FAQ

What is a 4-in-1 filler?

A 4-in-1 filler replaces four separate products with a single filler. For PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER, this versatility covers filling, levelling, skim coating and plasterboard jointing. This filler is ready mixed and can be applied up to 8 mm thick. The benefit is fewer products to carry and a single product to master on site.

Which filler should you use to avoid buying several products?

A multipurpose filler covers most of the needs of an interior job on its own. PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER is a 4-in-1 product and can be applied to almost all interior substrates, from concrete to glass cloth, including concrete block, brick, plaster, plasterboard and old paintwork. It is ready mixed and comes in 4 kg and 12 kg buckets, depending on the size of the job.

How do you avoid lap marks when skimming a wall?

A lap mark appears when fresh filler is applied against an area that has already started to dry. So work wall by wall, in continuous strips, without letting an edge dry before you join up with it. PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER is ready mixed and its working time is unlimited, so there is no need to mix batches to suit the area being treated.

What is the maximum thickness for a ready-mixed filler?

It depends on the product. PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER can be applied up to 8 mm thick, which covers filling as well as levelling an uneven wall. By comparison, PRESTONETT Fill & Finish Filler levels up to 5 mm and PRESTONETT FINE SURFACE FILLER works at 1 mm. In the deepest areas, it is still better to work in several passes rather than in a single thick coat.

How much ready-mixed filler is needed for 20 m²?

It depends on how thickly it is applied. With PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER, average consumption is 1.3 kg per m². For 20 m², that means about 26 kg of product, so allow two 12 kg buckets and one 4 kg bucket.

Is a primer needed before applying a ready-mixed filler?

It depends on the substrate. On a very absorbent, chalky or dusty background, a primer is needed to bind the substrate and regulate its absorbency. On a gloss or non-porous background, sanding to provide a key improves adhesion. On a sound, clean, dry interior substrate, PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER can be applied directly, including on concrete, plaster, plasterboard, old paintwork or old sprinkle effect.

Can a ready-mixed filler be applied over an old sprinkle effect finish?

Yes. Old sprinkle effect is one of the substrates for PRESTONETT MULTI-LIGHT FILLER. First check that the coating is firmly bonded and remove any parts that are coming away. Then lay the filler on, loading enough material to bury the texture, and strike it off with a blade. It can be applied up to 8 mm thick, which means a heavily textured finish can be covered with fewer passes.
