How deep a hole can I fill in one application?

Troubleshooting

Filler is not drying properly.

Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and not excessively humid. Allow additional drying time.

Color mismatch after painting/staining.

Test the paint or stain on a small, inconspicuous area of the filled surface before applying to the entire repair.

Filler cracking after drying.

Ensure that you are not applying more than 10mm in a single layer. For deeper fills, apply in layers, allowing each layer to dry completely.
