Overview:

Toupret Exterior Tough Multi-Filler is a fibre-reinforced exterior filler designed for filling, repairing, and localised skimming. It bonds to a wide range of building substrates without the need to pre-seal. The cement-based powder formula delivers strong adhesion and can be applied at any fill depth.

Mix at a ratio of 400ml water per 1kg of powder for a consistent, workable finish. Working time is 40 minutes, and once fully dry, the surface can be overcoated in 24 hours with any standard water-based masonry or mineral paint.

Apply at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C at a relative humidity no greater than 80%. Always wear gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask when sanding. Contains cement - read the care for use guidelines on the packaging or the Safety Data Sheet before handling.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fibre-reinforced formula: Fibres add strength and support to repairs on all exterior building substrates.
• No maximum fill depth: Apply to any repair depth; the recommended maximum for skimming coats is 5mm.
• No substrate sealing required: Apply directly to clean, sound, cohesive, and dry substrates without priming first.
• Strong adhesion: Achieves filler-to-substrate adhesion of more than 0.8MPa (EN 16-566).
• Wide substrate compatibility: Bonds to gypsum plaster, cement, concrete, breeze blocks, bricks, stones, glass, and glazed tiles.
• Paintable in 24 hours: Overcoat with any water-based masonry or mineral paint once fully dry.
• Easy to sand: Sands back smoothly for a clean, flat finish.
• 40-minute working time: Allows adequate time to apply and work the filler before it sets.
• Good coverage: 1.1kg covers 1m² at 1mm depth (1100g/m²).
• BS EN 16566:2014 compliant: Meets the standard for fillers used in internal and/or external works.
• 6-month product guarantee: Guaranteed for 6 months from purchase when stored in the original packaging away from humidity.

Typical Applications

• Filling cracks and holes in exterior walls
• Repairing damaged cement, concrete, and masonry surfaces
• Localised skimming on exterior substrates before painting
• Surface repairs to breeze blocks, bricks, and stone
• Patching old painted surfaces ahead of redecoration
• Repairs to glass and glazed tile substrates
• Shaping and forming exterior surfaces without formwork

How to Use

• Prepare the substrate: The substrate must be hard, cohesive, clean, sound, and dry. Remove any loose material, dust, or contamination before you begin.

• Mix the filler: Add 400ml of water per 1kg of powder (40%). Pour the powder into room-temperature water and stir until smooth.

• Apply the filler: Use a filling knife, trowel, or coating blade to apply. There is no maximum fill depth for repairs; limit skimming coats to 5mm.

• Allow to dry: Apply a second coat as soon as the first is hard and dry to the touch. Allow 24 hours before painting under normal conditions.

• Sand the surface: Once fully dry, sand back as required for a smooth finish. Always wear a dust mask when sanding.

• Overcoat: Apply any water-based masonry or mineral paint after 24 hours. When using polyurethane or epoxy solvent-based paints, first apply a water-based exterior primer coat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How long does exterior filler take to dry before painting?
  Toupret Exterior Tough Multi-Filler is ready to paint after 24 hours on average. Actual drying time varies depending on the substrate, coat thickness, temperature, and ambient humidity at the time of application.

• Can this filler be used on painted exterior surfaces?
  Yes. It bonds to both painted and unpainted substrates, including old painted surfaces. The surface must be hard, clean, and dry, with no flexible coatings present, before application.

• What is the minimum temperature for applying exterior filler?
  Do not apply below 5°C or above 35°C. Relative humidity must not exceed 80% at the time of application. Always check conditions before starting work.

• Does exterior filler need a primer or sealer before use?
  No primer or sealer is required. Tough Multi-Filler can be applied directly to the substrate. Surfaces must simply be clean, sound, cohesive, and dry beforehand.

• Can this filler be used for deep exterior repairs?
  Yes. There is no maximum fill depth for repairs. For localised skimming work, the recommended maximum coat thickness is 5mm per application.
