The Woodfiller 250g Sapele is a practical wood repair product designed for filling small holes, cracks, dents and minor surface imperfections in compatible timber surfaces. Featuring a Sapele colour, it is particularly useful for repairs on Sapele and similarly toned timber where a warm, deeper wood-coloured appearance is preferred.
The convenient 250g pack is ideal for smaller furniture repairs, woodworking, door maintenance and general DIY projects. Once correctly applied and fully dried, the repaired area can be sanded and prepared for a compatible finishing product where permitted by the manufacturer.

- Timber furniture

How to Apply Woodfiller
Proper surface preparation can help achieve a smoother and more professional repair.
For general application:
- Remove loose or damaged material from the repair area.
- Clean away dust, dirt and debris.
- Ensure the timber is suitably prepared.
- Apply the woodfiller firmly into the crack, hole or damaged section.
- Smooth the filler and remove excessive material.
- Allow it to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Sand the repaired area where appropriate.
- Remove all sanding dust.
- Apply the required compatible finishing product if necessary.
For deeper holes or cracks, multiple applications may be required depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Sanding and Finishing
Once fully dried or cured, compatible woodfillers can generally be sanded to help blend the repaired section with the surrounding timber.
Before applying wood stain, varnish, paint or sealer, confirm that the woodfiller is compatible with the chosen finishing system.
Woodfiller and natural timber can absorb stains differently. As a result, the repaired area may remain slightly visible after staining or varnishing.
Colour Matching
Sapele is a general colour reference and does not guarantee an exact match with every Sapele timber surface.
The final appearance can be influenced by:
- Natural timber variation
- Wood grain
- Existing stain
- Previous varnish
- Age of the timber
- Exposure to sunlight
- Surface preparation
- Final coating or finish
Testing before completing prominent repairs is recommended.
