Product Information

Full details

Bartoline All Purpose Powder Filler (1876) is a professional-grade repair solution designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-strength filler for interior and exterior surfaces. This non-shrink, non-slump formula excels at patching plaster, wood, brick, and masonry, offering the unique ability to hold screws and wallplugs once fully cured. While it provides a versatile, paint-ready finish, users must note that outdoor applications require prompt sealing with oil-based paint or varnish to prevent moisture damage.

FAQs

Can this be used for exterior repairs?

Yes, but it must be protected from rain while setting and sealed with an oil-based paint or varnish once fully dry.

How deep can I fill in one go?

The product is suitable for application depths up to 10mm.

Do I need to prime the surface before applying the filler?

No, you do not need to prime the surface, though you should remove all loose dust and debris first.

Can I screw into the filler once it has set?

Yes, the product is specifically designed to be strong enough to hold wallplugs, nails, and screws.

How long should I wait before sanding?

Wait until the filler is completely set and dry to the touch before sanding to ensure a smooth, professional finish.

Troubleshooting

Filler is setting too quickly

Ensure the mixing vessel is completely clean and use cold water. Do not over-mix or leave the paste sitting for more than 40 minutes.

Filler is pulling out of the crack

Ensure the cavity is free of loose dust. For hairline cracks, slightly enlarge the crack before filling to improve mechanical key.

Patch is showing through paint

Ensure the filler is completely dry and sanded flush before painting. The product is non-flashing, but damp filler can interfere with paint absorption.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural integrity allows for drilling and screw fixings.
  • Excellent adhesion properties prevent slumping in vertical cavities.
  • Does not shrink upon drying.
  • Compatible with a wide range of substrates including exterior brickwork.
  • Cost-effective powder form allows for mixing only what is needed.

Cons

  • Short 40-minute working time requires careful planning.
  • Exterior use strictly mandates sealing with oil-based products.
  • Requires manual mixing, which can be messy if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the filler, combine approximately 2.5 parts powder to 1 part clean, cold water in a clean vessel. Mix until you reach a smooth, stiff consistency. Use the product within 40 minutes of mixing; using a dirty container can significantly alter the setting time. For highly absorbent surfaces, lightly dampen the substrate with water before application.

When working outdoors, ensure the weather is dry, as rain will ruin the setting process. Once the filler has completely dried, protect the area from weathering by applying a coat of oil-based paint or varnish. Always clean tools and mixing vessels with warm water immediately after use, before the material hardens. Store the unused powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its shelf life.
