Sika One Strike Multi-Purpose Quick-Drying Filler, White, 2.5 Litre

I’m a newb at plastering. I read the product reviews for this and went for it. The reviews are true. The product went on easy and a small amount goes a long way. The bucket is light but filled well. So it’s super easy to carry around while working. It dries quickly, as I said I’m new so left it to dry for a few hours before I sanded to be safe but it was touch dry in 30 mins. I plastered over plaster board on my new under stair storage, as it’s in a Georgian house I wanted to blend the walls to stay in keeping with the rest of the house. I easily achieved this. I also got this in my carpet because I’m a plonker and it hoovered straight out with the hand brush. It’s more putty like then paste so it’s easy to pick up and doesn’t sink into fabrics. It’s been a week now and it’s stayed on and looks great. I highly recommend this product, especially for beginners like me.

I love Everbuild ONE2 One Strike Multi-Purpose Ready To Use Filler. It’s incredibly easy to use and sands down nicely, making finishing jobs quick and hassle-free. A quick stir in the tub before using it and it goes lovely and creamy, spreading smoothly with no effort. It fills well, dries nicely, and gives a great finish. An added bonus is that it’s available in larger quantities like this one, which works out much better value for money — ideal if you use filler regularly. Overall, a fantastic, reliable filler that I keep coming back to. Highly recommended.

Overall I really quite like this filler and can see where it would be particularly useful, especially if you're a tradesman (other than a plasterer) who may need to quickly deal with a wide array of small issues without them being absolutely perfect. Where I'm going to disagree with other reviewers, is that it sets "rock hard".... it just doesn't, it remains a little bit spongy no matter how long you leave it to set... but that's kind of the point. For reference, I cleaned up a ~2cm deep and 4-5cm wide cable hole in my crappy old plaster left by an SDS drill and a couple of weeks later it's still got some give. Where this product works well is for quickly filling up deep holes in fewer stages, and for fixing thin cracks (i.e. settling/movement). The reason for both of these use cases is, as others have mentioned, the spongy/foamy texture. The lightweight consistency of the filler means that it seems to hold it's shape without sagging and the spongy nature means that it can potentially soak up more movement in the surrounding structure without cracking. If you are filling in small imperfections in preparation for painting/papering, then a thin layer will mean the texture is likely to be of negligible impact, and it does sand down to a nice flat surface. If you are sanding, make sure to use a finer grade of paper, as coarse paper will "rip" chunks of the filler off. If you're filling in the void between a backbox and the wall, then slap it in, smooth it off, and as long as the socket/switch covers the majority of the filler, you will probably find this product to be superb for the purpose. If it's a deeper hole on a wall caused by damage or old crumbly plaster, then although this is good for getting the bulk of the cavity filled and it does set quite quickly even when applied thick, it might be worth considering sanding back a little under flush and doing a final skim with something that does set hard. Final recommendation for usage of this product: Make sure to give the filler a good stir before you use it. In a lot of cases around the home if you want to keep a single tub premix around for odd jobs, I would probably look towards Everbuild "deep gap" filler. It's a much heavier filler and in some jobs might need to be used in more stages, but can do basically everything this product does whilst setting much harder. If you are redecorating a room or two without getting a full skim, you won't go wrong with a tub of "One Strike" largely because it sets so quickly and a little seems to go a long way.

This stuff is amazing. Like others have said the box was unbelievably light for the size of the tub. Tub has a nice tight seal so no worries of it drying out. On opening it looks like fresh whipped cream. Tried it out on a smaller patch first and couldn't believe how easy it is to use, goes on so smooth and how quick it dried. I also used it in layers for a channel that had been chiseled out for electrics, only took half a day to fill and sand ready for decorating. I honestly can't say enough about it. Definitely worth a try. I'll be buying again when the tub runs out!

I originally bought this for some jobs around the house, but it’s actually become a staple for my miniature dioramas. It has a great texture and consistency—really easy to work with and, thankfully, no horrible chemical smell. It dries quickly and honestly goes a long way, so it’s great value for money. Whether you’re filling a gap in a skirting board or using it for a model, this stuff is brilliant. Highly recommend!

Surprisingly good! I've used many different fillers over the years and despite it being very lightweight, found this to be great stuff. It is very smooth and doesn't shrink back when drying out. It sands nicely and provides a perfect finish for undercoat. I've bought more already and this will now be my go to filler!

Useful and easy to use. Goes on easily and smooths those cracks quickly.

I've used this product several times now for modelling diorama bases, large and small, and it woks fine, no cracking and dries fairly quickly and stays light weight. However, I wouldn't use it around the house again. I say this as the product doesn't dry as quickly in larger gaps/holes......And does crack......Also leaves a powdery finish, which is not great for painting over. For modelling though, it's great for my needs.
