For wood repairs
The Rebouche Bois wood filler is new to the Sintobois range. The vanilla-scented powder is mixed with water to produce a paste that is ready for use and has a low environmental impact. It can be used to fill holes and cracks of any size in parquet flooring and wood panelling. The product dries quickly and its colour blends into the wood. Rebouche Bois comes in four different wood shades. It is sold in a variety of drum sizes and is also available in tube or packet form.

The mats are manufactured without the inclusion of any PVC or vinyl, thus meeting demands for environmental compatibility.
