What are borehole and crack fillers suitable for?

Drill Hole and Crack Filler is a ready-to-use repair filler for quickly repairing drill holes, plug holes, small cracks and similar damage on walls. It is applied directly from the tube to the damaged area and does not need to be mixed. This allows minor repairs to be carried out neatly indoors and in damp rooms, for example before painting, wallpapering or renovating.

What sort of damage can be repaired?

This drill hole and crack filler is suitable for small to medium-sized areas of damage that need to be filled and smoothed quickly. This includes drill holes, plug holes, screw holes, small cracks, fine hairline cracks and similar damage to walls and ceilings. For deeper areas, a second coat can be applied once the first has dried.

Suitable Less suitable
Drill holes, dowel holes and screw holes Large spalls or very deep areas of damage
Small cracks and hairline cracks in interior walls and ceilings Active or recurring cracks
Small areas of flaking on wall surfaces Damp, loose or unstable substrates
Repairs to be carried out before painting or wallpapering Outdoor areas without a suitable specialist product

baufan ULTRA Drill Hole and Crack Filler

For particularly deep holes, larger areas of damage or outdoor repairs, the baufan ULTRA Drill Hole and Crack Filler may be the ideal solution. This fast-curing special-purpose filler is suitable for repairing, filling and bonding; it adheres even to tiles and non-absorbent surfaces and can be applied in thicker layers.

Suitable substrates

baufan Hole and Crack Filler is suitable for use in interior and damp areas on plaster, concrete, masonry, woodchip wallpaper and painted surfaces. The substrate should be dry, sound and free from dust and grease. Highly absorbent, sandy or chalky surfaces must first be primed with baufan Tiefgrund LF.

Borehole and crack fillers: properties and limitations

Hole and crack filler is handy when you need to repair small areas of wall quickly and neatly. The filler comes straight out of the tube, can be applied with precision and, once smoothed, creates a level surface for subsequent work. At the same time, the result and coverage depend on the substrate, the thickness of the coat and the drying time.

Filling drill holes and small cracks: step by step

Check the damaged area

Check the damaged area

Step 1

Before carrying out repairs, check what type of damage is present. Old drill holes, dowel holes, screw holes and small cracks can usually be effectively filled using drill hole and crack filler. In the case of recurring or active cracks, the cause should first be identified to ensure the repair is permanent.

Step 2

The substrate must be dry, sound, and free from dust and grease. Loose particles must be removed. Highly absorbent, sandy or chalky surfaces should be primed beforehand with baufan Tiefgrund LF. Before use, knead the tube thoroughly so that the filler can be applied evenly.

Apply the repair filler

Step 3

The filler is squeezed directly from the tube into the drill hole, crack or damaged area. The damaged area should be filled completely so that no voids remain. For deeper areas, it is advisable to apply several layers. Once dry, a second coat can be applied.

Smoothing or texturing a surface

Step 4

Once applied, the surface is smoothed with a filling knife. On textured surfaces such as woodchip wallpaper, the repaired area can be slightly adjusted to match the existing surface if necessary. For damaged wood-grain wallpaper, the baufan wood-grain repair filler is ideal, as its texture matches that of the wood-grain finish.

Leave the filler to dry

Leave the filler to dry

Step 5

The repair filler must be completely dry before sanding, painting or coating. The drying time depends on the thickness of the coat, the substrate, the temperature and the humidity. Drying may take longer with thicker applications or on substrates that are not very absorbent.

 

Sanding and repainting

Step 6

Once completely dry, the surface can be lightly sanded if necessary and then painted, wallpapered or coated. Partially used tubes should be sealed tightly and stored in a cool, frost-free place out of the reach of children.
