Overview:

Toupret Fill-Flex Fibacryl is a ready-to-use filler for gaps and cracks on interior and exterior surfaces. Its formula moves with the substrate, so it will not crack after drying. It bonds to plaster, masonry, primed wood and painted surfaces without needing spot priming - making it a sensible option for new builds and renovation work.

Fill-Flex fills up to 1cm deep in a single application. It dries to a white finish and accepts paint or overcoating within 24 to 48 hours. It suits areas where movement is likely - such as around skirting boards, architraves and staircases.

The filler conforms to BS EN 16566:2014 and carries an A+ indoor air quality classification, with a VOC content below 0.05%. It comes ready mixed - no preparation is needed before applying.

• Overcoat or paint: Once fully dry, apply any paint or Toupret filler over the repaired surface.

• Clean tools: Allow any product residue on tools to dry, then rub off. Water cleaning is not required.
