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.
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!
I loved the clip, however, you simply lifted your lid off the tin!! I couldn’t budge mine. By the time I had finished prising it off with a screwdriver, it looked like it had completed 10 cycles in my washing machine. It took longer than the application.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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 watched this to find out how to open the tin ! No luck - Justin had pre-opened his!
Same 😂
Just found this I'm a complete newbie. Like all the details- very informative. Wasn't aware it came in colours so that's a handy tip
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!
Thank you for your excellent video. You have clear diction and your actions are easy to follow.
Thank you 👍

Useful. Thanks for sharing. Your great wood filling obsession is appreciated.
Thinking about using this to help me with wood rot in a camper project i have
great product but if you want the top to look the same the stainer will look different on the filler, so thats the problem
Thank you, I'll be trying this filler soon on my front door
No better than car body filler and more expensive. You can absolutely see where it’s been applied beneath stain, varnish or wax.

Yes it can be a bit sticky, avoid using too much hardener, and get all the filling done asap
An excellent demonstration - thank you.

High price wood filler. Works well but I use body filler never had a problem.

I wish you show us how to open that can

Morning can I use this to join my log cabin flat logs to fill in between each plank
Hmmm..... not sure 🤔
nice video, do you need a pilot hole for a screw, or can just screw it in?
I would definitely use a pilot hole
thanks for the great video. if using on pine floorboards that will later be painted white, what colour filler is best in your opinion?
Get the white one, but even if you get the brown one, once the undercoat primer goes on it'll be fine.
@@JBTV thanks!

Which ever way you approach it, you won't ruin the filler. Prime it, then putty.
Thanks for the info and quick reply
Its good for melamine board too ?to fill the holes?
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
I would definitely give it a go, you can screw into it as long as you pilot drill the holes, good luck 👍
How can I soften/moisten the unmixed high performance wood filler if it's a bit dried out?
Not sure..... 🤔
Soften it with a new tin?
Using Ronseal woodstain over the filler is a tricky business. It never matches the stained wood for me.
True, it never matches the wood you've filled either
Just checking.For big sections I presume to fill in sections.Do you need mask to avoid breathing dust particles from filler.
Watched it using headphones! The intro deafened me! Cheers?
Sorry man.. 🙏

Can it be used on plastic?
Not sure, I probably wouldn't
@@JBTV Im 3d printing and ive heard that it works good with elmers wood filler. I couldnt find any so i bought this brand instead, we'll see i guess
That is very good

Fumes are not toxic. Read the COSHH
Does this have a realy strong smell
It does have a strong smell yes, not too bad though, and not as bad as oil based paint.
A bit long-winded, Justin. The filler had gone hard by the time the video ended. I'll give it a like anyway.
😅😅😅 you didn't watch first then mixed your filler 😅
Wood filler To seal. Rhys
WARNING this filler does NOT work with MDF.
How come? I've always used it with MDF and never had any issues....

Oh the music...stop
I can't believe that you sanded that filler without a protective mask over your nose and mouth. The dust from it cannot be good for the lungs!
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!
