Polycell Plaster Repair Ready Mixed Polyfilla is specially formulated to be much easier to apply and smooth out than ordinary plaster. It is ready mixed with a light consistency which will not slump, shrink or crack and adheres strongly. It smooths out easily to a ‘ready to decorate’ finish.
Ensure surface is dry and free from loose material. Rub down gloss surfaces.
