What surfaces can I use Tetrion Easy On on?

How should I store the product?
Store the powder in its original, tightly sealed tub in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use.
How much water should I add?
Refer to the instructions on the product packaging for the precise water-to-powder ratio. Aim for a smooth, lump-free paste with a consistency similar to thick cream.
Troubleshooting
Filler not setting or setting too slowly.
Ensure the correct water-to-powder ratio was used. Avoid mixing in excessively cold temperatures. Check that the product has not expired.
Filler is too hard to work with or drying too quickly.
You may have used too little water or worked beyond the 1-hour working life. Ensure you are mixing thoroughly and applying within the specified time.
Sanding the filler is difficult or leaving a rough surface.
Allow the filler to cure completely before sanding. Use appropriate grit sandpaper and sand with a consistent pressure. If still rough, a second, finer sanding may be needed.
Filler shrinks significantly after drying.
For deeper holes or cracks, apply the filler in multiple thinner layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next. Avoid applying too thick a layer in one go.
