to fill them ? polly filler or plaster ?

either works fine, as do several other types of filler.

Plaster goes "off", ie it'll set *very* quickly when old. A mix it
yourself powder filler is my preference. I've never got on with the
ready mixed fillers, the ones I've tried have been "gritty", a bit
dry and thus not very sticky and you have no control on the
consistency. Ready mixed also have a shelf life, dry powders don't
provided you keep 'em dry.

dry powders do have limited life oncce open, unless you seal them up
airtight


Get whatever's cheapest in the amount you need.

Sort of rules out a 25kg bag of plaster for fiver. *B-)

often does. Lugging a dirty 25kg bag about puts a lot of people off
too.
