What kind of repairs is Knot Filler suitable for?
Knot Filler is suitable for all types of softwoods, hardwoods, plywoods and more!
It is perfect for all kinds of repairs such as knots, cracks, edge repairs, corner repairs, cover-up of screws etc. Knot Filler is also perfect for formwork repairs, and it has become a popular repair material in the formwork industry.

Why should I use Knot Filler instead of epoxy?
There are several reasons why Knot Filler is preferable to epoxy:
1) Knot Filler is non-toxic and therefore does not harm neither the environment nor the user
2) Knot Filler is a faster way to repair wood
3) Knot Filler is flexible and works with the wood, thus stays in the wood and does not crack
4) Knot Filler is ready to use - no mixing
5) Knot Filler dries in seconds
6) Knot Filler is UV proof
7) Knot Filler accepts all kinds of surface treatments after sanding
8) Knot Filler is suitable for all kinds of repairs, no real limits to the possibilities of repairs with Knot Filler.

Can I use Knot Filler outside?
Yes. Knot Filler can be used for both internal and external repairs. Knot Filler has been tried & tested in a variety of climates all over the world!

Does Knot Filler accept stain, oil, etc?
Yes. Just be sure to sand the repair first, as this "opens" the repair, so it accepts any kinds of surface treatment.

How do I change colour?
There are a few options to choose from in terms of changing Knot Filler colours. We recommend the following:
1) Use different heating guns for different colours,
2) Use our Knot Filler Saver to make new smaller Knot Filler sticks of the excess Knot Filler before you get the new colour.
Note: we highly recommend that you always try to plan your repairs so you make more repairs with the same colour, and thereby minimize colour change.

Do you have any certifications for Knot Filler?
Yes, Knot Filler complies with the IKEA test specification IOS-MAT-0054, and has been tested for Bisphenol A, Cadmium, Lead, Organotin, and Phthalates CPSC. Hence, Knot Filler is an environmentally friendly product that does not harm the user nor the environment.

Why do I get bubbles in my repair?
There are two possible causes:
1) The working temperature of the heating gun is too high, which causes the Knot Filler to boil and creates bubbles. It is important to follow the recommended temperature which is noted on the labels of the Knot Filler bags, and adjust the temperature if bubbles occur
2) If the Knot Filler sticks have been exposed to air over time, it creates moisture in the Knot Filler sticks, which causes bubbles when you apply the Knot Filler. In order to prevent this, it is extremely important to close the Knot Filler bags tightly after use, as noted on the labels on the bags.

Does Knot Filler sink?
No. Knot Filler does not sink when it is applied correctly. Hence, when you shoot the Knot Filler into the repair, let it cool down for a while, before you cut off the excess part, you will see a perfect repair. One of the big advantages with Knot Filler is that it does not sink over time. Temperature differences can though affect Knot Filler as it affects all other things. Therefore, Knot Filler might expand a bit in warm temperatures, whereas it might shrink a bit in cold temperatures when it is first applied. From our experience, the reaction does mostly occur in large-size repairs and does not occur in standard repairs. Another advantage of Knot Filler is that you can see the result of your repair instantly. It will not change character or sink later on the surface where it’s applied.

Can I sand the repair and what is the best technique?
When you have filled and cut the repair it is ready to be sanded. Sanding the repair is important as it ensures that the repair accepts the surface treatment you wish to use. It does not matter whether it is oil, stain, lacquer, paint - you can use any surface treatment you want, as long as you sand the repair first. The best technique is to sand the wood 90% prior to starting to repair the wood. When you have filled the repair with Knot Filler and cut off excess you finish the last 10% of the sanding process. Make sure to use a good flow when you sand the wood and the repair, in order to let the repair "breathe" while being sanded.

What is the best way to repair a long and deep crack / damage?
1) Sand the wood 90-95% finish before you start to repair with Knot Filler
2) Fill the repair 2/3 with Knot Filler leaving the last 1/3 top without filler until it has dried
3) when the Knot Filler is dry, you fill the last 1/3 of the damage, cools it down with a cooling iron, cut off excess knot filler and sand the repair.

Can Knot Filler be applied by machine?
Yes. Knot Filler in granulate form is perfect for semi- and fully automatic machinery. We have had positive experience with both semi- and full automatic machinery from Wintersteiger, and both types of machinery work perfectly with our Knot Filler and produce beautiful repair results.

Can Knot Filler be used with industrial sanding machines?
Yes. Knot Filler is perfectly suitable for repairs that are sanded with both hand operated sanders & industrial machinery. The best and most professional results with Knot Filler are achieved with industrial sanding machines such as wide-belt sanders, however hand operated sanding machines are also perfect for Knot Filler repairs.

Carrier Information

• We use a variety of freight carriers including, but not limited to: Australia Post, Direct Freight, TNT, Couriers Please, Mainfreight & Team Global Express (formerly Toll).
• The freight carrier will be chosen by Hammer Roo based on parcel size, weight & receiving location. If you do not wish to have a certain carrier, please add this to the order notes and we will accommodate if possible.
• While we endeavor to provide the postage option chosen at cart, sometimes this is not possible due to factors including; weight restrictions, physical size restrictions & location. We will endeavor to provide a similar service where possible eg. Australia Post Express may be replaced with TNT Express for larger items.
• Please note the maximum package length that can be sent through Australia Post is 105cm and the maximum weight is 22kg. Anything over these dimensions will be sent via courier. If the parcel is outside these dimensions the parcel cannot be delivered to PO Boxes or Parcel Lockers.
• All items over 30kg needing a tailgate will be flagged on the product page & we will contact you to arrange a quote. For more information on the Tailgate Drop Fee please read below.

Insurance - Covering Loss/Damage In Transit

• All freight companies used by Hammer Roo are general carriers and therefore do not cover damage or loss of goods in transit. Hammer Roo offers a simple insurance option, that is calculated at 2% of the value of goods (starting at $0.75), your order will be insured against damage and/or loss in transit.
• We offer insurance on our website as an Opt-Out option for orders up to $5000 in value. In other words, it is automatically included. The only way it cannot be included is if you specifically untick the Insurance checkbox. This is your tacit agreement that you choose not to insure the goods and are taking risk with any issues that arise during the shipment of your order once it leaves Hammer Roo.
• If you do not accept the insurance charge, you will do so at your own risk and any damage and/or loss is your responsibility. In all cases, we HIGHLY recommend the optional protection of insurance.

Optional Insurance Will Cover:

• Damage from point of dispatch to point of delivery
• Lost In Transit from point of dispatch to point of delivery

Optional Insurance Will Not Cover:

• Items stolen from delivery address after carrier has successfully delivered the package.
• Items labeled as Authority To Leave

Authority To Leave

• If you want to have your order left at your address even if you are not home you can request Authority To Leave in the order notes during check out. If you request this option;

• You are accepting responsibility for delivery of the item once it leaves the warehouse.
• We assume a delivery has been made if the courier reports that the item has been delivered.
• Non-delivery/Theft claims by customers will not be accepted if the carrier confirms delivery has been made even if optional insurance is purchased.

Tailgate Drop Fees

• Any single product carton that weighs over 30kg must be shipped on a skid or pallet.
• If a product is over 30kg you can:
• Pick it up from the closest courier depot. Please advise us that you would like to choose this option, and when it arrives at the courier's depot they will be in touch to advise you it is ready for pick up. They will also set out any terms and conditions for the pick-up. It will be loaded via forklift so having an appropriate vehicle or trailer to allow this to happen is your requirement.
• Pay a tailgate drop fee. This will mean that the truck arriving to deliver the goods will have a hydraulic tailgate that will safely set the skid on the ground with a manual pallet truck to move the skid to a reasonable position on the property so that it is deemed to be safely delivered. Tailgate drop fees vary based on carrier (usually $65-$90), please contact us for an accurate quote.

• If your consignment fits the above criteria we will contact you prior to dispatch to confirm your preferred method and collect the tailgate drop fee if you choose that option for your delivery.

Manual Handling Surcharge (Overlength/Oversized Items)

• Any item once packaged that measures over 1.2m, weighs over 30kg or cannot pass through automatic freight sortation machines and must be handled manually by freight companies.
• For items 1.2 - 1.8m long there is a surcharge of $16.50 and for items 1.8m and longer there is a surcharge of $83.50 charged by the freight company to manually handle this freight.
• Hammer Roo passes this charge on at cost. If you choose the In Store Pickup option there is no extra charge on your order for handling these items.
