Overview:

Toupret Plasterboard Joint & Skim Ready to Use is a pre-mixed interior filler for plasterboard jointing and surface finishing. It applies straight from the bucket - no mixing required. The paste works on gypsum, plasterboard, old painted surfaces, cement, concrete, cellular concrete, and primed wood.

Apply the filler by hand using a blade, trowel, or filling knife, or use an airless spray machine at a flow rate of 5L per minute. The product can be built up to 5mm thick, with a coverage rate of 1.7kg per m² at 1mm depth. It conforms to BS EN 13963 for plasterboard jointing applications.

The surface can be painted or overcoated within 12 to 24 hours after full drying. No spot priming is needed before painting. The product holds an A+ indoor air quality (IAQ) rating, with a VOC content of less than 0.001%.

Typical Applications

• Plasterboard jointing: Filling and finishing joints between boards on interior walls and ceilings.
• Surface skimming: Applying a thin finishing coat over interior plasterboard to produce a smooth surface.
• Wall and ceiling preparation: Levelling and smoothing surfaces before painting or wallpapering.
• Renovation finishing: Skimming over old painted walls and ceilings to refresh the surface.
• Cement and concrete finishing: Applying a skim coat to interior concrete or cement substrates.
• Large area finishing: Machine spray application on commercial or large-scale interior projects.
• Cellular concrete levelling: Skimming and finishing interior cellular concrete walls.
• Primed wood finishing: Surface finishing on interior primed wood substrates.

How to Use

• Preparation: Check that the substrate is clean, dry, sound, and cohesive. Remove any loose material, dust, or contamination before starting.

• Application: Apply directly from the bucket using a filling knife, trowel, or coating blade. The product is ready to use - no mixing is required.

• Thickness: Apply up to 5mm thick. For plasterboard jointing and skimming, the recommended application thickness is 0.5mm.

• Spray application: For machine use, load the product into an airless spray machine. Set the flow rate to 5L per minute for consistent output.

• Drying and recoating: Allow the filler to dry fully before applying a second coat. Drying times range from 12 to 24 hours, depending on coat thickness, substrate, and site conditions.

• Sanding and finishing: Once fully dry, sand back as needed to achieve the desired finish. Always wear a P2 dust mask when sanding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What surfaces can this filler be applied to?
  The filler bonds to gypsum, plasterboard, old painted surfaces, cement, concrete, cellular concrete, and primed wood. It is for interior use only and should not be applied to exterior surfaces.

• How long does it take to dry before painting?
  The surface is ready to paint or overcoat in 12 to 24 hours on average. Actual drying time depends on the coat thickness, the substrate, and the ambient temperature and humidity on site.

• Does the surface need priming before painting?
  No spot priming is needed before overcoating. Once fully dry, you can apply any type of paint, filler, or wall coating directly over the surface.

• Can it be used with a spray machine?
  Yes. The filler is suitable for airless spray application at a flow rate of 5L per minute, making it well-suited to larger interior finishing projects.

• What temperature conditions are needed for application?
  Do not apply below +8°C or above +35°C. Relative humidity on site must not exceed 70% during application and drying. Avoid applying in frost conditions or direct sunlight.
