I am presently emulsioning ( white V/Matt) newly plasterboarded walls in my
bathroom and having a slight problem with the joins where I used Gyproc Joint
Filer which dries a sort of beige/cream colour . ...It takes a fair bit to get
to the stage where it stops showing through .
Is there a product that I can use to put on as the first coat to kill the filler
showing through .?

Wherever you paint two different surfaces side by side (paper and filler in
this case) you are going to get a visible joint, the only way I have found
around this is to seal the wall first with silk vinyl, which gets a 'skin'
over it, or oil based paint, which costs a fortune.

You MIGHT try a white acrylic wood primer thinned down a bit.

Or even just lightly brushed (I tried it, it works)
