No floor protection No whites Immense pressure on the roller I will not apologise because l am a professional decorator for just of 60 years
Which type of sand block do you use please?
hi what flexi tub did you mix in?
or use a mist coat!
Noice looks like skimming a little.😊
Yeah noice....................
How is it different from drywall compound?
What ratio of water to powder?
Why not just show us all the steps
What’s the drying time before you can rework easy filler (green tub)
What was that sander you used please? Was it some sort of block on a pole that you wrap the sand paper around? Thanks
Toolstation or screwfix… pole sander
They have only been about 50 years.....................or so
Where to buy in Bristol, or southern England?
Can these be used just on board prior to plastering…if so I’m taking it there be no need for filling
Drying time?
Is this the same as bonding?
No sanding required. Once on. Smooth off and leave for 8-12 hours to dry.
Looks good any one tryed it
Would you use this product in a high moisture room such as a bathroom?
'PromoSM'
Does it sand to a very smooth surface?
Not required. So easy to use.
What brand is the knife?
So it's plaster?
Good job
Can I use this tape for inside corners?
Yes you could but its pointless. just use normal paper tape for internal corners
The reason the walls peeled in the first place was they weren't primed properly and you are repeating the same mistake. You must either use a primer or bonding agent on the area before applying the filler so it will adhere to the wall.
Thermalite are you sure ...of all the blocks to do a demo on you pick one that's not suitable 😂😂
M8, that looks terrible!. Ffs
Can i use it for skim my artex ceiling ?
Thank you for your comment, Joe. We do not recommend using EasiFill 60 to skim over an Artex ceiling. For this type of work, we suggest using the Artex Texture range. For smoothing over a textured finish, you can use Artex Textured Finish. Please see the full range of products here - www.artexltd.com/products/texture/artex-textured-finish. I hope this helps. Thank you.
P r o m o S M
Would be good if you could do these with nutserts or bespoke fixing solutions for heavy duty hanging applications. The plate would be a great way to spead the load over a wider area. I've just had a glass shower screen installed onto a plasterboard lined pocket door and I'm not totally convinced the fixings are going to stand the test of time. A long strip of this with a series of inline fixings would be a great solution!
Thank you for your comment, I will pass your feedback on to the new product development team.
Do you need to prepare with PVA first?
Thank you for your comment. There is no need to PVA the surface before filling the hole/crack, just the preparation of the hole/crack making sure that all loose material is removed and a light sand of the surface to remove any loose paper burr’s before filling. I hope this helps.
Thanks a lot! Could mix it for my wall as well, with confidence. Thank you.
We're glad you enjoyed using this product.
Can this be used like original artex from the 80’s. I have an artex ceiling on my landing and a water leak in the loft led the artex sagging.I’ve got rid of the damaged artex but have about a square metre to redo Edit: went and got some,the 1.5 kilo pack “repair texture” it was called. Done good and just had enough to do the area,the one good thing is they supply a tool that replicates the swirls from an original 1980’s artexed ceiling. The product was a bit pricey though at £30 a tub,considering when you’ve mixed the entire mixture and only get about 1.5 litre’s worth
Thank you for your comment. For this, we recommend the Easifix Texture Repair Kit. Depending on texture design and thickness, the kit will repair 1.8-3m². You can find out more about this product on our website here - www.artexltd.com/repair-hub/you-can-do-it-easifix. I hope this helps.
Can you cut to size?
We wouldn’t recommend cutting the patches to size as the mesh is proportional to the size of the metal plate inside for maximum strength and functionality of the patch. There is nothing to say you couldn't trim the mesh down although, however, we cannot guarantee that this wouldn't impact its strength and adhesion. If you are referring to cutting the metal plate in the middle to size, this would require cutting into the mesh, which would also cause issues. I hope this helps.
@@okarnoltd Very helpful! Thank you for getting back to me, it's much appreciated.
@@okarnoltdIf cutting the patch straight across the middle for a small hole, strength and adhesion won't be an issue. The metal mesh will still cover the small hole and there will be enough adhesion either side for a firm stick.
Does a previously painted wall need to be primed/sealed before putting this on?
Thank you for your query. Porous surfaces should be primed prior to decoration. Ensure that the background is clean, dry and free from flaking material, dust, oil or grease. Ensure any gloss surfaces are sanded to provide a ‘key’. Once sanded wipe the area with a clean damp sponge to remove any dust and then allow to dry.
Surely sanding is better
Looks like good stuff.
Does this mean you dont need the metal corner bead when using this tape? Yes/No.
Yes this type of paper tape has metal reinforcement strips.
Thank you for your demonstration.
What would you use for a light skim I mean tight real tight 2mm
Thank you for your comment. We recommend using the Gyproc EasiFiller Finish for skimming over larger areas. This is Easy to apply and needs minimal sanding. Apply to the damaged surface with firm upward sweeping strokes using a filling knife or trowel, in layers of 1-3mm thickness. I hope this helps.
I want to create a concrete look on my walls on a budget... Can I add grey pigment to finishing plaster?
Thank you for your comment. It is not recommended to add pigment to Finishing Plaster as this could affect the performance of the product, however, it is possible to paint over the Finishing Plaster once it is dry (always follow the paint manufacturers’ recommendations for the best results). I hope this helps.
how long it takes to dry ? and can i put screws after over it?
Thank you for your comment. When using the EasiFix Wall Repair Kit we recommend allowing 70 - 90 minutes for the drying time (depending on conditions). We would also not recommend putting screws into the repaired sections. I hope this helps.
Hi there quick question, should you not put jointing compound first ? And then the quicksand on top of it same as the easy fill finish ?
Thank you for your comment. Quicksand can be used for all stages of the jointing process and so it doesn’t require any other jointing compound first - although it can also be used as a finishing coat over Gyproc Joint Filler or Gyproc EasiFill. If using Gyproc QuickSand for all stages, simply apply to the joint to embed the tape and immediately overcoat to fully fill the tapered board edges. When dry, apply a second coat to feather out onto the board surface. Leave to dry again before applying a final coat, feathering out beyond the second. I hope this helps.
Easyfill is great to use everybody can use it This video is great to watch i have retired from plumbing but I still do bits if a job comes in I like the way you are working with it archie
That looks like crap
That's the required finish.
Can you not use paper tape with quick set compound??
Thank you for your comment. It is possible to use Gyproc Joint Tape with a quick set compound however we recommend using it with air drying materials such as Gyproc Ready Mixed Joint Cement. I hope this helps.
@@okarnoltd tnks for reply.
Thanks for this walk thru! worked out great 😻
Thank you for your comment. We're glad this Easifix Wall Repair Kit Video worked for you.
Is that a special roller? If so where can I purchase?
Thank you for your comment. This looks to be a Sandtex High Build Roller Head 7" x 1.5". We don't sell this however you should be able to find these online or at a decorator's centre. I have found one here for you - bit.ly/3uQcBLB.
can you use it on ceilings?
Thank you for your comment. This product can be used on ceilings. It is ideal for patching up small holes from things like moving spotlights, or areas of general damage on a plasterboard ceiling. When using this kit on damaged areas, always ensure the metal plate in the centre of the plasterboard patch goes beyond the edges of the damage. If the area of damage is bigger than 100mmx100mm, this kit won’t be suitable. A larger patch may be needed or, depending on the extent of the damage, the plasterboard may need replacing. You can see how to apply our Gyproc EasiPatch Plasterboard patches here - ua-cam.com/video/A7E0ok5Sxyk/v-deo.html.
Can you use this product on lime render?
Thank you for your comment. I’m afraid this is not something that we would recommend as Lime render should only be repaired with lime render. We do not supply Lime render products however, you may wish to contact a company called Lime Green. Please find attached a link to their website www.lime-green.co.uk/contact.
