My client opted for a smooth finish, with no grain showing, to match the MDF units that I’m decorating in the same room. This is the first phase of the process.

It’s essential to seal raw MDF edges when painting doors/cabinet doors/media units because failing to do so will result in the finish feeling like sandpaper. The paint will continue to be sucked into the raw edge. Here I’m using Prestonette filler. It spreads like butter & sands down with ease.

Here I’m repairing this plaster skirting profile. A void that is repaired with Rock Solid filler. This is the first phase of the repair. The objective is to build the profile to match the existing - which will be perfected on the next stage.

The secret here is to let the filler slightly go off, therefore making it more easier to create that sharp line & resist gravity by not sagging - being that it’s a repair with no support underneath. I used Tourpret Murex for its incredible strength. Finer fill to follow.
