It was the sandblasting that put the plaster in such a bad state

Another sanding option that occurred to me, a sanding drum in an
angle drill, to create something akin to a powered abrasive roller.


It may be because I'd assumed TNP was using a lightweight filler
but I'm hearing a distant cockney voice saying something about only
blowing the doors off

polyfilla is currently in use.

I find the filler designed for filling taper edge boards is *much*
easier to sand nicely (and quickly) than polyfiller.


Yes, with that much ceiling and such wide holes I'd assumed something
easier to sand - and also cheaper.Â*Â* My last buy was 5kg Gyproc
Easi-Fill 20 for about £13.



Tried that. Harder to sand than polyfilla, and a similar price


The last one I used was IIRC:

https://www.wickes.co.uk/Knauf-Joint...-10kg/p/224541

That sanded very easily and quickly.
