JOINT & SKIM: READY TO USE

We love questions like this! We’re finding that more and more decorators, drywall specialists and builders are choosing to use fillers (such as our Joint, Skim & Fill range, for example!) as an alternative to plastering for some jobs. Not only do skimming fillers give a durable finish, but they’re breathable, don’t need to be sealed before decorating and dry white. They’re also very convenient to work with, being really easy to spread and with an open time of 45 minutes (rather than about 15 with plaster) yet they are dry in hours, rather than days, and are easy to sand for a perfect finish. Better and faster – win win!

Yes, our Joint, Skim & Fill ready mixed and powder products will both do the job depending on the depth of the Artex. If it’s been de-nibbed, either would be fine and will be just as hard as plaster, dry wall and other fillers.

The Joint & Skim product is very fine and is designed mainly for taping and jointing and fine skimming on plasterboard. The Renovation Skimcoat is also fine, but thicker, and is especially good for levelling surfaces and thicker applications, such as covering textures (but can also happily be used for taping and jointing).

Our Interior Surface products aren't suitable for wood our but Wood Repair Filler will be perfect. You will be able to paint or stain it in 3 hours.
