Sanding the Wood Substrate: Begin by sanding the wood substrate to achieve a smooth and even surface. Collect the resulting powder or dust from the sanding process, as it will be mixed with the filler gel.
Mixing the Filler Gel: In a clean container, combine the collected powder or dust from the wood substrate with the Fiddes Spirit-Based Gel Filler. Mix them together thoroughly until a smooth paste is formed. Adjust the amount of powder or dust as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Filling the Joint or Gap: Apply the mixed filler paste generously into the joint or gap using a suitable tool, such as a putty knife or spatula. Ensure that the joint or gap is completely filled to the maximum capacity. Smooth the surface of the filler paste to create an even finish.
Drying Time: Allow the filler to dry completely for approximately 30-60 minutes. The drying time may vary depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. Ensure that the filler is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Final Sanding: Once the filler has dried, proceed with the final sanding of the substrate. Use appropriate sandpaper or sanding equipment to level the filler with the surrounding wood surface. Sand gently and gradually to achieve a seamless blend between the filled area and the rest of the substrate.

Important Tips:

Always apply the filler in dry, non-humid conditions and at room temperature to ensure optimal drying and adhesion.
Clean the applicators, such as putty knives or spatulas, with Acetone after use to remove any residue and maintain their effectiveness.

By following these application instructions, you can effectively fill joints and gaps in wood flooring with Fiddes Spirit-Based Gel Filler. Achieve a smooth and professional finish that prepares the substrate for the next steps in your wood flooring project.
