Product Information

Full details

The Bartoline Ready Mixed All Purpose Filler in White is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tackling interior and exterior repairs. Its key benefit is offering a quick-drying, easy-to-sand solution for filling cracks, holes, and imperfections in various surfaces like plaster, wood, and brick, achieving a smooth finish that's ready for painting. A key caveat is that for exterior use, the filled area must be sealed with oil-based paint and protected from water until sealed, as it is not suitable for areas constantly exposed to water.

FAQs

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies based on layer thickness and ambient conditions, but it is a quick-drying formula, typically ready for sanding within 30-60 minutes.

Can I use this filler for deep holes?

Yes, but for deeper holes or larger areas, apply the filler in thin layers, no thicker than 6mm, allowing each layer to set before adding the next to prevent cracking or shrinkage.

What kind of paint can I use over it?

The filler dries white and can be easily overpainted with most standard emulsion paints. For exterior use, it must be sealed with an oil-based paint first.

Is this filler suitable for bathroom or kitchen walls?

It can be used on interior walls, but for areas subject to frequent moisture, ensure it is properly sealed with an appropriate paint after application and curing.

How should I clean my tools after using this filler?

Clean your tools with water immediately after use, before the filler has a chance to set hard.

Can this filler be used on UPVC or plastic?

The product description specifies suitability for plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone. It is not explicitly stated for use on UPVC or plastic.

What are the storage conditions?

Store the filler in a cool, dry place with the lid firmly replaced. Protect the product from frost.

Troubleshooting

Filler cracks after drying

This can occur if applied too thickly. For larger areas, apply filler in layers no more than 6mm thick, allowing each layer to set before applying the next.

Filler shrinks significantly below the surface

Apply the filler slightly proud (raised) of the surrounding surface. Once fully set, it can be sanded down to a fine, level finish.

Difficulty sanding

Ensure the filler is completely dry before attempting to sand. Use medium-grit sandpaper for initial shaping and fine-grit for smoothing.

Product has dried out in the container

Ensure the lid was replaced firmly after each use. If only slightly dried, a small amount of water may help rehydrate it, but performance may be affected. For heavily dried product, a new container is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient ready-mixed formula saves preparation time.
  • Quick drying allows for faster project completion.
  • Easy sanding leads to a smoother finish with less effort.
  • Versatile for use on multiple common building materials.
  • Suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Cons

  • Requires sealing with oil-based paint for exterior durability against water.
  • Not suitable for areas that are regularly submerged or exposed to constant water.
  • Application in layers is recommended for larger areas to prevent shrinkage or cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surfaces to be filled are clean, dry, and free from dust. For best adhesion, loose paint or debris should be removed.

Compatibility: Suitable for plaster, plasterboard, brick, wood, and stone. For exterior use, the cured filler must be sealed with an oil-based paint to protect it from moisture. It is not recommended for use on surfaces that are regularly under water.

Care: After use, replace the lid firmly to prevent the filler from drying out. Clean tools immediately with water before the filler hardens. Store the product in a frost-free environment.
