Spackling

Many of the repairs I have to make are to previous repairs that have been carried out using an inappropriate filler - usually too coarse, especially when looking for a smooth finish on plaster. Spackling is a very fine lightweight filler that has a firm and smooth consistency which is ideal as a finishing filler for smaller areas. It sets rock hard but is easy to sand to a smooth finish if necessary. Can be used indoors or outdoors. Really excellent product.
