Surface Preparation and Application:
1. Surface to be filled must be clean, dry and unglazed for best adhesion. Wood, wood filler and air
temperature should be 40
o
F or above.
2. Match wood filler color to finished wood. Test wood filler, stain and finish combination on a small area
first to ensure desired stain color.
3. If wood is to be stained, stain before filling with wood filler. Then use stain to develop desired final
finish. Please follow stain manufacturer’s instructions for application.
4. For canned products, stir product with putty knife or spatula before application.
5. If the wood filler has become too stiff or dry, thin with acetone.
6. Press wood filler firmly into place with a putty knife, spatula or tool. Avoid excess contact with
surrounding area. Build fill up slightly higher than surface to allow for settling and sanding.
7. Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding or finishing. Dries in as little as 15 minutes for shallow, low
volume fills and 2-24 hours in larger volume fills ¼” deep and over. Sand with medium sandpaper
(100 grit).
8. For larger and deeper repairs, apply two or more thin layers, allowing wood filler to dry between
applications. Overfill to allow for settling and sanding.
9. May be painted or stained immediately after sanding. Please follow stain/paint manufacturer’s
instructions for application.
