Filler Recomendations

Discussion in 'Painters' Talk' started by C Windsor General Builder, Feb 10, 2015.

  1. What general purpose fillers does everyone use? (premixed in tubs preferably) everything i try seems to be pants (takes forever to go off or shrinks like mad etc) cheers

    I don't use premixed, I always use 'Easyfil', you can get it from B&Q good size bag and never have any problems with it, sands down really well.

  4. Is there much difference between using this stuff and using one coat plaster?

    Don't know to be honest as I've never used one coat, but I do know that this stuff is really easy to get a good finish with.

    Easyfill is good, I tried some toupret the other day because it was on offer. Far superior, comes in separate packs in a bulk bag. It is more expensive but very good.
    Easyfill is a very close second for me.
     
  9. Which toupret one was that? Link?

    My filling requirements may be different to yours but I like Decorfill 2 part which sets rock hard in 10 mins and then 1 strike which requires very little sanding but I'm generally just filling screw/nail holes or dodgy mitring.
     
  11. Yeah ive used one strike before just dont consider it strong enough for anything other than nail holes like you say, Ive used similar products to decorfill for when i need a sturdy wood filler (trying to get a couple more years out of old wooden windows etc)

    Windsor, sorry mate toupret tx10 rapid dry.
    10 x 1kg bags. I find it easier to apply and harder when set than easyfill.
