FAQs
Can this filler be used on plastics?
This product is primarily designed for automotive metal surfaces. Check the technical data sheet for compatibility if applying to specific automotive plastics.
Is the hardener included?
Yes, each 3-litre container comes with the necessary hardener to ensure the product cures correctly.
How long should I wait before sanding?
Due to its rapid-cure design, you can typically begin sanding shortly after application, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Can I thin this filler?
No, do not add solvents or thinners to the product as this will compromise the chemical structure and curing process.
How should I store the leftover product?
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area with the lid securely closed to prevent moisture contamination.
Troubleshooting
Filler is curing too fast to work with
Reduce the amount of hardener slightly (while remaining within manufacturer recommendations) or mix smaller batches at a time.
Surface remains tacky or soft after extended time
Ensure the ratio of hardener is correct and verify that the product was mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from rust or oil by sanding the area with an appropriate grit sandpaper and cleaning with a degreaser. Mix the filler with the supplied hardener following the specific ratio indicated on the container to ensure proper catalysis. Apply the filler in thin, even layers to build up depth rather than one thick application. After finishing, seal the container tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the chemical components.
