Product Information
Full details
The Bartoline Lightweight Filler in White is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a high-tech, ready-to-use solution for interior and exterior filling tasks. Its key benefit is its ultra-modern glass bead technology, which allows for deep fills without sagging or shrinkage, even on ceilings, and dries to a smooth, brilliant white finish that requires no sanding and can be overpainted in just 30 minutes. A key caveat is its unsuitability for use on plastics and metals, and it must be protected from rain during setting when used externally.

FAQs
Can I use this filler on wood?

How long does it take to dry completely?
The filler can be overpainted in approximately 30 minutes. Full drying time will vary depending on the depth of the fill and ambient conditions.
Do I need to sand this filler?
No, the product dries to a perfectly smooth finish that typically requires no sanding. However, it can be sanded if required.
Is this filler suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is suitable for exterior use, but it must be protected from rain during setting and sealed with an oil-based paint to protect from weathering afterwards.
What surfaces is this filler not suitable for?
This filler is not suitable for use on plastics or metals.
How should I store the filler?
Replace the lid firmly and store in a cool, dry place, not below 5°C. Protect from frost.
What if the filler seems too dry when I open it?
Add a single drop of water to the product and mix thoroughly. Be careful not to add too much water.
Troubleshooting
Filler is too stiff or dry
Add a single drop of water to the product and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water.
Filler sags or shrinks in large gaps
This filler is designed not to sag or shrink. Ensure it is pressed firmly into the cavity and smoothed over. For exceptionally deep areas, multiple thin layers might still be considered if application issues persist, though not typically necessary.
Product cracks after drying
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, dust-free) and that the filler was pressed firmly into the cavity. Avoid applying in temperatures below 5°C.
Difficulty overpainting
Ensure the filler is completely dry (allow at least 30 minutes, longer in damp conditions). If a perfectly smooth finish was not achieved, light sanding might be required before painting.
