Key Takeaways:

  • Zero Shrinkage: The Repair Express Plaster formula is specifically designed to stay exactly where you put it. It will not shrink or crack as it dries, which means you typically only need a single application.
  • Granular Texture for Masonry: Repair Express Cement contains a granular structure. This allows it to blend perfectly with existing mortar joints and concrete surfaces.
  • Material Specificity: While these products are all fast-setting, each is chemically tailored for its target material. Always use the specific version for wood, plaster, or cement to ensure the best thermal expansion match.
  • Ready for Finish: Every product in this range is paintable once cured. This allows you to achieve an invisible repair that matches the surrounding area perfectly.

Application Guide by Surface

  • Repair Express Plaster: Ideal for filling cracks in walls and ceilings.
    1. Prepare the cartridge by cutting the nozzle to the crack width.
    2. Apply the product directly into the cracks.
    3. Smoothen with a spatula for a flush finish.
  • Repair Express Cement: Best for repairing mortar joints and crevasses in masonry walls. Apply the product directly into the wall crevasses to prevent water ingress.

FAQs

  • Do I need to sand the plaster filler? Repair Express Plaster has a very smooth finish. If applied carefully with a spatula, sanding is often not required. If you do need to sand, wait until the product is fully cured.
  • Is the wood repair suitable for outdoor furniture? Yes. Repair Express Wood is weather-resistant once cured and painted. It accommodates the natural movement of timber to prevent the filler from popping out.
  • How fast can I paint over the cement repair? While it skins quickly, we recommend waiting for the product to harden completely before painting to ensure the best adhesion for your topcoat.
