Troubleshooting
Filler is not setting properly.
Ensure the correct hardener-to-filler ratio has been used. Check the ambient temperature and ventilation as cooler temperatures can slow curing. Inadequate mixing may also cause setting issues. In case of issues, clean the area and start again.
Filler is too difficult to sand.
Ensure the filler is fully cured before sanding. Check the sandpaper grit; a coarser grit may be required initially, followed by a finer grit for a smooth finish.
Filler appears to crack after application.
Ensure that the filler is applied in thin layers. Apply additional layers only after the previous layer has fully cured. Ensure that the surface is clean to provide proper adhesion.
Filler is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of any contaminants before application. Rough up smooth surfaces to provide better adhesion. Ensure the correct hardener-to-filler ratio has been used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Clean the surface by removing all dirt, grease, moisture, and loose material. Ensure all mixing equipment is clean.
- Mixing: Mix 1 part hardener to 50 parts filler (approximately a pea-sized amount of hardener to a golf ball-sized amount of filler, or 2%). Mix thoroughly until the hardener is dispersed and no streaks are visible.
- Application: Apply the filler immediately with the spreader. Work within a 5-minute window before setting begins.
- Curing: The paste will become fully cured and sandable after 20 minutes at 18°C (65°F). Higher temperatures will accelerate curing, while cooler temperatures will slow it down.
- Sanding: Sand the repair down to the required level only when the paste is fully set. Repeat if necessary.
- Storage: Keep the filler cool in summer and warm in winter. Avoid using too much hardener, and do not return unused paste to the tin.
