• A smoother, easier‑to‑sand finish with less effort.

It can be used on a wide range of common building substrates, including:

• Plaster and plasterboard,
• Brick, block and stone,
• Concrete and render,
• Wood (primed/painted or bare, sound timber).

One Strike is particularly useful for:

• Filling deep holes from rawlplugs and fixings,
• Repairing damaged corners and edges,
• Skimming over minor surface imperfections before painting, and
• Preparing walls and ceilings for decoration and redecoration.

Once fully dry, the filler can be sanded, drilled, nailed and screwed into (depending on substrate),
and is suitable for over‑painting with most emulsion and solvent‑based paints
(always test sensitive finishes first). the faithfull builders pencil features a durable design that ensures precision and reliability for your measuring needs. This essential tool is perfect for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, making it a versatile addition to any toolbox. With its easy-to-read markings, it helps create accurate outlines and measurements on various surfaces.

Typical Use Cases

• Interior wall repairs – filling cracks, chips, dents and deep holes in plaster and plasterboard in one go.
• Ceiling repairs – fixing old light fixing holes, cracks around coving and other damage without sagging.
• Pre‑decoration prep – smoothing and levelling surfaces prior to painting or wallpapering.
• Repairing around sockets and switches – patching chases and gaps around electrical accessories.
• General maintenance – quick, clean repairs in homes, offices, schools, hotels and commercial buildings.

Application & Preparation

• Surface preparation:
  • Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, loose material, grease and wallpaper paste.
  • Remove all loose or flaking paint and plaster; back to a firm edge.
  • Highly glossy or non‑porous surfaces should be lightly abraded and dust removed.
• Application:
  • Stir gently if required. Using a filling knife or spatula, apply One Strike Filler
    directly to the repair area.
  • Press firmly into the hole or crack to ensure good contact with the substrate.
  • Build slightly proud of the surface if necessary, then smooth off with a wide knife or trowel.
  • For very deep holes, ensure the filler is worked well into the back of the cavity.
• Drying & sanding:
  • Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding or over‑coating. Shallow repairs can often be
    over‑painted in around 30–60 minutes; deeper fills will take longer.
  • Once dry, sand lightly with fine abrasive paper to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
• Over‑painting:
  • When fully dry and sanded, One Strike can be painted with most emulsion and solvent‑based paints.
  • On very porous backgrounds or where a high‑end finish is required, consider using a suitable
    primer or mist coat before final decoration.
• Clean‑up:
  • Clean tools immediately after use with warm soapy water.
  • Close the tub lid firmly after use to prevent premature drying.

Frequently Asked Questions – Everbuild One Strike Filler

1. How deep can I fill in one go with One Strike Filler?

Everbuild One Strike is designed for deep fills in a single application. In most typical
domestic repairs, you can fill common plug holes, large cracks and small chases in one pass without
slumping or significant shrinkage. For very large or exceptionally deep voids:

• Ensure the filler is well compacted into the cavity, and
• Consider filling in two stages if advised by the Everbuild TDS for extreme depths.

2. Can I use One Strike Filler outside?

One Strike is primarily formulated for interior use, but may be suitable for some
sheltered external applications when over‑painted with a suitable external‑grade coating.
It is not intended for:

• Constantly wet or submerged areas, or
• Unprotected external exposure without a coating.

Always check the latest Everbuild TDS for external use limitations.

3. How long do I need to wait before painting over One Strike Filler?

Drying time depends on:

• Depth and size of the repair,
• Temperature and humidity of the environment, and
• Air circulation.

Small, shallow repairs can often be over‑painted in around 30–60 minutes at ~20 °C.
Deeper or larger fills will take longer – always ensure the filler is fully dry throughout
before painting.

4. Do I need to prime One Strike Filler before painting?

For most standard emulsion paints on internal walls and ceilings, you can usually paint
directly onto the dried filler. However:

• Porous areas may benefit from a mist coat or primer to equalise suction and avoid flashing.
• For specialist paints or problem substrates, follow the paint manufacturer’s advice.

5. Can I screw or nail into Everbuild One Strike Filler?

Once fully cured, One Strike can accept light fixings (e.g. small screws or nails) in some situations,
especially if backed by a solid substrate. However:

• For heavier loads, always ensure the fixing penetrates into the underlying solid substrate (e.g. brick, stud, plug), not just the filler.
• Do not rely on filler alone for safety‑critical fixings.

6. Common Uses & How to Use Everbuild One Strike Filler

Common Uses:

• Filling old screw and plug holes in plasterboard and masonry.
• Repairing cracks and chips in walls and ceilings before painting.
• Patch‑repairing chases for cables and pipes after first‑fix work.
• Levelling small surface defects in masonry and plaster.
• General maintenance repairs in homes, offices and commercial buildings.

How to Use – Step‑by‑Step:

1. Prepare the area by removing loose material, dust and flaking paint. Ensure the surface is sound and dry.
2. Open the tub and, if necessary, stir the filler lightly to an even consistency.
3. Using a filling knife or spatula, apply One Strike Filler into the hole or crack, pressing firmly to ensure good adhesion.
4. Build up the filler slightly proud of the surface, then smooth off flush with the surrounding area.
5. Allow to dry fully. Light fills may be ready to sand and paint in as little as 30–60 minutes; deeper areas will need longer.
6. Sand lightly to a smooth finish, remove dust and then apply your chosen paint or finish.
