Product Information

Full details

The Siroflex Instant Plaster Filler is designed for DIYers and homeowners needing to quickly repair cracks and gaps in walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is an ultra-lightweight, ready-mixed formula that's non-shrinking, allowing for instant application and overpainting within minutes.

FAQs

Is this filler suitable for exterior use?

The Siroflex Instant Plaster Filler is primarily designed for interior use. It is not formulated for exterior conditions which may affect its durability and finish.

How long does it take to dry completely?

It can be overpainted in 10-20 minutes. Full curing time depends on application thickness, humidity, and temperature, but it's generally quick enough for most touch-up jobs within an hour.

Can I use this for large holes or deep cracks?

For best results and to prevent shrinkage, it's recommended to apply the filler in thin layers for larger or deeper repairs, allowing each layer to set before applying the next.

What surfaces can I use this filler on?

It is suitable for use on most common interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted areas.

Do I need to prime before painting?

While you can paint directly onto the filler after it's dry, priming is recommended for a more uniform finish, especially if the repaired area is large or if you are using a darker paint color.

How should I store the leftover filler?

Once opened, ensure the nozzle is sealed tightly (you can use tape or a suitable plug) and store the tube in a cool, dry place. It's best to use it within the recommended shelf life for optimal performance.

Can this filler be used around windows and doors?

Yes, it's ideal for filling small gaps and cracks around window frames, door frames, and skirting boards.

Troubleshooting

Filler not dispensing

Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly and the tube is properly seated in the caulking gun. Check if the filler has dried inside the nozzle and clear it if necessary.

Shrinking or cracking after application

While designed to be non-shrinking, excessively deep or wide gaps may require multiple thin applications rather than one thick layer. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust before application.

Difficulty in sanding

Allow the filler to cure fully before attempting to sand. If it's still too soft, it may not have dried completely. For very hard sanding, ensure you are using appropriate sandpaper grit.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the filler is completely dry and cured before painting. A light sanding to create a key can improve paint adhesion. For best results, use a primer if painting over a large repaired area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This filler is ready to use straight from the tube. Insert the tube into a standard caulking gun. Cut the nozzle tip to the desired opening size for application. Apply the filler directly into the crack or gap.

Compatibility: The Siroflex Instant Plaster Filler can be overpainted with both water-based and synthetic paints once dry. It adheres well to most common interior surfaces.

Care: Store the filler in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal the nozzle tightly. For best results, use within the recommended shelf life.

Clean-up: Clean tools, excess filler, and spills immediately after use with soap and water. Dried filler may be more difficult to remove.
