The Tetrion Powerfil 2K 2 Part Body Filler is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tackling a variety of repair jobs on metal, wood, stone, and most plastics. Its key benefit is a super smooth, tough, and sandable finish that sets rapidly, allowing for quick project completion. A primary consideration is the precise mixing ratio required for optimal performance, as incorrect proportions can affect setting times and durability.

The recommended ratio is 1 part hardener to 50 parts filler. A visual guide is a pea-sized amount of hardener to a golfball-sized amount of filler.
At an ambient temperature of 18°C (65°F), the filler will start to set after 5 minutes and will be fully cured and sandable after approximately 20 minutes.
Yes, provided the painted surface is sound and properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from grease). It can be painted over once cured.
Unopened, the filler and hardener should be stored in a cool, dry place. Refer to the product packaging for specific expiry dates, but typically they have a good shelf life if stored correctly.
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use on appropriate materials. However, avoid applying it in extreme temperatures or wet conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.
Using too much hardener will cause the filler to set much faster, potentially making it difficult to apply and shape. It can also lead to a harder, more brittle finish that may be prone to cracking.
Never return unused mixed paste to the original tin. Unmixed filler and hardener should be stored in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry environment.
Ensure the correct mixing ratio (1 part hardener to 50 parts filler) is used. Check the ambient temperature; cooler conditions will slow the cure time. Make sure the hardener is not expired.
This usually occurs in warmer temperatures. Mix smaller batches of filler at a time to allow for sufficient working time. Ensure the filler and hardener are not stored in direct sunlight or heat.
The surface may not have been prepared correctly. Ensure it is free from dirt, grease, moisture, and loose material. Sanding the surface lightly before application can also improve adhesion.
Wait until the filler is fully cured before sanding. If it's still difficult, you may have used too much hardener, or the ambient temperature was very low during curing, requiring more time. Ensure you are using appropriate sandpaper grit.
