Troubleshooting
Filler is cracking after drying.
Ensure the application is not too thick. Apply in thin coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Check for substrate movement.
Filler is not adhering properly.
Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or loose particles. If the substrate is particularly smooth or non-porous, consider lightly sanding it before application. If you are applying to a painted surface, ensure the paint is well-adhered.
Difficulty in achieving a smooth finish.
Use a clean filling knife or trowel. Apply even pressure and work in consistent strokes. Sand lightly after drying to remove any imperfections.
