Metolux 2-Part Wood Filler

METOLUX PROFESSIONAL 2 PART WOOD FILLER

Metolux two-part woodfillers are commonly used to repair/fill medium size holes and imperfections in wooden components.  After sanding the filler provides a smooth finish which can be coated with most primers, paints and lacquers and will accept nails, screws and staples. These products are a two-part, polyester resin based system, giving the benefits of a fast curing system with outstanding performance and are suitable for both internal and external applications.

Wood fillers are available in a selection of colours designed to match the most commonly used woods.  Any of the colours in the range can be blended together to produce a user specific shade.

They are also available in a Light and Dark shade ‘stainable’ formulation, which readily accept most wood stains and dyes.  These have been designed to blend in with the wood after the stain or dye is applied to give a superior finish.

Prior to application, all surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from oil or grease. On old timber, any rotten or weak areas should be cut back to solid timber. Smooth areas should be slightly abraded to ensure a good key is obtained.

To mix the product simply add the hardener to the paste on a suitable board. Mixing should be carried out by spatula or stiff knife until a smooth, even coloured mix is obtained. Ensure that the filler is scraped clear of the mixing board at least once. This ensures that all the filler is mixed with the hardener and no uncured material will therefore be used.

The product should be mixed in the proportion of 50 parts base to 1 part hardener (a golf ball volume of base to 1.5 inch strip of hardener).

As this is a fast curing filler, it is recommended that only small quantities are mixed at a time - enough to be applied within 5 minutes of mixing.

Apply the product using a putty knife, spatula or similar direct to the area of timber to be repaired. Shape the product as required with a spreader or flat former. Leave enough excess proud of the surface to allow for sanding. For deep filling it may be necessary to build the product up in layers. plastic shuttering may also be used to produce a smooth straight edge but only remove when the filler has cured. Allow to cure before finishing. It is important that the total surface of the repair is fully sanded to ensure that the stain or finish can fully penetrate. Certain timbers are highly absorbent which may result in the filler being more noticeable. It is recommended that trials are conducted on an inconspicuous area prior to full scale production to ensure suitability.
