FAQ
A filler for both interior and exterior use saves having two products on site. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER can be used indoors and outdoors, on concrete, cellular concrete, cement, concrete block, brick, plaster, plasterboard and old paintwork. Ready mixed, it fills up to 1 cm thick, dries hard and is easy to sand. It can then be overcoated with interior or exterior paint, undercoat, wallpaper or glass cloth.
It depends on the product. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER fills up to 1 cm thick, while PRESTONETT LIGHT WEIGHT FILLER, a lightweight filler, can be applied at any thickness. A ready-mixed filler dries only by evaporation, which limits heavy thicknesses in a single pass. Beyond the value given on the product sheet, work in two passes or switch to a powder filler.
First remove the wall plug and any crumbling edges, then dust out the hole. Next, load the filler with a filling knife, pressing it firmly into the base to expel any air, then strike off flush with the wall. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER is ready mixed, so you can fill straight from the bucket. Once fully dry, a light sanding brings the repair flush before painting.
Yes. A filled area must be sanded so that it is perfectly flush with the wall surface. Even a slight build-up remains visible under paint in raking light. Wait until it is fully dry, then sand with a fine grit, working the edges of the repair. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER is easy to sand once dry. It is then essential to dust off before applying a primer or the paint.
Yes. Wallpaper is one of the finishes for PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER, as are glass cloth, undercoat, and interior and exterior paints. The filler must be completely dry, sanded and dusted off. Its product sheet states that there is no need to spot prime the filled areas.
Start by dusting out the chase and checking that the conduits are properly secured. Then fill by loading the filler with a filling knife, pressing it well into the base to avoid air pockets, and striking off flush with the wall. With PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER, the maximum thickness being 1 cm, a deep chase is filled in several passes. A powder filler remains better suited to heavy thicknesses.
There are two causes of this defect. The first is a build-up or a hollow, because a repair that has not been properly struck off and sanded shows up in raking light. The second is a difference in absorbency between the filler and the wall, which creates a visible variation in sheen under the paint. The remedy is therefore twofold: careful sanding to bring the repair flush, and a primer applied over the whole surface before the finish.
For spot touch-ups, a small pack avoids waste and is easy to handle. PRESTONETT READY MIXED FILLER comes in a 1 kg bucket. Ready mixed, with an unlimited working time, it can be resealed between jobs and remains usable. Its average consumption is 0.5 kg per m².
