FAQs

How long does it take for the filler to dry?

The Silverhook Carbon Fibre Black Filler hardens in approximately 14-16 minutes at 20°C.

What surfaces can I use this filler on?

This filler is suitable for use on most metals and plastics.

What is the shelf life of the filler?

The shelf life depends on storage conditions, but it is best used within one year of purchase. Always check the expiration date on the packaging.

Can I paint over the filler?

Yes, once the filler has fully cured and been sanded smooth, it can be painted. Use a suitable primer before applying paint for the best results.

How should I store the filler?

Store the filler in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.

Is it safe to use this product?

Always work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.

What is the recommended sanding grit?

Start with a coarser grit sandpaper (e.g., 80-grit) for the initial shaping and then use finer grits (e.g., 180-320 grit) for a smooth finish.

Troubleshooting

Filler is not hardening.

Ensure the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio. Check the expiration date. The product may be old. Make sure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.

Filler is difficult to sand.

Allow the filler to fully cure before sanding. Use appropriate sandpaper grit (start with a coarser grit and move to a finer grit). Apply even pressure while sanding.

Filler shrinks after curing.

Apply the filler in thin layers. Avoid applying the filler in very thick layers, as this can lead to shrinkage. Make sure the surface is properly prepared and cleaned.

Filler does not adhere to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Roughen the surface with sandpaper before applying the filler for better adhesion. Use the appropriate primer for the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High strength and durability due to carbon fiber reinforcement.
  • Fast hardening time minimizes downtime and speeds up repairs.
  • Excellent adhesion to both plastic and metal surfaces.
  • Provides a smooth finish after sanding.
  • Elasticity helps prevent cracking and damage over time.

Cons

  • Fast hardening time requires precise timing and immediate application.
  • May require more effort to sand if not applied correctly.
  • Can be more challenging to work with than slower-curing fillers.
  • Requires proper ventilation during application due to fumes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove any rust, loose paint, or debris. Use a degreaser to remove any oil or grease.
  2. Mixing: Mix the filler with the hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions. A common ratio is provided with the product. Mix thoroughly until the color is consistent.
  3. Application: Apply the mixed filler to the damaged area using a spreader or applicator. Work quickly due to the fast hardening time. Apply in thin layers for best results.
  4. Curing: Allow the filler to fully cure according to the product's specifications (usually about 14-16 minutes at 20°C). Sand the cured filler smooth to the desired finish.
  5. Compatibility: This filler is compatible with most metals and plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. Avoid using it on surfaces exposed to high heat or direct sunlight without appropriate topcoat protection.
  6. Care: Store the filler in a cool, dry place. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Clean tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent. Dispose of waste responsibly, following local regulations.
