FAQs
Can I use this filler outdoors?
Yes, Tetrion All Purpose Filler is suitable for exterior use and is water and weather resistant. For best results, over-paint with an oil-based paint.
How long does it take to set?
Setting occurs in approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the depth of the fill and atmospheric conditions. It can be sanded and overpainted after 24 hours.
What surfaces can I use this filler on?
It adheres to most household materials including plaster, wood, stone, concrete, brickwork, and metal.
Do I need to mix this filler?
No, this is a ready-mixed filler, meaning no dosing or mixing is required before application.
Can I drill into the filler after it has dried?
Yes, the dried filler is drillable and tappable, allowing for further work or attachments.
What is the maximum depth I can fill in one application?
For optimal adhesion, filler should be applied in layers no less than 3mm and no greater than 10mm.
How should I store leftover filler?
After use, replace the plastic disc and lid securely on the tube to ensure the remaining filler stays in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too hard to apply
Gently work the tube with your fingers before cutting the nozzle. Ensure the product has not expired.
Filler is sagging or cracking
Ensure filler is applied in layers between 3mm and 10mm thick. Deeper fills may require multiple applications with adequate setting time between layers.
Filler is not setting
Check application depth and environmental conditions. Very thick applications or cold, damp conditions can prolong setting time. Ensure product is within its shelf life.
Difficulty in sanding
Ensure filler has fully cured for at least 24 hours. If still gummy, it may not be fully dry. For excessively hard filler, use a coarser grit sandpaper initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation
Before applying, ensure all surfaces are dry, clean, and free from loose materials. For optimal adhesion, make sure the repair area is sound.
Application
- Gently work the tube with your fingers to ensure the filler is pliable.
- Cut the nozzle to the desired opening size for the application.
- Apply the filler using a filling tool, such as a putty knife or scraper.
- Immediately smooth the applied filler with a wet blade or smoothing tool.
Layering
For best results, apply filler in layers. Each layer should be no less than 3mm and no greater than 10mm thick. If a deeper fill is required, allow previous layers to set before applying subsequent ones.
Setting and Curing
Setting typically occurs within 4-6 hours, depending on the depth of the fill and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). The filler will be ready for sanding and overpainting after approximately 24 hours.
Compatibility
This filler is suitable for plaster, wood, stone, concrete, brickwork, and metal. It is over-paintable with most household paints.
External Use Painting
When using externally, over-paint with an oil-based paint for maximum weather resistance.
Internal Use Painting
When overpainting with a water-based paint internally, it is advisable to prime the dried filler with a suitable sealer first.
After Use
To preserve any remaining filler, ensure the plastic disc and lid are securely replaced on the tube immediately after use.
