Preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for a strong, long-lasting repair. Follow these steps carefully to ensure the filler adheres correctly and delivers a smooth, professional finish:

Remove all dust, dirt, grease, oil, wax, or loose particles from the repair surface.
For best results, wipe the area with a clean, dry cloth. For heavily soiled surfaces, use a mild detergent and allow the timber to dry completely.
Scrape away any splinters, rot, or decayed timber from the repair area.
Ensure edges are solid and stable, as the filler will bond best to sound, undamaged wood.
Moisture can prevent proper adhesion and compromise curing.
Ensure the timber is fully dry before mixing and applying the filler. A moisture content below 15% is ideal.
Avoid surfaces with paint, varnish, or other coatings unless these are removed or lightly sanded.
Any residue may interfere with adhesion or cause uneven colour.
Lightly sand the repair area using medium-grit sandpaper to create a slightly roughened surface.
This improves the mechanical bond between the filler and the timber, particularly for larger repairs.
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before mixing and applying the filler.

Proper preparation ensures the filler will adhere firmly, cure correctly, and deliver a flawless finish.

Application

Achieve professional, durable wood repairs by following these simple steps for mixing, applying, and finishing Metolux 2 Part Styrene-Free Wood Filler.

Place the required amount of base paste onto a suitable mixing board.
Add hardener at a ratio of 50 parts base to 1 part hardener (roughly a golf-ball-sized amount of base to a pea-sized amount of hardener).
Mix thoroughly using a spatula or stiff knife until the mixture is smooth and even in colour.
Scrape the filler from the board at least once during mixing to ensure all material is fully combined.
Important: Only mix small quantities at a time, enough to apply within 5 minutes, as this is a fast-curing filler.
Apply the mixed filler directly to the repair area using a putty knife, spatula, or similar tool.
Shape and smooth the filler using a spreader or flat former.
Leave the filler slightly proud of the surface to allow for sanding.
For deeper repairs, build the filler in layers, allowing each layer to cure before applying the next.
Plastic shuttering can be used to create smooth, straight edges; remove once the filler has fully cured.
Typical gel time is approximately 10 minutes at 15°C, reaching full strength in 30 minutes.
Curing times may vary depending on hardener amount, mixed volume, and ambient temperature.
Once fully cured, sand the repair thoroughly to ensure the surface is smooth and ready to accept stains or finishes.
Metolux Filler is paintable and stainable, but highly absorbent timbers may show the filler more prominently.
Conduct a trial on an inconspicuous area before large-scale finishing to ensure colour match and suitability.
