Overview:

Toupret Plasterboard Joint Filler is a powder-based jointing compound for interior plasterboard work. It offers a 1-hour working time for jointing, patching, and small filling tasks. The product conforms to BS EN 13963 for jointing applications. It also carries an A+ indoor air quality (IAQ) rating, indicating very low VOC emissions.

Mix the powder with water and apply directly to gypsum plaster, plasterboard/drywall, or old painted surfaces - no primer or sealer is required beforehand. It dries without shrinkage and accepts a second coat after 90 minutes. The finished surface sands back smoothly once fully set.

The dried surface is ready to paint or wallpaper within 24 hours under normal conditions. Any filler, paint, or wall covering can be applied over the top. The product is guaranteed for 12 months from purchase, provided it is stored correctly in its original sealed packaging.

How to Use

• Surface preparation: Check the substrate is hard, clean, sound, and dry. Do not apply on exterior surfaces, over bonded coatings, or over polystyrene. Avoid damp substrates, frozen surfaces, overheated surfaces, and direct sunlight during application.

• Mixing: For jointing, add 420ml of water per 1kg of powder (42%). For filling, use 380ml per 1kg (38%). Add the powder to water at room temperature and stir until smooth.

• Application: Apply with a taping knife or putty knife. One coat is sufficient for most applications. For more demanding jobs, apply further coats as needed.

• Second coat: If a further coat is required, wait at least 90 minutes before reapplying.

• Sanding: Sand back once the product has fully set. Wear a P2 dust mask and protective goggles when sanding.

• Overcoating: Apply paint or wall coverings after an average drying time of 24 hours. Temperature, coat thickness, and substrate type all affect drying time.
