Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening
Ensure the correct ratio of filler and hardener was used. Check the expiration date. The product may be too old.
Filler shrinking after curing
Apply the filler in layers, allowing each layer to cure before applying the next. Avoid overfilling in one go.
Difficulty sanding the filler
Use appropriate grit sandpaper. Start with a coarser grit and gradually move to finer grits for a smooth finish.
Poor adhesion
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Scuff the surface for better adhesion.
Bubbles appearing in the filler
Mix the filler and hardener slowly to avoid introducing air bubbles. Apply in thin layers.
