Overview:

Toupret Decorators Patch & Repair Filler Quick Dry is a fast-setting interior powder filler for gaps, cracks, scratches, and holes on plasterboard and other internal substrates. Once applied, it dries ready to paint in just 3 hours, making it well-suited for projects where turnaround time matters.

The filler carries no depth limitation, so there is no need for multiple build coats. It sets without shrinkage, removes the need for spot priming, and sands back smoothly for a clean finish. Coverage works out at 1kg per litre of mixed product.

Apply between +8°C and +35°C, keeping relative humidity below 70%. The product is guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase when stored correctly in its original sealed packaging, away from moisture.

How to Use

• Preparation: Check that the substrate is hard, sound, clean, and dry. Remove any loose or flaking material before application.

• Mixing: Add 450ml of water per 1kg of powder (45%). Pour the powder into the water at room temperature and stir until a smooth, lump-free consistency is reached.

• Application: Apply using a filling knife, coating blade, or trowel. There is no depth limit, so the product can be applied in a single pass regardless of hole or crack depth.

• Drying time: Allow the filler to dry fully before painting - approximately 3 hours in standard conditions. Drying times vary with substrate type, coat thickness, temperature, and humidity.

• Sanding: Once completely dry, sand back using appropriate abrasive paper to achieve a smooth, level finish.

• Cleaning: Clean tools with water after use while the product is still wet.
