Filling up of seams and cracks

Filling up of seams and cracks

Before you paint your living room again, it is best to first fill all nail holes or cracks and eliminate any bursts and joints. You can read how to do this quickly in four simple steps below.

Instructions

1. Clean the hole or crack

Remove all loose pieces, dirt and dust.

2. Open the cartridge or pot

Take the cover off the pot and stir the product. Cut the top off the cartridge with a safety cutter. Turn the nozzle on top and cut the end slanted. You get the best result if the opening in the nozzle is just as large as the crack or hole you want to fill. Put the cartridge in the caulking gun and squeeze the handle until Repair Express Plaster appears.

3. Start filling

Apply a thin layer of Soudal Repair Express Plaster. Spray the product into the hole or crack with the caulking gun and smooth with a wet filling knife. You then get a flat result. If you only use a filling knife, scoop the product straight out of the pot and smear a thin layer over the crack or hole. Pull the filling knife over the wall in a smooth, flowing movement. You then avoid causing any damage.

4. Leave to dry and paint over

Soudal Repair Express Plaster is dry after 60 minutes. You can already overpaint after 15 minutes. If you have used a lot of the product, be sure to check that it has sufficiently hardened before your start painting. First lightly sand the product.

Tip:

  • Give nails or screw heads that you want to hang up a lick of paint before you start working with Soudal Repair Express Plaster. You then avoid discolouration due to rust, for example.
  • Do you have to fill a large crack or deep hole? Apply the product in different layers. Allow each layer to dry for at least 1 hour before applying a next layer.
  • Non-cured spilled Repair Express Plaster can be easily removed with water. Also clean your filling knife with water as long as the product has not cured. The following is also useful:
  • Quickly clean your hands with Soudal Swipex wipes .
