FAQs

Is Polycell Plaster Repair suitable for exterior use?

Polycell Plaster Repair is designed for interior plaster repairs only. It is not formulated for exterior applications.

Can I paint over the repair once it's dry?

Yes, once the Polycell Plaster Repair is completely dry, it can be sanded smooth and then painted or decorated to match the surrounding surface.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of the application and ambient conditions (temperature and humidity). Generally, it will be touch dry within a few hours, but allow for longer drying times before sanding or painting, especially for thicker applications.

Can this product be used to fill large holes?

For very deep holes, it is recommended to apply the Polycell Plaster Repair in multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. This prevents excessive shrinkage and cracking.

What is the shelf life of this product?

When stored correctly in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from frost, the product typically has a long shelf life. However, once opened, it is best to use it within a reasonable timeframe to ensure optimal performance.

Do I need to mix anything with it before use?

No, Polycell Plaster Repair is a ready-mixed formulation. It is designed to be used straight from the container without any additional mixing.

Troubleshooting

Filler is too stiff or difficult to spread

Ensure the container has been properly sealed. If the product has started to dry, it may be difficult to work with. Try adding a tiny amount of water and mixing thoroughly if the product is only slightly stiff, but avoid adding too much as it can affect performance.

Filler has shrunk or cracked after drying

This can occur if applied too thickly in a single layer. For deeper repairs, apply the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Ensure the underlying plaster is sound and free from loose debris.

Filler is not adhering to the plaster

Ensure the plaster surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For best adhesion, lightly score the surface of very smooth plaster if necessary.

Product has dried out in the container

If the product has dried out completely, it cannot be rehydrated and will need to be replaced. Ensure the lid is always tightly sealed after use.
