Doesn't it dry out though, even with the cap on? That's what I'd read. I don't think I have much to do, and conveniently my Dad had a new box of the powder he gave me

Quite possibly it would dry out if you were only using it occasionally. I used an entire pot, over the space of a few months, and it stayed useable for the required period of time.

If you want filler to keep in the shed for occasional use over the course of a period of years, buy powder. If you need high-strength repairs or a product suitable for external work, One Fill is unsuitable. However, if you're doing a reasonable amount of cosmetic filling work in a relatively short period, One Fill is easy to use, convenient and gives great results.

Powdered stuff is cheaper and a box will last donkeys years. Pre-mixed is less MSE, but you don't have to faff about mixing it up.

I used to use powdered but just can't be bothered any more. I use cheap tubes of pre-mixed (not the premium brands). They don't dry out too badly - I've used them up before they've dried out, and have had tubes for over a year.

Neither is better - there's just a cheaper option or a more expensive but more convenient one.
