FAQs

Can I use this filler on exterior surfaces?

Yes, it is suitable for exterior use but ensure the surface is protected with a suitable paint or coating.

How long does it take for the filler to fully cure?

While it dries to a paintable state in 30 minutes, full curing may take up to 24 hours depending on the depth of the gap and environmental conditions.

Can I sand the filler?

Yes, once dry, you can sand the filler to achieve a smooth surface before painting or wallpapering.

What should I do if the filler shrinks?

Overfill the gap slightly to account for shrinkage. For deeper gaps, apply in multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry completely.

What is the shelf life of the Everbuild Deep Gap Filler?

Check the product packaging for the expiration date. Generally, it has a shelf life of around 12 months when stored correctly.

Can I apply this filler over existing paint?

It is best to remove any loose paint before applying the filler. Lightly sand the area to improve adhesion.

How do I clean the tools after use?

Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Do I need to prime the filler before painting?

Priming is recommended for optimal paint adhesion, particularly on porous surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Filler is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris. Consider lightly sanding the surface to improve adhesion.

Filler is cracking after drying.

Ensure that the gap is not too deep for a single application. If necessary, apply in multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry completely.

Filler is shrinking excessively.

Ensure that the product is within its shelf life and stored properly. Overfill slightly to compensate for shrinkage.

Filler is not drying properly.

Ensure the product is not expired. Check the ambient temperature and humidity levels; excessive humidity can slow down the drying process.

Difficulty in smoothing the filler.

Use a wet filling knife or spatula to smooth the surface, or consider using a fine-grit sandpaper after the filler has dried.
