If its that old lime plaster it does to "bind" it first with some PVA in water mix to stop in frying so it holds together at the edges otherwise that stuff just wants to drop away and you end up following it around......

Yep ponty.....my boss always carries it in the van....good for those smaller jobs like tidying round backboxes and fronts etc....nice n light and i think you can fill upto 75mm in one go.....good stuff......

1.0 out of 5 stars This filler is rubbish.
Filler is absolutely crap, Does the opposite of what it's supposed to. It cracks during drying and I wouldn't recommend it for filling holes deeper than 5mm as the filler never dries properly. The filler when dried is too soft and if the hole is deep then you're able to puncture the area with your finger quite easily. Doesn't dry to a hard surface and definitely not worth...

Multi finish with sand for balast so it does not crack. Then top coat with multi finish. Same day is fine.

I use bonding then easy fill if I have time as it's invisible when sanded down if your not that great on the trowel

Is this your experience of using this product ipu or are you just quoting Mr. Samuel?....We use it all the time and i find it a good product to use.....Admittedly there is plenty of crap products out there but i dont think this is one of them.....and i do talk from experience of using it.
To Ponty....Give it a go like you say and post your views on it here mate....it may be an aquired taste but i havn`t had any problems with it...............

h\ve used something similar and they require two coats and it takes ages to dry if you put on thick.... but as you say , do for tidying up if needs be,
