Task difficulty: Very easy

Step by step process

1. 

   Step 1

   Ensure the area of ceiling to be treated is clean, dry and free from mould and loose particles.

2. 

   Step 2

   Stir Polycell Multipurpose Magic Polyfilla to a creamy consistency.

3. 

   Step 3

   Using a filling knife, press the filler into the damaged area. Smooth off with a wet knife. When Magic Polyfilla is dry it will turn from a pink colour to white - you'll be able to see when it's ready to paint without having to climb back up the stepladder.
