For thicker applications or in cold or humid conditions, allow longer drying times. When painting with solvent-based paints, always allow a minimum of 24 hours regardless of application thickness. The water-based formulation means easy clean-up with water before the filler sets, and no mixing is required — it's ready to use straight from the tub. Available in 100g and 220g tubs. ⚠️ WARNING — Read the safety section before use. This product is a skin sensitiser and causes serious eye irritation.
Work Safely: This Product Is Classified WARNING Selleys No More Cracks Plaster Filler is hazardous according to the criteria of Safe Work Australia GHS 7. The signal word is Warning. It is classified as NON-Dangerous Goods. Hazard statements: CodeStatementClassificationWhat This MeansH317May cause an allergic skin reactionSkin Sensitisation Cat 1Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis. Effects may be delayed — you may not notice a reaction immediately.H319Causes serious eye irritationEye Irritation Cat 2AClassified as causing reversible effects to eyes. An eye irritant. Dust exposure may cause discomfort. If product gets in eyes, flush continuously for at least 15 minutes and transport to doctor or hospital. The product may also be an irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Key precautionary statements:
P102: Keep out of reach of children P103: Read carefully and follow all instructions P261: Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapours, or spray P264: Wash hands, face, and all exposed skin thoroughly after handling P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing including eye/face protection
Protect Yourself with the Required PPE The required personal protection equipment is: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES. Gloves: Nitrile rubber gloves should be suitable for intermittent contact. Due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, make a final assessment based on your situation. This is particularly important given the H317 skin sensitisation hazard — bare-skin contact should be avoided. Repeated or prolonged contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis, and effects may be delayed. Safety glasses: This product is classified H319 — causes serious eye irritation (Eye Irritation Category 2A). Eye protection is essential during application and especially during sanding when dust becomes airborne. Overalls and safety shoes: Full body coverage minimises skin contact with the skin sensitiser. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before storing or re-using. Engineering: Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions. Hygiene: Keep away from food, drink, and animal feeding stuffs. When using, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Wash hands, face, and all exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of dust. Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Prepare the Surface Ensure the surface to be filled is clean and dry with no loose or powdery material. This is critical for adhesion. The product has excellent adhesion on plaster when applied to a properly prepared surface. Remove any dust, flaking material, or debris from the area to be repaired.
Apply the Filler Use a filling blade or scraper to firmly press the filler in and scrape off excess — this will minimise sanding. The product is ready to use straight from the tub — no mixing required. Press firmly to ensure complete contact with all surfaces of the crack or hole. Scraping off excess flush with the surrounding surface reduces the amount of sanding needed once dry. The product has minimal shrinkage, so there is no need to overfill. Apply the filler level with the surrounding surface. If the filler has dried out in the tub: Stir with a spatula and add one teaspoon of water, then stir again to restore workability.
Drying and Sanding Times Selleys No More Cracks Plaster Filler is fast drying and easy to sand. The drying specification is: For applications less than 2mm thick: Allow 30 minutes to dry before sanding and painting with water-based paints. For thicker applications: Allow longer drying times. The product dries by water evaporation, and thicker applications require more time for moisture to escape. In cold or humid conditions: Expect longer drying times regardless of application thickness. The "sandable in 30 minutes" feature applies to thin applications under normal conditions. This means the surface has dried enough to sand smoothly without tearing or clogging the sandpaper.
Painting Over the Repair Water-based paints: For applications less than 2mm, sand after 30 minutes, then paint. For thicker applications, allow longer drying before sanding and painting. Solvent-based paints: Allow 24 hours minimum drying before painting with solvent-based paints, regardless of application thickness. This is a specific manufacturer requirement. For best results: Apply an undercoat before your top coat of paint. This creates a uniform base and ensures the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface. Sand before painting to achieve a smooth, paint-ready surface.
Clean Up Uncured product: Use water before filler sets. Clean tools with water before the filler dries — once cured, water will not dissolve it. Cured product: Remove by sanding and scraping. Disposal: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations. If possible, material and container should be recycled. Avoid contaminating waterways.
Know the Limitations
Do not use below 5°C — cold conditions prevent proper drying Do not nail — the cured filler is not designed to accept nails Interior use only — not suitable for exterior applications Not recommended for plastic or metal surfaces — designed for plaster, plasterboard, and wallboard only Where movement occurs, use Selleys No More Gaps — this filler is for static repairs; joints or cracks subject to ongoing movement require a flexible sealant
Tips for Best Results These tips come directly from the manufacturer's guidance: For applications more than 2mm deep, or in cold or humid conditions, expect longer drying times. The 30-minute sandable spec applies to thin applications (<2mm) under normal conditions. Deeper repairs and adverse conditions require patience. For best results, apply an undercoat before your top coat of paint. The repair area may have different absorption characteristics. An undercoat ensures uniform paint finish. If the filler has dried out in the tub, stir with a spatula and add one teaspoon of water, then stir again. This restores workability without compromising the product. Press filler firmly and scrape off excess. Firm application ensures good contact and adhesion. Scraping excess minimises sanding. Clean tools with water before filler sets. Once cured, removal requires sanding and scraping — prevention is much easier. Sand before painting for a smooth finish that blends with the surrounding surface.
Troubleshoot Common Problems Problem: Filler not sandable after 30 minutes The 30-minute spec applies to applications less than 2mm thick under normal conditions. Thicker applications, cold conditions, or high humidity all extend drying time. Allow longer and test a small area before sanding the full repair. Problem: Filler tears or clogs sandpaper The filler is not yet dry enough to sand. Allow more drying time and try again. The product is easy to sand when properly dried. Problem: Filler won't adhere Ensure the surface is clean and dry with no loose or powdery material. This product is designed for plaster, plasterboard, and wallboard — it is not recommended for plastic or metal surfaces. Problem: Repair cracks in a moving joint This filler is not designed for areas subject to movement. Where movement occurs, use Selleys No More Gaps instead. Problem: Filler has dried out in the tub Stir with a spatula and add one teaspoon of water, then stir again to restore workability. Problem: Need to nail into the repair Do not nail into this product. If the repair area needs to accept nails, consider an alternative filler designed for that purpose. Problem: Paint finish looks different over repair Apply an undercoat before the top coat of paint for best results. This creates a uniform base that matches surrounding surfaces.
