Troubleshooting

Filler not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and sanded before application. Use the correct ratio of components and allow the filler to cure completely.

Filler cracking after application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly with a suitable cleaner to remove dirt, grease, and loose paint. Sand the area to create a key for the filler to adhere to.
  2. Mixing: Mix the two components of the filler in the recommended ratio until a uniform consistency is achieved. Work within the recommended pot life to ensure proper application.
  3. Application: Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a spreader or applicator. Ensure the filler is pressed firmly into the damage.
