FAQs

Can I use this filler for exterior repairs?

No, the Artex Gyproc Easi-Filler is specifically formulated for internal use only. It is not weather-resistant.

How long does it take to dry?

The drying time varies depending on the depth of the fill and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). It is quick-setting, but for best sanding results, allow adequate drying time until fully hardened.

Do I need to mix this product?

No, the Artex Gyproc Easi-Filler comes ready-to-use. Simply open the tub and apply.

Can I paint over the filler once it's dry?

Yes, once the filler is fully dry and sanded smooth, it provides an excellent surface for painting or wallpapering.

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

While the filler has minimal shrinkage, for best results and to ensure proper drying, it is recommended to apply deeper fills in multiple thinner layers rather than one thick coat.

How should I store the remaining filler?

Store the remaining filler in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

What surfaces can this filler be used on?

It is suitable for use on internal plaster, plasterboard, masonry, and even on painted surfaces with minimal preparation.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too hard or dry to apply.

Ensure the container was sealed properly after the last use. If partially dried, you may be able to re-moisten and mix a small amount, but for best results, use fresh filler.

Filler shrinks excessively after application.

While minimal shrinkage is a feature, if you notice excessive shrinkage, it may be due to applying too thick a layer at once. For deeper fills, apply in multiple thinner layers, allowing each to set slightly.

Filler is difficult to sand.

Ensure the filler is fully dried before attempting to sand. If it feels gummy or tears, it may not be completely cured. Allow more drying time. Use fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.

Filler does not adhere well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. For optimal adhesion on certain surfaces, a light sanding or primer might be beneficial, though the product is designed to minimize this need.
