Applications
Wondertex Prem Filler is an essential product for drylining professionals and plasterers in various applications:
- Bedding and Filling Tapered Edge Plasterboard Joints: The primary use, where it's applied to the joint trough, tape is embedded, and then covered with another layer to create a seamless joint.
- Bedding External Metal Angle Beads: Used to securely fix and cover metal corner beads, ensuring strong and sharp external corners.
- Bedding Internal Corner Tapes: For creating clean and durable internal angles in plasterboard installations.
- Repairing Minor Plasterboard Damage: Can be used to fill deeper indentations and small areas of damaged plasterboard before finishing. (For extensive damage, a patch of new board is recommended).
