How much filler do I need?

Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening
Ensure the correct ratio of filler and hardener was used. Check that the hardener is not expired. Work in the recommended temperature range.
Filler cracking after drying
Apply filler in thin layers and allow each layer to dry fully before applying the next. Avoid applying too much filler at once.
