Rigid fillers

If you have ever filled a nail or screw hole or had to repair a blemish in a wall, ceiling or on the surface of a panel, a rigid filler is the type of product you would have used. Normally these come as pre-mixed products in a tub or tin and can be used directly from the container and applied to the affected area with a putty knife, where they will cure (dry). They can be sanded back to match the surrounding area. In some cases, a second application of filler may be required.

 

CRC has a product called Builder’s Fill, which can be used on a wide range of materials, while Selleys has a variety of fillers including Permafilla and Rapidfilla, the latter of which also comes in a version called Coloursmart, which changes colour from pink to white when it has cured and is ready for sanding.
