Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this be used on damp walls? For best results and long-term adhesion, ensure the surface is dry and free from loose dust or oil before application.

2. Do I need to prime the filler before painting? While it is highly paintable, we recommend a spot-prime on the repaired area to ensure uniform absorption of the topcoat, especially when using high-gloss paints.

3. Is it suitable for deep holes? It is optimized for cracks and holes up to 5 mm deep. For significantly deeper cavities, we recommend applying in layers and allowing each layer to dry thoroughly.
