What is hand filler?
Hand filler is a ready-mixed filler that is applied by hand using a filling tool. It is used to level out, repair and prepare walls and ceilings before painting and wallpapering.
There are different kinds of hand filler. The most common are:
- All-round filler.
- Low shrinkage hand filler.
- Special filler for plasterboard joints, corners, wet rooms, outdoors, woodwork
and particularly vulnerable environments such as stairwells and public
premises.
When is hand filler used?
Hand filling is a traditional filling method that is ideal for small renovation or new construction projects. Used to repair holes and cracks, for joint filling of plasterboard panels, corner filling and fine smoothing of walls and ceilings.
It is particularly suitable for small projects, for example if you have to apply filler to a single wall, a ceiling or just a few rooms. This technique is popular among professional decorators because of the precision and control it offers.
Filler applied by hand can be used on common substrates such as plasterboard, concrete, plaster, brick, wood, wallpaper and glass fibre fabric.
What is meant by coarse filler, medium filler and fine filler?
Many users look for coarse filler, medium filler or fine filler when they have to choose a filler. At Dalapro we prefer to use terms that describe the function and area of application.
What is often referred to as coarse filler corresponds to our low shrinkage fillers, and is suitable for filling large, uneven surfaces. Medium and fine fillers usually correspond to our all-round fillers.
Choosing a filler based on properties instead of degree of coarseness makes it easier to find the right product for each task.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to applying hand filler
Make sure that the wall or ceiling is clean and dry. Remove dust, loose particles and any old paint that is coming loose.
Use a putty knife to distribute the filler evenly over the surface. Putty knives with broader blades are a good idea for larger areas.
Use protective gloves.
Allow the surface to dry before you sand it; it will then be ready for painting or wallpapering.
Drying time, durability and environmental tips when using hand filler
Take care when choosing your filler, tools and accessories
For the best results, it’s important to choose not only the right kind of filler, but also

working on.

and 400 ml tubes for minor repairs.

Available in different variants for different purposes – traditional smoothers, broad
smoothers, special tools for details and repairs.
