Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening
Ensure the correct ratio of hardener to filler is used. Also, check the expiration date and store the product correctly. The temperature might be too low. Increase the ambient temperature.
Filler is difficult to sand
Allow sufficient drying time (at least 20 minutes). Use fine-grade sandpaper and apply even pressure during sanding.
Filler shrinks after drying
Apply the filler in multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
Pinholes appear in the filler
Ensure thorough mixing of the filler and hardener. Apply the filler smoothly and avoid trapping air bubbles. Consider applying a second thin coat to fill any pinholes.
