Gyproc EasiFill 60 10kg Bag: Advanced Plasterboard Jointing and Repair Compound
Gyproc EasiFill 60 is a high-performance, gypsum-based jointing compound from British Gypsum, specifically formulated to offer the benefits of both setting and air-drying characteristics. Supplied in a convenient 10kg bag, it's a versatile solution for all stages of plasterboard jointing, as well as for general repairs, patching, and pre-filling on internal walls and ceilings. Its balanced properties make it an indispensable choice for professional dryliners and general contractors who demand speed, reliability, and a superior finish.
Features
- Combined Setting & Air-Drying: This unique formulation allows for a rapid initial set (approximately 75 minutes), enabling faster application of subsequent coats, while also benefiting from the ease of sanding typically associated with air-drying compounds once fully cured.
- 60-Minute Working Time: Offers a generous 60-minute working window, providing ample time for precise mixing, application, and embedding of jointing tapes without rushing.
- Dual-Purpose (Filler & Finish): Versatile enough for both bulk filling of gaps, holes, and the first coat of jointing, as well as for achieving a smooth, fine finish ready for decoration.
- High Coverage Rate: Engineered for efficient material use, providing excellent coverage that can often achieve a finished joint in just two applications (bedding coat + final feathering coat), saving time and material.
- Minimal Drying Shrinkage: Formulated to exhibit very low shrinkage as it dries, significantly reducing the risk of cracks and ensuring a consistently flat and durable surface over time.
- Easy to Mix, Apply & Sand: The powder mixes readily with water to form a smooth, creamy, and workable paste that spreads effortlessly. Once dry, it sands down with minimal effort to a very smooth, paint-ready finish.
- Versatile Application Methods: Suitable for traditional hand application using jointing knives, and also compatible with quick-release mechanical jointing tools for enhanced efficiency on larger projects.
- Strong Bond: Provides excellent adhesion to plasterboard surfaces, ensuring secure and long-lasting joints and repairs.
- Lightweight 10kg Bag: A practical and manageable size for transport, handling, and storage on job sites.
