Troubleshooting
Filler is not hardening.
Ensure the correct ratio of filler to hardener was used. Check that the hardener is fresh and not expired. The ambient temperature may be too low; allow for more drying time or work in a warmer environment.
Filler is difficult to sand.
Allow the filler to fully cure before sanding. Ensure you are using the correct grit sandpaper. Try a coarser grit to start.
Filler cracks after drying.
The filler may have been applied in too thick a layer. Apply in thinner layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
Filler does not adhere well.
Make sure the surface is properly prepared; clean, dry, and free from contaminants. The correct hardener should be used, and the mixture should be thoroughly mixed.
