Overview:

Toupret Plasterboard Joint Skim & Fill is a powder-based filler for plasterboard jointing, surface skimming, and interior filling. It applies in a single coat with no shrinkage and no depth limit. The formula conforms to BS EN 13963:2014 for plasterboard jointing applications.

Mixed with water on-site, the product has a working time of 40 minutes and a coverage rate of 1.1kg per m² at 1mm depth. It bonds directly to plasterboard without the need for spot priming before overcoating. A second coat can be applied after 45 minutes when tackling more substantial applications.

This filler carries an A+ indoor air quality (IAQ) classification and a VOC content below 0.01%. It accepts any paint or wall coating within 12 to 24 hours after application. The 10kg powder bag is guaranteed for 12 months from purchase when stored away from moisture.

Typical Applications

• Plasterboard jointing: Filling and finishing taped joints between boards.
• Surface skimming: Applying a thin finishing coat over plasterboard for a smooth surface before decoration.
• Hole and crack filling: Repairing imperfections in walls and ceilings before painting.
• Levelling applications: Addressing more substantial surface irregularities where greater depth is needed.
• Surface preparation: Preparing interior walls and ceilings ahead of painting or wallpapering.
• Repairs to old painted surfaces: Filling damaged areas on previously decorated walls.
• Cement and concrete repairs: Patching minor surface damage on interior cement or concrete substrates.
• Primed wood filling: Addressing surface defects on primed interior timber before decoration.

How to Use

• Surface preparation: The substrate must be hard, cohesive, clean, sound, and dry before application. Follow current trade preparation practices.

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

• Application: Apply manually using a coating blade, trowel, or wall scraper. One coat is sufficient for most applications. Work within the 40-minute working time once mixed.

• Second coat (if required): For more demanding or deep applications, a further coat can be applied after 45 minutes. There is no depth limit.

• Drying and overcoating: Leave to dry fully before painting or applying a wall coating - typically 12 to 24 hours, depending on substrate, coat thickness, and ambient conditions.

• Sanding: Sand once fully dry as required. Always wear a P2 dust mask and eye protection during sanding.
