Metolux 2 Part Styrene Free Wood Filler - Teak/ Dark Oak

Single-part fillers are typically water-based and air-dry, suitable for minor cosmetic repairs. This two-part polyester filler is much stronger, more durable, weatherproof, and cures chemically, making it suitable for structural repairs and demanding applications.

Yes, provided the paint is sound and adheres well to the wood. Ensure the area is clean and free from dust or grease. The filler can be sanded and painted over once cured.

Curing time varies with temperature and humidity, but it typically takes about 30-60 minutes to become hard enough to sand. Allow longer for full strength development, especially in damp or cold conditions.

Refer to the instructions on the product packaging. Generally, a small amount of hardener is mixed with the filler to achieve a uniform color. Precise ratios are critical for proper curing.

Yes, once fully cured and sanded smooth, this wood filler accepts stains. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as the filler may absorb stain differently than the surrounding wood.

Ensure the correct ratio of filler to hardener was used and that both components were mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Check storage conditions; extreme cold can affect curing.

The wood may have moved excessively, or the filler was applied too thinly over a large area. For very large repairs, consider applying in layers. Ensure the weatherproof and flexible additives are suitable for the specific wood movement.

Ensure the correct mix ratio was used and the filler was applied generously, allowing for sanding down. For deep holes, it might be necessary to apply in multiple layers, allowing each layer to partially cure before applying the next.

Ensure the filler has fully cured before sanding. If it's still gummy, it may not have cured properly (see 'does not harden' issue). Use appropriate grit sandpaper, starting with a coarser grit and finishing with a finer one.
