The Bartoline Multi Purpose Powder Filler in White is designed for DIYers and professionals undertaking repairs on a variety of building materials including plaster, plasterboard, wood, brick, and stone. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, non-shrink finish that's easy to sand and ready for painting or wallpapering, ideal for preparing surfaces. A caveat to consider is its suitability for exterior use only when properly sealed against weathering.

Drying time varies depending on the depth of the fill, temperature, and humidity, but it is typically ready for sanding within a few hours. It dries white.
The filler itself should be applied to dry surfaces. While absorbent surfaces should be slightly moistened before application, avoid applying to actively damp or wet walls. Ensure good ventilation during drying.
Yes, the filler can be overpainted or papered without priming once it is dry and sanded smooth.
For larger holes, it is recommended to use a thicker mix and potentially build up the filler in layers, allowing each layer to set before applying the next. Ensure good adhesion to the sides of the hole.
Store the powder filler in a cool, dry place in its original, well-sealed packaging to maintain its effectiveness.
The shelf life is typically long if stored correctly in a dry environment. Refer to the packaging for any specific 'use by' dates.
Yes, for exterior use, provided the filled area is properly sealed with an oil-based paint or varnish once the filler is dry and has set, to protect it from weathering.
Adjust the water content. Add water very gradually if too crumbly, or a tiny bit more powder if too sticky. Ensure water is cold.
The filler may have been applied too thickly in one go or on a surface that moved. For deep cracks, build up in layers, allowing each to set. Ensure the base material is stable.
Ensure sufficient air circulation and appropriate temperature. Avoid applying in very damp conditions. Check that the mixing ratio was correct.
Allow the filler to dry completely. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and sand with light, even pressure. Ensure no dampness remains.
Preparation:
Before filling, ensure the crack or hole is clear of loose material and dust. For hairline cracks, slightly enlarge them to improve filler penetration. If the surface is absorbent, such as new plaster, dampen it lightly with water.
Mixing:
Add approximately 2.5 parts of filler powder to 1 part of cold water in a clean container. Mix to a stiff paste. For deeper repairs, use a slightly thicker mix. Only mix the amount you can use within 40 minutes, as the filler will begin to harden.
Application:
Apply the mixed filler using a trowel or filling knife, pressing it firmly into the area to be filled. Apply slightly proud of the surface to allow for sanding. Do not apply externally if rain is imminent.
Finishing:
Once the filler has dried completely (it dries white), rub down the area with fine-grit sandpaper until smooth and flush with the surrounding surface. The filler is ready to be painted or wallpapered over without priming.
Exterior Use:
If used outdoors, the filled area must be protected from rain and water during the setting process. Once dry, seal the repaired area with an oil-based paint or varnish to protect it from weathering.
Care:
Keep the powder filler in a dry place. Clean tools immediately after use with water.
