FAQ

How do you fill a deep hole in a single pass?

You need a lightweight filler, formulated to hold at heavy thickness without slumping. PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER fills deep areas in a single pass and can be applied at any thickness, without shrinking back as it dries. It is ready mixed and can be used indoors and outdoors, on concrete, cellular concrete, cement, concrete block, brick, plaster, plasterboard and old paintwork. Its consumption is 1 litre per m² per millimetre of thickness.

Which filler does not shrink back as it dries?

A filler that shrinks back means going over each repair a second time. Lightweight fillers avoid this defect. PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER does not shrink back as it dries, so you can fill in a single pass, even at heavy thickness. This saves real time on a job with many areas to fill, since there is no second pass to plan before the finish.

What is the difference between PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER and PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER?

Both are ready-mixed fillers for interior and exterior use, but they behave differently. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER can be applied up to 1 cm thick, dries hard and is easy to sand. PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER, a lightweight filler, can be applied at any thickness, fills in a single pass, does not shrink back and is very easy to sand. The first suits everyday repairs, the second heavy thicknesses.

How much lightweight filler is needed to fill 1 m² at 5 mm?

With PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER, average consumption is 1 litre per m² per millimetre of thickness. For 1 m² treated at 5 mm, allow about 5 litres of product. The 750 ml and 250 ml buckets let you match the quantity to the size of the job. For spot filling, think in terms of the volume of the hole to be filled.

Does a lightweight filler hold up outdoors?

Yes. PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER can be used indoors and outdoors. Apply it to a sound, clean, dry substrate and protect the repair from rain while it dries. Like any exterior filling, it is meant to be overcoated. Its product sheet lists conventional paint and primer as overcoats.

Is a primer needed before painting a lightweight filler repair?

A primer is recommended, as it evens out absorbency between the repair and the substrate and avoids differences in sheen under the finish. PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER is very easy to sand, and the repair must be correctly struck off during application and completely dry before any painting. Primer is also one of the overcoats listed on its product sheet.
