This Polycell Polyfilla for Wood General Repairs in Dark (330g) is ideal for DIYers and homeowners needing to fix minor imperfections in interior and exterior wooden surfaces. Its key benefit is a quick-drying, durable, and sandable finish that accepts paint, stain, or varnish in just 2 hours, allowing for rapid project completion. A potential caveat is that the filler may accept stains or varnishes differently than the surrounding wood, so testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended.

You can fill holes up to 10mm deep in a single application. For deeper damage, apply in layers of approximately 10mm, allowing each layer to dry for about 2 hours before applying the next.
The filler is quick drying and can typically be painted, stained, or varnished in about 2 hours, depending on ambient conditions like temperature and humidity.
Yes, this Polyfilla for Wood General Repairs is water-resistant and suitable for both interior and exterior use.
No, the formulation is designed to provide a tough and durable fill that will not shrink or crack.
Yes, the cured filler is hard enough to be nailed or screwed into.
Clean your tools with warm water immediately after use, before the filler has hardened. Ensure the product cap is replaced securely after use.
It's recommended to test the finishing product on a small, concealed area of the filled repair first to check for color compatibility. Try to match the filler color to the surrounding wood as closely as possible.
Ensure the product has not been stored in freezing conditions. Try kneading the tube more vigorously. If still too hard, the product may be past its usable life.
This is unusual as the product is designed not to shrink or crack. Ensure you did not apply a layer thicker than 10mm without allowing sufficient drying time between layers. Ensure the area was properly prepared and free of moisture.
Test the stain or varnish on a small, hidden area of the filled section first to see how it takes. Try to match the filler color as closely as possible to the surface before filling. Consider painting over the filled area for a more uniform finish.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint before application. Lightly sanding the surface before application can improve adhesion.
Preparation: Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material or debris. For optimal adhesion, lightly sand the area if necessary.
Application: Knead the tube to mix the filler. Apply directly into the damage using a filling knife, ensuring it's worked well into the void. For deeper holes (over 10mm), apply in layers, allowing each layer to dry for approximately 2 hours before adding the next. It's recommended to leave the filler slightly proud of the surface to allow for sanding.
Finishing: Once fully dry, sand the filler smooth to match the surrounding surface. Dust off any residue. The filler can be painted, stained, or varnished. Note that the filler's appearance when stained or varnished might differ from the natural wood; test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Do not use with wood dye.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior and exterior wood repairs. Not recommended for filling gaps between floorboards or for use with wood dyes. For larger repairs, consider Polycell Polyfilla for Wood Large Repairs.
Tool Cleaning: Clean tools immediately after use with warm water. Ensure the tube cap is replaced securely after use. Store the product away from extreme temperatures and protect it from frost.
