Filing dents in plaster

dave82_2

We had the house we are renovating replastered some time ago and are just getting round to painting now.

Overall the plaster is good but there a few dents here and there.

What am I best to fill these with that won't end up standing out more than the dents do!

Easyfill will be fine but any good filler like tetrion or polyfiller will do the job.If there really fine, ie scratches joint cement (often called aims will be best)

Easi fill and Tetrion are good. I'd avoid ready mixed polyfiller as it is a dog to sand. I have never used the powder version.

Ah quality, my father in law said he had been reccomended some French stuff by a decorator. He couldn't remember the name this must be it!

Just ordered up a couple of small tubs will give it a go.

it is easy to sand down - all their products are far superior to tetrion - polifilla etc

If you apply filler properly there is virtually no need for any sanding down.

Follow the instructions on the product. Or ask your Uncle Google.
