Product Information

Full details

The Polycell Quick Drying Polyfilla Tub is designed for DIYers and homeowners needing to tackle small, immediate repairs on wood, plaster, masonry, or stone. Its key benefit is a rapid drying time, often surface dry in 5-20 minutes, allowing for quick painting and finishing.

FAQs

How long does Polycell Quick Drying Polyfilla take to dry?

It is typically surface dry in 5 to 20 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and humidity. It is ready to recoat or paint after approximately 0.33 hours (around 20 minutes).

Can I use this filler for large holes?

This filler is ideal for small repairs up to 5mm deep. For larger holes, it is recommended to build up the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.

Is Polycell Quick Drying Polyfilla suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is only suitable for indoor use.

What surfaces can I use this filler on?

It is suitable for use on plaster, wood, masonry, and stone.

How do I clean my tools after using the filler?

Clean your tools immediately after use with warm water.

How should I store the filler?

Replace the membrane, press it onto the surface of the filler, and close the lid tightly. Store away from extreme temperatures and protect from frost.

Can I sand the filler once it's dry?

Yes, if necessary, you can lightly sand the filler once it is fully dry to achieve a smooth finish before painting.

Troubleshooting

Filler is not drying quickly

Ensure good ventilation and a moderate temperature. High humidity can significantly slow down drying times.

Filler shrinks or cracks after drying

This usually happens with deeper fills. Apply the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next, rather than attempting a deep fill in one go.

Surface is not smooth after application

Once fully dry, lightly sand the filled area with fine-grit sandpaper until smooth. Ensure filler is applied level during initial application.

Product is too hard in the tub

Check storage conditions. If exposed to freezing temperatures, the product may be compromised. Ensure the lid was sealed tightly after previous use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface and holes to be filled are clean, dry, and free from loose material. For nail or screw heads on wood, apply a suitable metal primer before filling.

Application: Use a filling knife to apply the Polyfilla directly into the hole or crack. Smooth the filler level with the surrounding surface. For repairs deeper than 5mm, build up the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.

Drying: The filler is surface dry in 5 to 20 minutes, depending on conditions. It is ready to recoat or paint after approximately 33 minutes.

Sanding: If necessary, lightly sand the fully dried filler to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.

Tool Cleaning: Clean tools immediately after use with warm water to prevent the product from drying and hardening.

Storage: To store any remaining filler, ensure the membrane is replaced, pressed onto the surface of the filler, and the lid is closed tightly. Do not use or store in extreme temperatures, and protect from frost.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on plaster, wood, masonry, and stone. It is intended for indoor use only.
