Troubleshooting
Filler is too crumbly or dry
Add a small amount of water and mix thoroughly until a smooth, workable consistency is achieved. Ensure you are not adding too much powder relative to water.
Filler is too wet or sticky
Add a small amount of powder and mix thoroughly. Aim for a firm, buttery texture that is easy to spread but not runny.
Filler shrinks or cracks after drying
Ensure the gap being filled does not exceed the recommended 40mm depth. For deeper fills, apply in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next.
Difficulty sanding the dried filler
Ensure the filler is completely dry before sanding. If it's still too soft, it may not have cured properly. Use fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.
