Bartoline Plaster Skim & Repair excels in quickly rectifying common surface imperfections. Its ready-mixed nature means you can open the tub and begin work immediately, making it perfect for spontaneous repair jobs. Imagine needing to fill small holes left by picture frames, minor cracks appearing over time, or smoothing out slight dents on a newly installed plasterboard wall – this product handles these tasks with ease.
The non-slump formula is particularly beneficial when working on vertical surfaces, allowing you to achieve a perfectly smooth, level repair without the frustration of the product sagging or dripping. Once dry, which leaves a crisp white surface, you can confidently paint directly over it or, after applying a suitable sealer, wallpaper the area for a seamless finish, making your walls look brand new again.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area to be repaired is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Scrape away any flaking paint or plaster.
Apply the Repair: Using a suitable spatula or filling knife, apply a small amount of the ready mix to the damaged area.
Smooth: Work the product into the hole or crack, ensuring it's flush with the surrounding surface. Smooth off any excess immediately for a clean finish.
Dry: Allow the repair to dry thoroughly. Drying time will vary depending on ambient conditions and application thickness.
Sand (Optional): Once dry, lightly sand the area if necessary to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
Seal for Wallpaper: Before applying wallpaper, the dried surface must be sealed with a plaster sealer or a sealer/PVA mix to ensure proper adhesion. For painting, sealing is generally not required after the repair is fully dry.
Substrates: Primarily designed for repairs on plaster and plasterboard.
Finishes: Compatible with most paints and wallpapers once dry and properly prepared (sealed for wallpaper).
Storage: Store the product in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry, frost-free environment.
Tool Cleaning: Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with warm water.
