Lecol - 7500 Fast Drying Wood Floor Gap Filler

1. What is Lecol 7500 Resin Filler used for?

Lecol 7500 is a solvent-based resin filler designed for filling gaps, cracks, and holes in wooden floors. It is mixed with fine sanding dust from the floor to create a filler that matches the colour of the wood, providing a seamless finish.

2. How do I use Lecol 7500 Resin Filler?

To use Lecol 7500, mix the resin filler with fine sanding dust collected from the wood being sanded. Apply the mixture to the gaps and cracks using a trowel, filling knife or spatula. Allow it to dry before sanding the surface smooth. It can then be finished with oil, lacquer, or varnish.

3. How long does Lecol 7500 take to dry?

Lecol 7500 typically takes 30-60 minutes to dry, depending on the size of the gaps and the temperature of the room. Once dry, it can be sanded smooth and prepared for finishing.

4. What types of wood floors can Lecol 7500 be used on?

Lecol 7500 can be used on all types of wooden floors, including softwoods like pine and hardwoods such as oak and ash. It is ideal for use on sanded wooden floors where the sanding dust can be mixed with the resin for an exact colour match.

5. Can Lecol 7500 Resin Filler be stained or finished?

Yes, once Lecol 7500 has been sanded and dried, it can be stained, varnished, or oiled to match the finish of the surrounding floor. Because it is mixed with the wood’s sanding dust, the filler takes on the colour of the wood for a seamless look.

6. Is Lecol 7500 environmentally friendly?

Lecol 7500 is a solvent-based product and contains VOCs (volatile organic compounds), so it is recommended to use it in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety precautions. While effective, it is not as environmentally friendly as water-based alternatives.

7. Can Lecol 7500 be used to fill large gaps?

Lecol 7500 is best suited for filling small to medium-sized gaps and cracks. For very large gaps, other methods such as using wood slivers or other gap fillers may be more appropriate.

8. How do I clean tools after using Lecol 7500 Resin Filler?

Tools used with Lecol 7500 should be cleaned with a solvent such as white spirit or acetone while the filler is still wet. Once it dries, the filler will harden and become difficult to remove from tools.

9. How should Lecol 7500 Resin Filler be stored?

Store Lecol 7500 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the resin from drying out.

10. Is Lecol 7500 Resin Filler easy to sand?

Yes, Lecol 7500 is easy to sand once it has dried, allowing for a smooth, even surface. Sanding ensures that the filled gaps blend seamlessly with the rest of the floor before applying the final finish.
