Remain flexible when dry - can be overcoated after 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity Do not apply the filler at temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C or at a relative humidity higher than 80% To get it flush with wall surface use a sponge or decorating knife to wipe off any excess - best applied in two stages I have been a professional painter and decorator for many years and over that time I have used several different types of filler, including some from the Toupret range. Toupret is a French company, however their products have been available in Britain for a while now.

Toupret produce some great fillers, as well as the odd product that isn’t as good. One of the things Toupret seem to get right is avoiding the issue of flashing. In layman’s terms, this is where you make a repair to, say a wall using filler, then proceed to paint it, only to have the emulsion over the filler dry a different colour to the rest. There can be a couple of causes, but that is a different topic altogether.

Toupret joint and skim comes in ready mixed and powder form. There is a full review here, but I have only used the powder form so I can’t comment on the ready mixed sorry. Toupret joint and skim mixes up easily and goes on smoothly. It dries at a reasonable rate, sands down very well and like the rest of the Toupret range, it doesn’t flash/grin through after applying paint. It mixes nicely, sands down well and it’s reasonably priced.

I've decided to try and see if Toupret Fibacryl would improve things. I have a 310ml tube of the stuff ready, I am just trying to decide how best to apply it.

The Toupret Fibacryl filler should be applied by either filling knife or blade and should only be overcoated once completely dry. Toupret TX110 isn’t quite as “rapid drying” as the name suggests. In fact, you can be waiting a couple of hours on some deeper holes or if you’re working in cold conditions. That said, it is easy to work with, easy to sand and doesn’t flash through emulsion. I did have a problem once when the moisture from my emulsion made the filler swell, but I think that was down to me applying too much paint in one go. Good product. With a bit of practice, you can make it so smooth that no visitor will realise you have replastered that area!

They advise you to leave the filler for 12 hours to cure, which is a pain, however unlike most fine surface fillers, there is no flashing. To be honest, I have had a nightmare painting over lightweight filler from other brands, so this is a breath of fresh air. Toupret ready mixed is fluffy and easy to use. Another downside is the lid doesn’t fit properly so the filler can start to hard when left.Basic Brush Mate Clover Chemicals Coral Eco Union Go!
