    I need to chase a wall from top to bottom (8ft) and insert conduit to take 2 cables to a new socket.I wonder what would be the best product to fill this chase afterwards.Im not too fussy about finish as it will be at the back of a wardrobe.

    I recently filled a load of chases with bonding coat. Worked really well but took an age to dry out. left it slightly below the existing surface and plasterer skimmed over the top. Plasterer told me you don't need to wait for bonding coat to dry fully and he skimmed over other areas he freshly bonded within a few hours. That did delay the final drying time by a few days depending on how deep the bonding was.

    If you're not fussy about the finish you can apply thin skim coat the top yourself with a wide filling knife or even a paint scraper and then sand it down after.

    Gyproc joint filler.

    Will harden in less than an hour, dry out in about 2 days depending on depth..
