TryC Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi All, I recently painted my doors (which had been previously stripped) with alkali resisting primer (per the instructions of using the type of paint removing paste). I have one coat on the wood work so far and will go for another coat, but I have noticed some cracks in the wood work. Can I use easifill to fill the cracks or would it be best to get a wood filler? I'm guessing painting/filling the crack with paint is not ideal! Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Nope ... go to Toolstation and get their wood filler in the small tubs. Great stuff, easy to sand and doesn’t show through paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the link. thank u! Another question, I live in an old house, and the skirting board has come away from the wall, can I use easifill to fill this gap? or is easifill only meant for filling smaller gaps?

Decorators caulk along what should be a smaller gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
