Everbuild Fill and Skim Ready Mixed Plaster, White, 5 Litre

Product Information

Finishes smooth and requires little or no sanding but don't worry if your a bit rough as can be sanded easily. I also admit that I am not familiar with Easy fill (I don't do wet trades- I am a decorator not a plasterer) nor do I use gypsum or cellulose based fillers. When filling a large surface area, it may not always be possible to achieve a completely level finish. However, EVERBUILD FILL &SKIMis very easy to sand if necessary. The advantage of taping and filling is that you can DIY it, assuming that you cannot also DIY a full skim. Fill & Skim is revolutionary new ready mixed white plaster substitute that's been specially formulated using lightweight polymer spheres to produce an easy to spread and smooth product.

Apply the filler over the joint with a caulker or similar tool. Allow to set for 45 minutes then sand if you’d like to, and dust the surface down. As you have only applied one coat, the sanding should be minimal! This would be perfectly good for a garage. For a house, and where there are low-angle lights or viewing levels, then it'll probably need a bit more work to make perfect; a little more filler and sanding etc. Because Joint, Skim & Fill is a one-coat filler, we like to use a self-adhesive scrim or tape directly on the joint. That way, you can apply your joint filler over the top rather than bedding the tape into a first coat and applying a second coat later. I constantly strive toward acme but know that i will never obtain it. The first step is to accept one's flaws and try to improve upon them. Failure to do so is denial. And yes the other week I filled inch deep holes in a recessed window with epoxy resin. I didn't have the time to wait for bonding to go off. I needed to be able to line over it the same day.

I have never come across a polymath and suppose that i never will. I have worked for extremely talented builders who could turn their hands to many trades. The important thing is that they realised that they had limitations. by the same token I have had the misfortune of working for an arrogant builder who genuinely believed that he was the best in every field. It is touching that you feel the need to jump to richard's defence. I grant Richard with having the inteligence to know that he he slags someone off that they will retort. I had made no comment about your abilities thus far but to date you are the only person that I have ever heard that claims to be able to achieve a spray quality finish with a brush. Toupret Joint, Skim & Fill powder filler does not slump as it dries, meaning even large repairs can often be made using only one coat. As with the previous product, there is no flashing after you’ve painted over the repair.

Stir EVERBUILD FILL &SKIM to a smooth paste. If product is too dry, add a few drops of water and restir. Frankly I don't see anything wrong with that. I am not advocating skimming walls with epoxy but filling very deep holes Fill and Skim is also the ideal choice for electricians, plumber, joiners and general builders as a one coat patching plaster for small repair jobs.

For the best surface finish before painting, you can skim the whole surface using a caulking knife or trowel. Don’t worry if you get slight ‘tramlines’. These will sand out easily after the filler has set. Most of my customers want lining paper on their walls, even the newly plastered walls. They prefer the feel and texture. OK, the powder version. The rep I spoke to regarding this product told me it was “Toupret’s answer to Gyproc Easi-fill”. I can tell you now that he’s wrong! The two products are noticeably different to each other.
