FAQs
Can I use this filler on plastic bumpers?
This filler is designed primarily for metal body panels. For plastic repairs, it is recommended to use a filler specifically formulated for flexible substrates.
Does it come with a hardener?
Yes, the product includes the necessary hardener to initiate the curing process.
How long should I wait before painting?
You should wait until the filler is fully cured and sanded smooth. Once a primer is applied over the filler, follow the paint manufacturer's drying times.
Is this filler waterproof?
Once fully cured and properly primed/painted, the repair is moisture-resistant. However, it should not be left exposed to the elements in its raw filler state.
Can I apply this over old paint?
It is best practice to sand down to the bare metal or a well-adhered primer surface for the best possible long-term results.
Troubleshooting
Filler is not hardening
Ensure the correct ratio of hardener was used and that the ambient temperature is above 15°C.
Surface feels tacky after sanding
The filler likely had improper mixing or was applied in conditions with too high humidity. Remove the layer and re-apply.
Pinholes appearing during sanding
Ensure the filler is applied using firm pressure to force air out of the material during the initial application.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the filler, mix it on a clean non-porous mixing board using a plastic spreader. Always follow the manufacturer's ratio for the hardener; over-mixing can cause the filler to cure too quickly, while under-mixing may result in a tacky, unusable surface. After application, allow the product to fully cure before sanding. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from hardening or drying out in the can. Always use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a mask and gloves, as the filler contains chemical compounds.
