FAQs
Can this filler be used outdoors?
This product is designed for interior use. It may not withstand weather conditions and UV exposure.
Do I need to sand the filler before painting?
No, a key feature of this decorator's filler is that it does not require sanding before being painted or covered with wallpaper.
How long does the filler take to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of the application and ambient conditions. Allow sufficient time for it to dry completely before decorating.
What surfaces can this filler be applied to?
It can be used on most common interior building surfaces, including plaster, wood, and masonry, around skirting boards, cornices, frames, and fixtures.
Will the filler crack if the wall moves slightly?
The formula is designed to flex and stretch with minor movement, which helps to prevent cracking for a long-lasting repair.
Can I use this filler for large holes?
This filler is ideal for sealing and filling cracks and gaps. For very large holes, multiple applications of thinner layers may be needed, or a different type of filler might be more appropriate.
How should I store the filler?
Store in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Filler shrinks significantly after drying
Apply in multiple thinner layers rather than one thick layer. Ensure the gap is not excessively deep for a single application.
Filler cracks after application
This is uncommon due to the flexible formula. Ensure surfaces are not subject to significant structural movement. If cracking occurs, it may indicate excessive movement beyond the filler's capability or improper application.
Filler is difficult to apply smoothly
Ensure the filler is at room temperature. If it feels too stiff, it may be slightly dried out; consider if the product is old or has been improperly stored.
Paint or wallpaper does not adhere well
Ensure the filler is completely dry before painting or wallpapering. Dust off any residue. For best results, use compatible paint and wallpaper adhesive.
