Product Information

Full details

The Polycell Ready Mixed Filler is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators needing a simple, effective solution for interior wall and ceiling repairs. Its key benefit is its pre-mixed, smooth consistency, which allows for easy application straight from the tub. A minor caveat is that it's primarily for interior use on plaster, masonry, concrete, and brickwork. This versatile filler effectively tackles cracks and holes, dries quickly, and can be sanded and painted for a seamless finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this filler be used outdoors?

Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use on plaster, masonry, concrete, and brickwork, provided the surface is properly prepared and protected from extreme weather once dry.

What is the maximum depth I can fill in one go?

For deeper repairs above 10mm, it is recommended to build up the filler in layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.

How long does it take to dry?

The filler is typically surface dry in 1 to 2 hours, depending on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.

Can I paint over the filler?

Yes, once the filler is completely dry, it can be sanded smooth and then painted or wallpapered to match the surrounding surface.

How should I store the filler?

Store in a cool, dry place. Replace the membrane and lid securely after use to prevent the product from drying out. Do not store in extreme temperatures or expose to frost.

What surfaces is this filler suitable for?

It is suitable for plaster, masonry, concrete, and brickwork. It is not recommended for wood, metal, or flexible surfaces.

Do I need to mix the filler before use?

Yes, you should stir the filler to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency before application.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too stiff or dry

Stir thoroughly. If still too stiff, a very small amount of water can be added and mixed in carefully, but avoid making it too wet.

Filler shrinks or cracks after drying

Ensure the repair area was properly prepared and free of dust. For deeper holes, apply in thin layers, allowing each to dry completely before adding the next. Do not overfill in a single application.

Filler remains soft after extended drying time

This may be due to very high humidity or a very deep fill. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time. If applied too thickly, it might take longer to cure.

Filler peels off the surface

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free of loose paint, dust, or grease. For porous surfaces, a primer might be beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface and any holes or cracks are dry and free from loose material. For metal fixings like nails or screws, touch them in with a suitable metal primer before applying the filler.

Application: Stir the filler to achieve a creamy consistency. Press the filler firmly into the repair area with a filling knife, ensuring it is level with the surrounding surface. For repairs deeper than 10mm, apply the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.

Compatibility: This filler is suitable for use on plaster, masonry, concrete, and brickwork for both interior and exterior applications. It is not designed for flexible surfaces or materials like wood or metal without proper preparation.

Tool Cleaning: Clean tools immediately after use with warm water. To store any remaining filler, ensure the excess product is removed from tools, then replace the membrane and lid securely to prevent the product from drying out.
