Flex-E-Fill MX –
One coat repair and smooth
Our diverse range of fillers & smoothers features 8 products, 3 of which
are pre-mixed. Each product has been developed to tackle the most
common problems that decorators face.
Our most popular product in the line is the Flex-E-Fill MX. A lightweight
premium pre-mixed filler that repairs and smooths in just one coat! It
can be used to repair any size hole, crack or dent and smooth surfaces
prior to painting. It's very fast drying, making it the ideal filler for quick
jobs.
It does not shrink and remains slightly flexible even when dry,
preventing the reoccurrence of hairline cracks. It can also be worked
between two filling knives to increase elasticity and ease of application.
Seven other products complete the range, which you can find at good
decorating centres over the coming months. For information on your
