TIMBAFIL CRAFTSMAN
Timbafil Craftsman is a high quality two part polyester stainable woodfiller offering the user
the benefits of a fast cure system, easy application, exceptional performance and readily
accepts most stains.
Super smooth, easy sanding once cured, Timbafil Craftsman can be machined, drilled, nailed,
screwed and stapled. Timbafil Craftsman can be finished with most stains, primers, paints
and surface finishes. Timbafil Craftsman is suitable for internal and external use.
PREPARATION
Prior to application, all surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from oil or grease. On
old timber, any rotten or weak areas should be cut back to solid timber. Smooth areas should
be slightly abraded to ensure a good key is obtained.
MIXING
To mix Timbafil Craftsman, simply add Speedset hardener to the pre-coloured paste on a
suitable board. Mixing should be carried out by spatula or stiff knife until a smooth, even
coloured mix is obtained. Ensure that the filler is scraped clear of the mixing board at least
once. This ensures that all the filler is mixed with the Speedset and no uncured material will
therefore be used.
Timbafil Craftsman should be mixed in the proportion of 50 parts base to 1 part Speedset (a
golf ball volume of Timbafil Craftsman to a 1.5 inch strip of Speedset).
As Timbafil Craftsman is a fast curing filler, it is recommended that only small quantities are
mixed at a time - enough to be applied within 5 minutes of mixing.

REVISION 2
APPLICATION
Apply Timbafil Craftsman using a putty knife, spatula or similar direct to the area of timber
to be repaired. Shape the Timbafil Craftsman as required with a spreader or flat former.
Leave enough excess proud of the surface to allow for sanding. For deep filling it may be
necessary to build the Timbafil Craftsman up in layers. Plastic shuttering may also be used
to produce a smooth straight edge but only remove when the filler has cured. Allow to cure
before finishing. It is important that the total surface of Timbafil Craftsman is fully sanded
to ensure that the stain or finish can fully penetrate. Certain timbers are highly absorbent
which may result in the Craftsman being more noticeable. It is recommended that trials are
conducted on an inconspicuous area prior to full scale production.
