Pollyfilla in a tube?

Wearb · 02-04-2025 11:46AM #1

Is there anything similar to pollyfilla but in a tube for use in a mastic gun. I've had lots of different stuff, but mostly gone hard by next use. It needs to be for external use. It doesn't need to be bonding stuff together, just for filling gaps about the size of a thumb.

I've about 10 tubes of useless stuff so any good recommendations welcome.

Have used this several times find it very good to work with and seal. This is the grey one nearly sure it also comes it white to.

No idea why that won't work as a link but it's no nonsense 504 concrete repair at screwfix

Got the link to work. Wanted a more general filler for either wood or concrete or plasterboard.

Does that one last long after first use?

Above are 2 different products. I seal them well after use, but they still go hard by next use. They're kept in a cool dry shed.

I usually just leave a but of the silicone out the nozzle let it set then pull it out next time. Works OK.

Why is it not letting me put the links on. Notice this alot with other posters lately on boards?

sometimes after pasting you need to make sure there’s no space after the last character of link and hit return.

Thanks guys. I'd noticed that stuff, but I'd hate to use 5% of it and then find the remainder hard by next use.

I might have to revert to some sort of powdered filler. Not as handy, but less wasteful.

I have a tube of this stuff going on 25 years, I have bought newer versions over the years, but still go back to the old tube.

The current stuff is rougher and too dificult to sand.

I've had that in the past, but then everything started to come in those tubes with the handy nozzles. I got sucked into that idea too and have about 20/30 semi/hard tubes in the shed now.

Even though that's expensive for 400g of filler, I'll get one. At least I'll not be wasting the stuff because it'll be usable until empty. 👍

I'd love if they started doing half or quarter length tubes. Sure charge me more, but I'll get to finish a tube finally

Wearb · 10-04-2025 05:05PM

Yes. No matter how cheap, it just galls to see the waste
