FAQs
How long does Bonda Wood Filler take to harden?
The hardening time is rapid, typically allowing for sanding and finishing within a short period after application, usually less than an hour depending on conditions.
Can I use this filler for large gaps?
Bonda Wood Filler is best suited for filling knots, pinholes, and smaller defects. For very large gaps or structural repairs, other methods or products may be more appropriate.
Does the Teak color match all wood types?
The Teak color is designed to match natural teak wood. For other wood types, it may appear slightly different, and testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended before full application.
How should I store the mixed filler?
Once mixed, the filler has a limited working time and should be applied immediately. Unmixed components should be stored in their original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place.
Can I stain over the filler?
Yes, the filler sands well and provides a good base for staining. However, the filler itself will not take stain the same way natural wood does, so results may vary. It's best to test on a sample piece first.
What is the shelf life of Bonda Wood Filler?
Refer to the product packaging for the exact expiry date. Proper storage in a cool, dry place will help maintain its efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening
Ensure both components were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined. Check the expiry date of the product and store it under recommended conditions.
Filler is too hard to apply
This can happen if the mixture is left too long before application. Ensure you are mixing only what you need for immediate use and work quickly.
Sanding difficulty
Allow the filler to cure completely before sanding. If it's still gummy, it may not have cured properly; check mixing ratios and environmental conditions.
Poor adhesion
Ensure the wood surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like oil, wax, or dust before application.
