Work Safely: This Product Is Classified WARNING Selleys No More Cracks Small Cracks & Dents is hazardous according to the criteria of Safe Work Australia GHS 7. The signal word is Warning. It is classified as NON-Dangerous Goods. Hazard statement: CodeStatementClassificationWhat This MeansH317May cause an allergic skin reactionSkin Sensitisation Cat 1Contact with skin may result in irritation. A skin sensitiser. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis. Effects may be delayed — you may not notice a reaction immediately. The product may also be an irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. It may be an eye irritant. Dust exposure may cause discomfort due to particulate nature. Key precautionary statements:

P102: Keep out of reach of children P103: Read carefully and follow all instructions P261: Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapours, or spray P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing including eye/face protection and suitable respirator

Protect Yourself with the Required PPE The required personal protection equipment is: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES. In addition, P280 for this product specifically requires a suitable respirator. This is important — dust from sanding and particulate matter during application can irritate mucous membranes and the respiratory tract. Gloves: Nitrile rubber gloves should be suitable for intermittent contact. Due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, make a final assessment based on your situation. This is particularly important given the H317 skin sensitisation hazard — bare-skin contact should be avoided. Repeated or prolonged contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis, and effects may be delayed. Safety glasses: The product may be an eye irritant and dust may cause discomfort due to particulate nature. Eye protection is essential during application and sanding. Suitable respirator: Required by P280. Protects against dust, fume, gas, mist, vapours, or spray per P261. Overalls and safety shoes: Full body coverage minimises skin contact with the skin sensitiser. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before storing or re-using. Engineering: Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions. Hygiene: Keep away from food, drink, and animal feeding stuffs. When using, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking, or using the toilet. Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of dust. Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Prepare the Surface Ensure the surface to be filled is clean and dry with no loose or powdery material. This is the foundation for the product's excellent adhesion. Remove any dust, flaking material, or debris from the area to be repaired. The product is designed for plaster and plasterboard on interior surfaces only.

Apply the Filler Use a filling blade to spread a thin layer over the area and scrape off excess to minimise sanding. The product is ready to use straight from the tub — no mixing required. Press the filler firmly into the crack or imperfection using a filling blade or scraper. Scraping off excess flush with the surrounding surface reduces the amount of sanding needed once dry. To minimise sanding and obtain a perfect finish, tool/spread to a 'feather' edge when applying filler. This technique blends the filler smoothly into the surrounding surface, reducing visible edges after drying.

Drying and Sanding Times The product dries at measured rates at 25°C: DepthDrying Time1mm1–2 hours2mm2–3 hours Allow to dry for 2–3 hours, then sand back with fine sandpaper. For applications more than 2mm deep, or in cold or humid conditions, expect longer drying times. The product can be used at depths greater than 2mm — allow additional drying time proportional to depth. The drying specifications above are measured at 25°C; lower temperatures slow evaporation and extend drying. When painting with oil-based paints, allow longer drying times regardless of application depth. This is a specific manufacturer requirement separate from the humidity and temperature guidance.

Painting Over the Repair For best results, apply an undercoat before your top coat of paint. This creates a uniform base and ensures the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dust free before painting. After sanding, remove all dust from the repair area before applying paint. Oil-based paints: Allow longer drying times before painting with oil-based paints.

Clean Up Uncured product: Clean up with water before filler dries. Clean tools with water promptly. Cured product: Once dried, the filler can be removed by sanding and scraping. Water will not dissolve cured product. Storage: Ensure container is closed tightly and store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs, incompatible materials (oxidising agents), and sources of heat and/or ignition. Keep container standing upright. Disposal: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations. If possible, material and container should be recycled. Avoid contaminating waterways.

Know the Limitations

Do not use below 5°C — cold conditions prevent proper drying Where movement occurs, use Selleys No More Gaps — this filler is for static repairs; joints or cracks subject to ongoing movement require a flexible sealant Interior use only — for use on plaster and plasterboard

Tips for Best Results These tips come directly from the manufacturer's guidance: For applications more than 2mm deep, or in cold or humid conditions, expect longer drying times. The drying specifications (1–2 hours at 1mm, 2–3 hours at 2mm) are measured at 25°C. Deeper applications, lower temperatures, and higher humidity all extend drying. Allow longer drying times if painting with oil-based paints. This requirement applies regardless of other conditions. For best results, apply an undercoat before your top coat of paint. The repair area may have different absorption characteristics. An undercoat ensures a uniform paint finish. Tool/spread to a 'feather' edge when applying filler. This minimises sanding and produces a perfect finish by blending the filler into the surrounding surface. Scrape off excess to minimise sanding. Firm application with the filling blade pressed flat against the surface removes excess filler before it dries. Clean up with water before filler dries. Once cured, removal requires sanding and scraping. Ensure surface is clean and dust free before painting. After sanding, remove all sanding dust before applying paint for best adhesion.

Troubleshoot Common Problems Problem: Filler not dry after 2–3 hours Drying times are measured at 25°C. Applications deeper than 2mm, cold conditions, or high humidity all extend drying time. Allow longer and check again. Problem: Filler tears or clogs sandpaper The filler is not yet dry enough to sand. Allow more drying time and try again. This product is easy to sand when properly dried. Problem: Filler won't adhere Ensure the surface is clean and dry with no loose or powdery material. This product is designed for plaster and plasterboard only. Interior surfaces only. Problem: Repair cracks in a moving joint This filler is not designed for areas subject to movement. Where movement occurs, use Selleys No More Gaps instead. Problem: Paint finish looks different over repair Apply an undercoat before the top coat of paint for best results. Ensure surface is clean and dust free before painting. Problem: Painting with oil-based paint Allow longer drying times before applying oil-based paints. This is a specific requirement regardless of other drying conditions. Problem: Tools hardened with dried filler Clean up with water before filler dries. Cured filler on tools requires sanding or scraping to remove.
