for filling gaps between floorboards.

Mixing and Application: Mix an equal amount from each component tub (Tub A and Tub B) until a uniform colour is achieved. Prepare only what can be used within 10 minutes. Press the filler firmly into the repair area and smooth with a filling knife.

Working and Finishing: After about 30 minutes, the filler can be carved or shaped. Sanding, planing, or filing can commence around 45 minutes after application. The filler can be painted, stained, or varnished in under 1 hour. Note that the filler's appearance after staining or varnishing may differ from the original wood; testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended. Do not use with wood dye.

Tool Cleaning: Remove excess product from tools before cleaning them in warm water. Dispose of any mixed, unused filler as per local regulations.

Storage: Do not use or store in extreme temperatures, and protect from frost.
