Directions (general guide)
Surface prep: Ensure the area is clean, dry, sound and free of dust, oil or loose material. For very porous substrates, lightly dampen to reduce rapid suction.
Mix: Add powder to clean water and blend to a smooth, lump-free paste. Adjust water to suit application (thicker for filling, looser for fairing/skim).
Apply: Press firmly into cracks or voids with a putty knife or trowel. Overfill slightly so you can sand back flush.
Cure: Allow to dry thoroughly. Dry time varies with thickness, temperature and humidity.
Finish: Sand to profile. Prime and paint or seal. For exterior applications, always seal after full dry.
Exterior use guidance
This is a hard-setting, non-flexible compound. For exterior use, only apply over stable substrates with minimal expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Ensure the putty is fully dry before sealing with a suitable exterior-grade coating.
Finishing & compatibility
Paintable and sealable after full dry; prime as required for best results.
Can be cut, carved, drilled and sanded after cure without crumbling.
For stained timber finishes, test a small area first for colour and absorption.
Pro tips
Mix small batches and use promptly.
For deep voids, apply in layers if needed, allowing each layer to firm before the next.
Store powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its unlimited shelf life.
Clean tools with water before material cures.
