Filling

When filling a surface, the aim is to achieve a smooth and even texture by smoothing out unevenness and holes. First of all, it is important to thoroughly clean the surface to be treated and remove any dirt, dust and old materials. The filler is then mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The mixture should have a uniform consistency that is easy to apply. The filler is then spread evenly over the surface, ensuring that no air bubbles are trapped.

Using smooth, even movements, the filler is drawn over the surface to even out any unevenness and fill any holes. It is important to hold the trowel at a constant angle to ensure an even layer thickness. After applying the first layer, the filler is allowed to dry thoroughly. Depending on the product, this may take several hours. Once the first coat is dry, a second coat can be applied to achieve a smoother surface.

Between coats, the surface can be lightly sanded to remove any unevenness and achieve a smoother texture. Once the filling process is complete, the surface can be further finished as required, for example by painting or varnishing. It is important to be patient and careful in order to achieve a high-quality result. A properly filled surface creates a solid foundation for further surface treatments and ensures an aesthetically pleasing end result.
