    Hi All,

    I need to repair a mark in a plasterboard wall. I have been using Polyfilla -allow to dry, sand down and have painted over but the mark is still somewhat visible.

    Can anyone recommend something where I can get a smoother finish?

    Cheers in advance.

    Ronseal smooth finish filler.

    Brilliant and dries in about 15 mins.if you go back over it after about 3 minutes with a wet filling knife,it will be smooth as a babies bum,and then a very very light sand with a sanding sponge.And I mean a very very light sand too.

    Job done.:)

    Also,you will need to paint 2-3 coats of paint over the area for it to fully disappear and blend in with the rest of the wall.

    Hi Paddy,

    Thanks for the reply and info.

    I'd seen the ad recently on tv for this product and was waiting to see if anybody had used it before trying it out.

    Thanks
    Donal
