Manns Trade Mix and Fill

This product was great to mix the sawdust with. It is very smelly and needs a good mask and ventilation. However, it was superior to wood filler and pva. I wish I had bought a bit more. I will buy it again when I do the next floor.

Apart from strong odour really good product, fills and blends well, sands nice

It’s better to apply carefully without spreading around hole too much as it’s quite difficult to sand

one bit of advice to take is use a proper respirator for this product as the vapour is strong. But this is for safety. The product worked fantastic and dries very quick.

Liked this product and will use again

Great stuff, easy to use and good drying time.

I recently layed a reclaimed oak parquet flooring and was unsure what filler to use. Thought i would give this a try and it turned out to be just what i needed. Mixed it with the saw dust from sanding the floor. It does start to go off fairly quickly so you just add more to soften the mix. You must also ensure you thouroughly sand any overlap where you have filled as applying a wax finish over it leaves a patchy look

fast drying a little snelly but does the job well

Works well, but the solvent smell is strong and remains for hours after application despite ventilation.

The product performs very well at filling between floor boards during the sanding process. However, this is a highly volatile organic compound and depending on coverage and ventilation may cause a good deal of nausea. When used over large floors, the resulting fumes can be very uncomfortable, even with good ventilation. In such cases, work over smaller sections of a floor and take a break to let the fumes dissipate before continuing. During sanding of 4 large rooms, two tins of this product were required. The filling process was the most uncomfortable of the project especially in the attic. I would recommend in such cases purchasing an effective VOC mask. While a wood glue mixture would not produce the same end result, it is infinitely easier to tolerate than a resin filler.

easy to use and worked a treat

Simple and easy to use, great prise

Had to fill up a couple of drying splits in a piece of elm. bought this after reading other reviews a first class product. Did an absolute superb job. Very easy to use. I took the advice of placing the excess mix onto a scrap piece of wood this give you an indication of when the mix in the fill has gone off. Would always have a tin of this in my filler cupboard now.

Good sealer and mixed well with sanding dust. Gave desired effect

excellent, did the job, the wooden floor looks great. mix matches the floor color.

Great product for gap filling with your sawdust, as a diy'er who's never used this before it took a little while for me to get the best consistency but once I did it was great.

was great as colour match was easy to determine. Make sure you use the finest oak dust you can. Luckily I had to use a belt sander on some of the oak I was working on which gave plenty of dust that I needed. Had no problem with smell intensity which I noticed had been a comment made on other reviews..

Very impressed with this product when mixed with the saw dust leaves a great colour match

I used the product mixed with sifted sawdust to fill in gaps between floor boards that could not be filled with wood slivers due to the cracks being irregular in width and pattern. It does have a yellowish tint to it which means you have to sand it down or your floor boards will be left yellow but it dries rock hard and very quickly which makes it ideal for quick repairs! Also it does not crack and fall out like other products I have used.

We had a really badly damaged oak floor that had warped and gapped, we sanded the floor with a machine collected the dust and mixed as it said on the tin. we applied it to the floor like a screed left it half an hour to set sanded the floor again and it looks like new, its very smelly so needs to be used on a well ventilated area but it is fantastic stuff.

Does what it says on the tin

Excellent product, does exactly what is needed of it, in terms of providing the substrate for a natural wood filler when combined with sanding dust. Dries well and accepts wax oil. Have already heartily recommended it to friends.

It was good but even 5mm gaps that it says it should fill cracked shortly after applying.

I have not used much so far but for example I had some ugly cross cuts made by workmen in the past in a wood floor I was sanding. Mixed the Mann's with sawdust from the same wood and the cuts virtually disappeared. Far better than using eg wood glue or PVA.

This is really great stuff that really fills well but I find it difficult to work with as it is solvent based and has very strong fumes that made me feel sick. Needs lots of good ventilation.

As above. Mix with the sanding dust just brilliant.

Really good stuff filled my parquet floor really well. Order more than you need as it goes off really quickly and you need to keep rehydrating the mixture to keep it workable. Dries quick, minimal sinkage, wider gaps may need 2nd application.

a good product supplied by a very help company

Mix and fill gave really good results once we found the right consistency. Too runny and the solvent all evaporated leaving gaps, too thick and it dried quicker than we could use it.

Goes off quickly. Dries much lighter than first looks. Dried hard.
