Sahara Filler is a high-quality wall and wood filler used to create smooth, crack-free surfaces on both interior and exterior walls, ceilings, and wooden surfaces before painting. It is primarily a skimming and joint filler product.
Key Applications
The primary uses of Sahara Filler include:
Wall Skimming: It is widely used to apply a thin "skim coat" over rough or uneven walls and ceilings, transforming them into flat, uniform surfaces ready for painting or re-texturing.
Filling Cracks and Holes: It effectively fills minor dents, cracks, and holes in plastered surfaces, concrete, and wood.
Jointing Gypsum Boards: It can be used for filling the joints between gypsum or drywall boards, although some users recommend applying a coat of a different, more specialized filler (like Gyproc filler) for the first coat in a multi-stage process.
Enhancing Adhesion: Using the filler helps to enhance paint adhesion to the surface, ensuring a more professional and longer-lasting paint finish.
Woodwork: The "Sahara Wood Filler & Skim Coat" variant is specifically designed for use on wooden surfaces like furniture, doors, and panels.
