Soudal Repair Express 1-Part Wood Filler is meticulously formulated to cater to both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople, providing a dependable solution for wood repairs. This pre-mixed, paste-consistency product simplifies the application process, eliminating the need for mixing or special preparations before use. As a water-based product, it offers the advantages of easy cleanup and minimal environmental impact.
The filler's air curing system allows it to dry quickly under normal atmospheric conditions, with the curing time dependent on the depth of the fill - typically setting within 1 to 8 hours. It achieves a maximum fill depth of 25mm, making it ideal for substantial repairs without the risk of shrinking or cracking.
Once cured, the surface becomes perfectly compatible with all finishing processes. It can be easily sanded to a fine finish, painted to match the surrounding woodwork, or stained to enhance the natural wood appearance. The versatility of colour options ensures a close match with original wood surfaces, enhancing aesthetic appeal and maintaining consistency in appearance.
Designed for durability, the filler withstands the rigours of both indoor and outdoor environments. Its water-resistant properties ensure longevity and protection against the elements when used externally, while its low odour and non-hazardous composition make it a safe and pleasant choice for indoor applications.

The Soudal Repair Express 1-Part Wood Filler ensures effective, lasting repairs with an easy application process, making it an essential product for woodworking and maintenance tasks.
Soudal Repair Express 1-Part Wood Filler is suitable for use on all common types of wood, including softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered woods such as MDF and chipboard.
Its versatile formulation is designed to adhere well and provide durability, whether used indoors or outdoors. However, it is essential to ensure that the wood type and the environment are compatible with the product's specifications.
To achieve the best results, the surface must be clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such as oil or grease.
Start by thoroughly cleaning the area with a suitable cleaner and allow it to dry completely. For surfaces adjacent to the repair site, use Masking Tape to protect them from accidental spills or over-application of the filler.
It is crucial to remove this tape within 5 minutes of applying the filler to prevent it from becoming embedded in the dried material.
Apply the filler directly from the tub into the crack, gap, or area needing repair. The filler should be applied in thin layers, each up to 5mm thick, allowing each layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
This step-by-step layering process is critical to avoid trapping air behind the filler and to ensure that each layer adheres properly, minimizing the risk of cracking or flaking.
For deeper repairs, up to the maximum depth of 25mm, continue to layer the filler while monitoring the drying time, which will vary depending on the thickness and environmental conditions.
Once the filler has dried, which may take between 1 to 8 hours depending on the depth of the fill and ambient conditions, it can be prepared for finishing.
Sand the area to a smooth finish, blending the edges into the surrounding wood to ensure a seamless appearance. The dried filler is compatible with most types of paint and stains.
However, a compatibility test is recommended before commencing full-scale painting or staining. This ensures that the chosen finish will adhere well and achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
Tools and any accidental spillages should be cleaned immediately with water while the filler is still wet. Once the filler has dried, it will be more challenging to remove, requiring more aggressive cleaning methods.
Regular cleaning of the application tools will maintain their effectiveness for future use.
