Rich1972 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I just want some filler, some bog-standard white filler of the type that you can buy by the tubfull as Polyfilla in B&Q. I don't mind if it's a powder that I mix myself but what the hell is it called over here!! Platre, enduit, mortier, colle?? [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of enduit is 'filler'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittycat Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I & most of the french I work with use the large sacks of board adhesive, either Joker or MAP depending where you buy it. Cheap at €5 - €8 for 25kg, it fills to any depth, sets quickly & because it's an adhesive will also strengthen your repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonrouge Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 yesterday we had a new double glazed door fitted and which left some gaps around the new door. First of all our guy filled it with quick drying mousse and then made up a mixture from a large 25kg bag much I suppose as suggested here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
