can you still get non-flexible gap filler?

Nov 10, 2003 7 Replies

Morning!



I have been fitting skirting boards in my kitchen, and have been looking for a *non-flexible* gap filler. In the past, I always just bought Decorator's Caulk from Wickes, but even that is now a "stay flexible" product.



Any ideas?

I think its called pollyfilla

Look for a product called GripFill.

Aah, but caulk used to dry smooth, whereas I always find polyfilla dries a bit rough. I never had to do any additional finishing on the caulk.

Cheers - I assume this is the stuff:

idea which sheds carry it? I don't think B&Q do. Al

Thanks - will order some later! Al

Gripfill is really for sticking things, it just happens to fill any gaps between the items to be stuck.

As Al Reynolds says you need caulk. It does exist because I saw a chippy using some to fill the gap around some new architrave only last week. When asked nicely he gave me a tube ... which I left at daugther's...
