Overview:

Toupret Fill-Flex Fibacryl is a ready-mixed flexible filler for gaps and cracks on interior and exterior surfaces. Designed for areas prone to movement - such as skirting boards, architraves, and staircases - its formula moves with the substrate and will not crack.

Fill-Flex bonds directly to plasterwork, masonry, primed wood, and painted surfaces without spot priming. It fills defects up to 1cm deep and accepts any paint or filler once dry - typically within 24-48 hours.

The 310ml cartridge is used with a standard applicator gun for clean, controlled application. It carries an A+ indoor air quality (IAQ) rating and conforms to BS EN 16566:2014.

How to Use

• Prepare the surface: The surface must be hard, clean, sound, and dry. Remove any loose material and prepare in line with standard trade practice. Do not apply to damp substrates.

• Check conditions: Do not apply below 5°C or above 35°C. Do not apply at a relative humidity above 80%.

• Load the cartridge: Fit the 310ml cartridge into a standard applicator gun and attach the nozzle. Cut the nozzle tip to the required opening size.

• Apply the filler: Apply Fill-Flex using the applicator gun, then smooth with a filling knife, putty knife, or trowel. The product can fill up to 1cm deep.

• Remove excess: Wipe away any excess filler with a damp sponge immediately after application.

• Allow to dry, then overcoat: Leave to dry for 24-48 hours before painting or applying a finishing coat. Actual drying time varies with substrate, coat thickness, and ambient conditions. Once dry, the filler must be painted or overcoated.
