What's the best filler to use before painting walls?
For cracks and dinks? Red Devil OneTime

You can't paint over domestic/prosumer bath/sanitary 'silicone' sealant.
You can easily paint over acrylic, but as it is water based, it will shrink by at least 10% as it dries/cures.
'MS' (modified silicone) sealants were developed partly to be overpaintable.
Soudal do some, but seem to have had their range at Toolstation reduced to just

I would use Toupret TX 110 but it gets really easy to cover any filler if you prime it with Gardz from Zinsser.
Use an acrylic sealant or decorators mastic before you paint, then paint when it's dry.
Apparently Zinsser Cover Stain can be applied to melamine, I'd be tempted to sand it with a very fine grit around 320, try not to scratch it up too much though.

What's the best filler to use before painting walls? Poly filler has always taken a while to paint over.
When painting walls around upvc windows do I paint and then silicon or fill the gap with something then paint?
Also, any opinion on my question from previous? What primer/paint combo is best to renovate some melamine fitted wardrobes. Or wrap with something?
