- Do not nail through filler. Avoid use below 5°C or in wet conditions.
Handy Tips
- Wait 24 hours before painting with oil-based paints.
- Water-based paints can be applied once the filler has set.
- If filler thickens, stir before use. If too dry, add a small amount of water and mix.
- Clean tools with water after use.
- Before painting, clean with Selleys Sugar Soap Cleaner Concentrate 1L or Selleys Sugar Soap Wipes x25.
- For outdoor applications, protect from rain until dry and painted with two coats.
- Deeper repairs (over 2mm) may require longer drying times.
