I'm after a filler that I can use on walls/ceilings that is very easy to sand down. I did have some of this about 5 years ago that I got from a building site I worked on for 9 months, but it's all gone. It was a paste, and was so so easy to sand down (seemed to have some shiny particles in it...) Just to use on little gouges/nicks in plaster, to then emulsion over after...

Does anyone know what stuff is best? Found nothing on PH, but found this (Toupret TX110) on Google. Anyone used it?

Many thanks
Cad

Sands really well, was recommended to me by our plasterer.
Linky no worky.
Does for me.
Me too smile

Is this stuff really easy to sand? The stuff I had before was almost like chalk once dry...

Thanks for the link btw thumbup

So easy to sand that you can use the abrasive side of a kitchen sponge.

It's solid once painted though.
This is the really crumbly white stuff isn't it? If so, I've used it and didn't really like it. I 'm after a proper decorators filler that is easy sanding.

Thanks for the tip though.
