  • Just bought the no nonsense ready mix plaster to fill in a ‘chase’ after removing a pipe. Is it the right product to use it was shit to apply so going to have apply it in layers. Or do I go and use the toupret filler to level it out.

    I was trying to do patch repair after the plaster had blown when the previous owner got it skimmed.

  • Toupret are my go to because time is money and they always work a bit better than expected (especially if you read instructions). I'm sure there are lots of decent ones but I've been using Toupret so long I don't know much about the options.

    I've also started routinely painting filler patches with Gardz from Zinsser before emulsion and that has made some really brutal chasing patches disappear.

  • You are all about the toupret, are you on commission? ;) Used toupret in france on your advice, worked well.

    Edit: you should be on zinsser commission, used the stain blocker and you were right. Others I usef, claimed much but the stain marks came through.

    Have used easy fill or similar?

  • Thanks should of stuck to my guns but you live and learn. Better use the rest of it now I’ve spent money on it

    Can you use it as a top finish? Or just continue with plaster

    I guess I’ll wait to see how it dries and sands

  • I've used Gardz on your recommendation and also Zinsser B-I-N stain blocker and had good results with both.

    The latter painted successfully over some quite bad water stains in the kitchen ceiling.
