How To Use
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of loose material.
Using the flexible spatula provided on the lid, press the filler firmly into the crack or hole and smooth off surface; there is no need to overfill.
Lightly sand back any excess filler from the surface after product dries (30 minutes in thin applications).
Dust off any loose dust before painting with water-based paints. For oil-based paints allow 24 hours before painting.
Limitations:
Not recommended for use on plastic, metal or exterior timber likely to swell/shrink on absorption of water.
Product is not flexible so not suitable for use between surfaces that are subject the structural movement - use Selleys No More Gaps
Not recommended for use where load or compression occurs as product may be crushed e.g. behind a door if the knob touches against the wall.
Nailing this product is not recommended.
Avoid using below 5°C or in wet conditions.
Handy Tips
Painting with oil-based paints is not recommended until 24 hours after filler has been applied.
Water based paints may be used immediately after filler has set.
If filler is found to have stiffened prior to use, stir product. Product that has actually hardened should be discarded. If still too dry add one teaspoon of water and stir again to desired consistency.
Application tools may be cleaned with water.
Before painting, clean dust and filler particles using Selleys Sugar Soap or Selleys Super Kleen.
In exterior applications, protect from rain until dry and painted over with 2 coats of paint.
Some paints may temporarily discolour when applied over the filler, but will revert to the correct colour once dry.
For applications more than 2mm deep, or in cold or humid conditions, expect longer drying times.
Keep container closed when not in use.
Clean Up
Uncured product may be removed with water.
Cured product can be removed by scraping or sanding.
