Fill’In are small metal spiral rods designed to help Plastiform fluid products enter very small spaces. They enable capturing the finest details of a part or surface to be inspected.
When performing inspections in very confined spaces, the limited space might prevent the product from filling all available areas. Using Fill’In, you can introduce a very thin metal spiral rod that allows air to escape, enabling your product to occupy the entire space.
Fill’In accessories are used manually and do not require special devices, but they do require a certain level of dexterity.
Each Fill’In has a length of 25mm, making them suitable for taking impressions of small or very small parts.
Please note, this accessory is suitable for fluid or even pasty products but does not work with malleable products as their initial consistency is too hard for the fill’in to go through.
hese products are situational accessories. Please refer to a Plastiform expert for guidance specific to your application.
They are sold individually in boxes of four.
To use fill’ins, first poor the product you are using in the part you need to inspect. Once done, put the application gun aside and get the fill’in you need.
Fill’ins are sold in boxes of four in which each spiral has its own diameter. Pick the one you need then:
Press the fill’in into the product using slow, circular movements.
Once at the bottom, move up and down to expel the air outwards.
Pull the fill in out from the center of the impression before the product harden too much.
Please remember that using a Fill’In will never substitute for proper degreasing of the surface. Your part must be cleaned before any Plastiform application.

How to clean the injection material after taking the impression ?
You don't need to clean the material. The nozzle is going to trash and the tip is reusable after extracting the polymerized material inside it.
How to correctly extract a Plastiform impression?
Plastiforms are highly precise, ensuring that once cured, they maintain perfect contact with the walls of the part, almost as if they are glued. To extract an impression: have a firm grip to pull energetically along the axis of the impression—twisting or unscrewing should be avoided. For this, it is essential to use demolding rings.
What’s a good application for Fill’Ins ?
Fill'in s are a good match when you need to create a total impression of an internal shape with a diameter of less than 5mm. As a general rule, if you are using a Needle Injector, you might have a Fill'In application.
Can I use a Fill’In with a pasty product?
It is possible but not recommended. Most of the time, pasty products are not suitable when the use of Fill'In is required. If you encounter such a situation, please contact a Plastiform expert for advice.
Are Fill’ins included in the Plastiform Case?
No, Fill'Ins are not included in the case because they are situational tools and should be used selectively.
