Bartoline Multi Purpose Powder Filler

Bartoline Multi Purpose Filler Powder is an easy to mix and simple to use traditional filler ideal for preparing surfaces by filling cracks and holes in walls, ceilings, around door frames and skirting boards. It has excellent adhesive properties to keep the filler firmly in position and sets hard enough to take nails or screws. It also provides a smooth white surface for overpainting or wallpapering, which does not shrink, and may be sanded when dry. Suitable for exterior use when it is sealed with an oil-based paint or varnish.

Suitable for repairs to plaster, plasterboard, wood, brick, stone and most other building materials.

Preparation:

For best results brush out loose material and dust from crack or hole to be filled. Hairline cracks should be slightly enlarged to ensure good filler penetration. Moisten absorbent surfaces with water. Touch in nail and screw heads with an oilbased paint to prevent rusting.

Mixing:

Only mix an amount that can be used within 40 minutes. Add approximately 2.5 parts filler to 1 part cold water and mix to a stiff paste. Use a thicker mix for deep cracks/holes. Always mix the filler in a clean container as dirty container can affect the drying time.

Application:

Do not use externally when rain is imminent. Apply filler with trowel or filling knife and press firmly into cavity. Smooth off slightly proud of the surface and when dry rub down with sandpaper.

Finish:

Dries white. Can be overpainted or papered, without priming. When used outdoors protect the filled area from rain and water during setting, then seal with an oil-based paint/varnish to protect from weathering.
