FAQs
What surfaces can Tetrosyl Color Cure 2K Fibrofil be used on?
It is ideal for metal and glass fibre surfaces commonly found on cars and other vehicles.
How much hardener should I mix with the filler?
The recommended mix ratio is 100 parts filler to 2 parts hardener.
When can I sand the filler after application?
You can sand the filler after approximately 20 minutes at a temperature of 20°C, using P80+ sandpaper.
Can this filler be used in a paint oven?
Yes, it is suitable for low bake oven systems at 80-90°C.
What is the main benefit of the glass fibre reinforcement?
The glass fibre provides exceptional strength and adhesion, making it perfect for bridging holes and reinforcing damaged areas.
How should I store the filler?
Store the filler in a cool area, away from frost. Keep it cool in summer and warm in winter to maintain optimal consistency.
What should I do if I accidentally put unused mixed filler back in the tin?
Never return unused mixed paste to the tin. Doing so can contaminate the remaining product and affect its performance.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening or curing properly
Ensure the correct mix ratio of filler to hardener (100:2) is used. Verify that the hardener is not expired and has been stored correctly. Check ambient temperature; extremely cold conditions can slow curing.
Filler is too hard to sand after application
This can occur if too much hardener was used or if the ambient temperature was very high. In future applications, ensure precise mixing and appropriate working conditions.
Poor adhesion to the surface
The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure the substrate is free from grease, dirt, and rust. Use Tetrosyl Compliant Panel Wipe for optimal cleaning.
Filler cracks after application
This is often due to excessive hardener use, applying too thick a layer without proper support, or attempting to sand too aggressively before full cure. Ensure correct mixing and apply in manageable layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Before application, ensure the surface is clean and free from contaminants. For best results, use Tetrosyl Compliant Panel Wipe to thoroughly clean the area.
Mixing: The filler requires a specific mix ratio: 100 parts filler to 2 parts hardener. Accurate measurement is crucial for proper curing. Never return unused mixed filler to the original tin, as this can contaminate the remaining product.
Application: Apply the mixed filler using a suitable spreader. Work the filler into the damaged area, ensuring good adhesion and coverage.
Sanding: The filler can be sanded after approximately 20 minutes at 20°C. Use P80+ sandpaper for initial shaping.
Curing: The filler is suitable for low bake oven systems at 80-90°C. Avoid using excessive amounts of hardener, as this can lead to stress and cracking.
Storage: Store the filler in a cool area, away from frost. In hot weather, keep the paste cool; in cold weather, keep it warm to ensure optimal consistency and working properties.
