FAQs
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it sets hard within 5-10 minutes, full strength for sanding or drilling is typically achieved shortly thereafter, but refer to product packaging for specific timings.
Can I use Tetrion Super Fix on plastics?
It is suitable for some rigid plastics. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and avoid damaging the material.
How much filler do I mix at once?
Mix only as much as you can use within the working time (typically a few minutes). For small repairs, a pea-sized amount of each component is sufficient.
Can I sand and paint the filled area?
Yes, once the filler has fully cured, it can be sanded, drilled, and painted to match the surrounding material.
What is the shelf life of Tetrion Super Fix?
When stored correctly in sealed tubes in a cool, dry place, it typically has a long shelf life. Refer to the packaging for any specific expiry dates.
Can this filler be used for outdoor repairs?
Yes, it offers high strength and is durable once cured, making it suitable for many outdoor repair applications, provided the surface is properly prepared and sealed after repair.
Troubleshooting
Filler not setting or setting too slowly
Ensure you have mixed equal parts of the filler and hardener. Check that the mixing was thorough and that the ambient temperature is not too low, as this can slow the curing process.
Filler is setting too quickly to apply properly
Prepare your surfaces and tools beforehand. Mix only a small amount of filler at a time, enough for immediate application. Work quickly and decisively.
Poor adhesion to the surface
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants. Lightly sanding porous surfaces can improve grip.
Filler shrinks significantly after curing
This can occur with deep fills. For deeper repairs, it may be necessary to apply the filler in layers, allowing each layer to partially set before applying the next.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rapid hardening for quick project turnaround.
- Excellent adhesion to a wide range of surfaces.
- Creates very strong, permanent repairs.
- Can be worked with (sanded, drilled) after setting.
- Convenient packaging for controlled mixing.
Cons
- Fast setting time leaves little room for error or adjustment.
- May not be suitable for very large or deep filling jobs due to rapid hardening.
- Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- Not recommended for flexible materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for optimal performance. Ensure the surfaces to be repaired are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. For porous surfaces like wood or brick, a light sanding can improve adhesion.
Mixing: Carefully dispense equal lengths of the filler and hardener from the two tubes onto a clean, disposable surface. Mix them thoroughly and quickly with a clean spatula or mixing stick until a uniform color is achieved. Work efficiently as the mixture begins to harden after a few minutes.
Application: Apply the mixed filler immediately to the damaged area using a spatula or putty knife. Press firmly to ensure good contact and fill the void completely. Smooth the surface as much as possible during application.
Curing: The filler will harden within approximately 5-10 minutes at room temperature. Full strength is typically achieved after a short period, allowing for subsequent work like sanding or painting.
Compatibility: Tetrion Super Fix is generally compatible with wood, metal, brick, concrete, stone, and some rigid plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: Store unused tubes tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean tools and application surfaces immediately after use with water. Once cured, the filled area can be treated like the surrounding material.
