    Appreciate your time making the videos.., I’ve always used the Polyfilla easy sand and won’t be changing anytime soon, I just find it easy to use and it never shows up after painting.., I’m no expert but it’s never let me down! 👍

    Nice comparison there. I’ve used the toupret in their various different ranges and also the pollyfilla. Me personally will use either pollyfilla or toupret. I do see your point regarding mixing toupret can be a bit funny if you add too much water. I believe it has resins in it willing may explain how it goes so hard but difficult to mix with trapped air. Interesting to see all 3 though buddy! Thanks for sharing ✌️

    The toupret filler to try is tx110.
    I think most of us get used to one product knowing setting times etc.

      Why tx110
      I use toupret interior all the time I thought tx110 was just fast drying?

      ​@jeffbruce1050 For me the quick setting is usually an advantage.
      I think it mixes slightly differently and perhaps less slump than the regular interior toupret.
      In honesty though I just tend to buy the tx110.

      @@Enpassantful to be honest I don't really like ready mixed filler. Some times the small tubes are good for a large job with small amounts of filling. You can walk around with it and use it when needed. Thanks

    TouPret TX10 has no depth limitation. Best filler for deep repairs and sets quickly, sands well. Polyfilla is inferior, along with any filler that needs multiple fills for basic repairs.

    • @PaintingandDecorating
      @PaintingandDecorating  Місяць тому

      I found Toupret more difficult to use and doesn't leave the best finish on flat walls. Pollyfilla sands better leaves a smooth finish. Thanks

    Used them all and easi fill is the best mainly the 20 and 60 doesn't need spot priming with vinyl's either. Sand and cement for general exterior repairs exterior fillers to expensive for general repairs the toupret exterior lighhweight ready mixed is good for any last minute small repairs can't understand why a lot of people are paying £70-80 for 10-15 kg for exterior filler.

      @jackwardley3626 for exterior masonry filling I agree with you, sand cement and sbr makes for really strong repairs.
      I can't say I like easifill as it to me sets a bit soft.

    you needed to add some more powder to the toupret, not a fair test. I'm surprised you didn't test british gypsum easyfill too.

    I find polyfilla is poor for correcting shallow defects and mapping. De-bonds when you paint over it (with water based paint). Easyfill and Toupret are better options for these types of defects imo. Good video though 👍

      @@PaintingandDecorating Have you tried the new ‘Roller Filler’ that keeps popping up on here? Like a roller scuttle with a lid.. roll it over the whole wall and then smooth with a spatula. Looks like it might take the place of lining paper for snotty walls.. perhaps. I’m intrigued by it but haven’t tried it yet.
