Product Information

Full details

This Metolux White Wood Filler is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to repair minor imperfections in wood, MDF, and chipboard. Its primary benefit is providing a quick and effective solution for filling small pinholes and cracks up to 5mm deep, offering a strong, pre-coloured finish. A key consideration is its suitability for face-up applications, meaning it may not be ideal for vertical repairs without additional support.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum depth this filler can be applied?

The Metolux White Wood Filler is designed for filling cracks and pinholes up to 5mm deep.

Does this filler require mixing with another component?

No, this is a single-component wood filler and does not require mixing.

Can I paint over the filler once it's dry?

Yes, once fully dry and hardened, the filler can be sanded smooth and painted to match surrounding surfaces.

Is this filler suitable for outdoor use?

While it provides a strong repair, it is primarily designed for internal use. For external applications, consider a filler specifically formulated for weather resistance.

How long does the filler take to dry?

The drying time can vary depending on application thickness and environmental conditions, but it is designed for relatively fast drying to allow for subsequent steps.

What kind of tools should I use to apply it?

A filling knife or spatula is typically used for application. Ensure tools are cleaned immediately after use.

Can this filler be used to repair large holes?

This filler is intended for small pinholes and cracks up to 5mm deep. For larger holes, multiple applications of thin layers may be possible, but other products might be more suitable.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too hard to apply

Ensure the product has not exceeded its shelf life and has been stored correctly. If slightly hardened, it might be usable if stirred vigorously, but performance may be compromised.

Filler shrinks significantly after drying

Apply in thin layers (max 5mm) and allow each layer to cure fully before applying the next. Overfilling in a single application can lead to shrinkage.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from dust, paint, or grease before application. Sanding the surface lightly can also improve adhesion.

Filler crumbles or flakes off

This can happen if applied too thickly or if the surface was not properly prepared. Ensure the area is stable and the filler is applied to a sound surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a single-component filler and requires no mixing. Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Apply directly from the container using a appropriate filling knife or spatula.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most types of wood, including hardwoods and softwoods, as well as engineered wood products like MDF and chipboard. It is not recommended for use on plastics or metals.

Care: Store the filler in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying out. Unused filler should be disposed of according to local regulations.
