Thanks for the video Justin. I've just had a frustrating day with this stuff, it's impossible to mix small quantities accurately (50 g filler to 38 mm hardener is just too extreme) and you don't have time to fill a number of holes, you have to do a number of mixes.
I've just Stained my decking today after using this filler in some places, some big some small and it shows right through. I'm using ronseal rich mahogany stain, is there anything to your knowledge I can do to match or blend in before my second coat?
with woodstain you need to apply three coats anyway if not 4 but it's best to use as little filler as possible really for small holes dents best to colour match a wax stick filler
AWESOME! This is great info and tutorial for me cuz I’m a newbie with a project to do. BTW I have no idea what I’m doing but this video is a GREAT start. Thank you!
The one problem I am having is trying to smooth the paste out, it sticks to everything, do you have advice on what if you can use on the metal/plastic spatula to stop it from sticking
I've used this product on a window frame, now I want to paint and put fresh glazing putty. Does anybody know if water based undercoat will soften the hardened Ronseal filler and ruin it? Should I use an oil based undercoat or will this ruin the Wood Filler? Should I paint undercoat before I apply the putty, will the linseed oil in the putty soften and ruin the wood filler if applied directly to it? Thanks
Yes it's excellent stuff I agree, but for the love of god wear at least a PPF3 mask when sanding it! Even if you are making a video showing it off and want to be clearly heard; tell the viewers to wear one ffsake!
I have a tv cabinet in pine. I want to paint it white. I have a bit of damage to the door like the notch chunk you filled in. That is a big tub of filler. What is the difference in buying the smaller 325 gr tooth paste style tube version compared to the tub you have in the video? As I only need filler for a very small job. If the video person Justin, could help or a member of the public. Thanks.
Hi, Justin. Can this filler be used to fill a half-inch deep, six-inch-wide hole on an MDF kitchen table? The table has fold away chairs that fit under the drop-leaf sides. Unfortunately, a bottle of wife's cleaning Peroxide leaked on it and caused it to blister the Formica wood effect finish and swell the MDF fibres underneath. I've cleaned out the loose wood and want to fill it and then cover it with a wood pattern Fablon sticky-backed plastic, but don't know what filler to use. She wants to buy another table for nearly £350 but I'd rather have a go at fixing it and buy myself a new rod & reel for sea fishing! The Fablon only costs £6! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
OK.. So the tin should be square to make it easier to get the filler out. The filler with even a small amount of hardener goes off too quickly. It shrinks when it fully cures so you have to go over it again. It's near impossible to stain so really only practical to use with a painted surface. I would say this limits this products usage.
Hi Justin, Is this any good for filling gaps in the floor board for surface preparation (e.g. before putting down lino)? I hear Timbermate is good but I was not able to find in UK. Not sure how this compares. Appreciate your feedback on this question. Many thanks
An excellent demonstration - thank you. I'm having to build up the bottom legs of a number of MDF radiator covers (why are they all 82 cm high?) by about 7 cm. I was thinking of either using MDF or simply creating a former for a 2-part wood filler to create the extra high - I know this can be readily sanded down to a very smooth finish. I will be doing this before assembling them as they come in a flat-pack - any suggestions on the viability of using a former that will be easy to remove from the wood filler once it is dry?
Hello mate, do you know if you can use this on chipboard or am I wasting my time? Got an ikea wardrobe door (with mirror) where the hinge screws have come out. Thanks for any advice you can give
Justin wear a dust mask or respirator mask when working with this stuff especially. The fumes are potent, and the chemicals it’s made from are likely to do your lungs no good at all in the long run. I understand it’s difficult to make this type of video with you mouth and nose covered. Cheers. P.S. Promote methods to keep the lifespans of trades people long, Health and Safety 1st. Priority.
@@JBTV I phoned Ronseal this morning because the filler I applied on a piece of MDF was still slightly soft. The technical person at Ronseal told me that it only works on wood and not MDF. The filler in the MDF had not gone off although the filler on the board that I had mixed the filler had all gone rock hard
