Toupret Murex Filler

[@TheGaffferrrr]

Really nice job there! I once made the error with that stuff thinking I could rub it down. Stuff was a nightmare. Lesson learnt

[@danielnugent2168]

Hahha. Same as. Its impossible lol. Cheers for watching

[@orbitalforest]

Nice repair that Daniel.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Thankyou mate

[@tonyalways7174]

Great job mate. Thanks for the tip I’m gonna give it a go. Cheers 👍🏻

[@samtemple3182]

I wish I’d watched this before ordering a stipple brush. Great tip 👍🏻

[@danielnugent2168]

Many thanks mate

[@TheWESTSIDE1967]

Can just use a mini roller to achieve the slight stipple

[@Oldskooladdict93]

Thanks for the video, loving the stippling, I was wondering how I'd get the right texture for what I have to do. Have you tried the Fibarex - claims to also set rock hard but able to sand and use as a light skim - sounds to good to be true that it can do all three!

[@scrollop]

Thank you for making this video. How much water are you supposed to use with the powder? I can’t understand the picture instructions (is it for every 2kg of powder add 0.9 litres of water)? Thank you

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

I always put the powder in first and use like an ice cream size tub then keep adding a touch of water until it's a nice consistency and not to sloppy. Cheers Dan

1st class keep them coming

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Will do mate. Many thanks

[@itsjustme9179]

Could this be used on a rough render that has had patches scraped off and sanded? Im trying to get the same effect instead of having smooth patches

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

@@itsjustme9179 yes but seal it after with stabiliser or even zinssr BIN Aqua

Hola buenas tardes desde EspañA 🇪🇸 ¿podría usar Murex para reparar las grietas de una Balaustrada con columnas redondas y aplicarlo con las manos para introducir el producto en dichas grietas?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Hi. It's hard make out what your saying as I don't speak Spanish and it's not translated but Hola and Gracias Amigo

[@CryptoBoon]

Great video, I’ll definitely give this a go... what sort of ladders do you use mate, I see you have a triple pair? Thanks

[@danielnugent2168]

Hi. I got them from ladder store online. Triple 12 step. I think it was an EN with a number after it. Cheers Dan

[@TheWESTSIDE1967]

Toupret do a cement based filler that can be rubbed down but you can get smooth with a wet brush & it has a finish the same as the render

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Yeah that stuff is great. Touprelith F. All of Toupret range is fantastic. I love the wood repair by them too

[@ratchriat1716]

with all the cracks and the movement is best to use the the expanding foam to get a secure fixe.

[@danielnugent2168]

This filler sets like rock. If you try it out you will be amazed as you can't even rub it down. Cheers for watching the vids.

[@andrewb666]

Great stuff

[@danielnugent2168]

Cheers mate

[@jfomyt]

Daniel, did you use Murex on the other cracks on the wall? Does it work well on cracks, say, 6mm wide and deep? They are currently filled with caulk but it's not holding. Thanks.

[@danielnugent2168]

Hi mate. This will hold but smooth it off before it sets as its rock hard and almost impossible to rub down. Another good product for cracks that come back or if you need a flexible filler is Toupret Fibacryl. Again smooth off as it dries like a rubber and can't be rubbed down. I usually put this in first and fill over it with normal filler if cracks reappear. Cheers Dan

[@jackwardley3626]

have you tried the owatrol E-B primer as a stabiliser

[@danielnugent2168]

No not yet. I'll have to look that up. Cheers Dan

[@billybob7522]

Is this ok to use on narrower cracks than the ones shown in your video?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Hi. Yes but always make sure to smooth it off or texture it as once dries it's like rock. Impossible to rub down

[@billybob7522]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Thanks Daniel. Once I've finished the repairs I will be repainting the outside of the house with Sandtex pure brilliant white. Would you recommend the ultra smooth or the fine textured finish? I know the coverage of the ultra smooth is 12-16 sqm whereas the fine textured is just 6 sqm. The existing paint on the house is so worn out that I can't tell what it's meant to be! I'd be grateful for some advice.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

@@billybob7522 smooth is what I usually use. Fine texture is for uneven surfaces etc or if you need a bit of texture back. Most of the time I use smooth.

[@billybob7522]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Hi Daniel, as you say this filler goes rock hard when it dries. So if the same cracks open back up say after 5 years or so how easy is it to scrape out of the cracks so that you can refill with fresh filler? If it's too hard to remove would it not be better to use standard exterior filler like Polyfilla for example?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

@@billybob7522 it should be fine as any cracks open you can rake out or chop out and re apply

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

Is this gear waterproof?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Yes very much so. Cheers Dan

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Cheers fella 👍

[@markjarman7819]

Is that not lime rendered.

[@danielnugent2168]

No this house was done in sand and cement render. It was renovated a few years ago. It should of been done in lime as its a timber framed house but whoever painted it originally did it in sandtex so that's what the customer wanted. I've done natural lime before and used Earthborn Silicate paint which let's the walls breath.

[@jackwardley3626]

this murex gear does crack on brick rendered house let alone timber framed may as well go back to sand and cement for repairs all the over priced exterior fillers all crack bag of sand and cement 15 quid and probs last a couple years compared to £100's in a year on exterior filler that isn't as good

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

That's a great idea. What about a ready mixed mortar

[@jackwardley3626]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 yeah i guess that would be ok but traditional sand and cement would still work out a lot cheaper i normally mix 3:1 or 2:1 with sharp sand not builders sand sharp sand last longer store it in 5 litre containers
