FAQs

Can I use Polycell Exterior Polyfilla Powder indoors?

This product is specifically formulated for outdoor use and is not recommended for indoor applications.

How long does it take to fully cure?

The filler sets in approximately 60 minutes under normal conditions. It can be painted or drilled once fully dry, typically a few hours after setting, depending on depth and environmental factors.

Is it suitable for filling large holes?

Yes, it is suitable for any size or depth of repair. For deeper repairs (over 10mm), it is best to apply in layers, allowing each layer to dry.

Can I paint over the filler?

Yes, once fully dry, the filler can be painted. Priming with a suitable alkali-resistant primer is recommended before painting for best results.

What is the recommended mixing ratio?

The general recommendation is approximately 4.5 parts filler powder to 1 part water. Mix to a smooth paste.

Will it withstand freezing temperatures?

Yes, the cured filler is waterproof and frost-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.

Can I drill or screw into the filler after it has set?

Yes, the hardened filler is drillable and will accept bolts and screws, providing a secure base for fixings.

Troubleshooting

Filler not setting or setting too slowly.

Ensure the correct powder-to-water ratio is used. Check for very low temperatures or high humidity, which can affect setting times. Ensure the powder has not been exposed to moisture during storage.

Shrinking or cracking after drying.

For deeper repairs, ensure the filler is applied in layers, allowing each to dry. Ensure the surface preparation was adequate, removing all loose material. Avoid applying too thickly in a single layer for deep fills.

Difficulty smoothing the filler.

Work with smaller batches if the 15-minute workable time is insufficient. Ensure the application tool is clean and suitable for smoothing. Dampen tools slightly if needed, but avoid adding excess water to the mix.

Powder appears lumpy or hardened in the bag.

The powder has likely been exposed to moisture. Store in a dry environment and check that the packaging is sealed properly. If hardened, it may not mix to a usable paste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface and cracks are clean, free of loose material, and dry. For very porous surfaces, moisten the area lightly before application.
  2. Mixing Ratio: Combine approximately 4.5 parts filler powder to 1 part water. Adjust water slightly for desired consistency and porous surfaces.
  3. Paste Consistency: Mix to a smooth, lump-free paste. The mixture remains workable for about 15 minutes.
  4. Application: Fill the area slightly proud of the surface. Smooth level with the surrounding area before the filler sets.
  5. Deeper Repairs: For repairs exceeding 10mm in depth, apply in layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.

Tool Cleaning:

Remove excess filler from tools immediately after use. Clean tools thoroughly with warm water.

Storage:

Store any unused powder in dry conditions to maintain its quality.

Painting:

Once fully dry, the filler can be painted. It is recommended to prime the filled area first with a suitable alkali-resistant primer.
