As someone who is a tried and true medium across my favorite brands, I was just on the borderline of both sizes and completely unsure which would fit better. Having received both a S/M and L/XL from the Skims team, I must say that both sizes fit me quite well (and to be honest, there didn't seem to be much difference between the two). The sizing is more flexible than you'd think Sanding is relatively easy too and the flexibility and high adhesion of this product means repairs will always last.The bodysuit appears smaller off the body, but once on, it molds to your body in a supportive, yet non restrictive way. You will not be able to achieve a flatter, smoother finish with any other product. Although it does have these limitations, this is a fantastic product. The cure time for Toupret skimcoat is around 24 hours and you can’t use it for blemishes over 5mm deep. You would normally use Skimcoat to surface fill and because of its consistency, you can spread a very thin layer over large areas of stonework with ease. This is exceptionally smooth and easy to work with. Toupret Skimcoat filler comes in ready mixed and as a powder.

Toupret Toupthlith-F stays porous and seems to draw moisture out of its surrounding substrate long after the repair has been made. It doesn’t set very hard at all and if the repair becomes wet again, it can turn to mush. There are a lot more negatives about Toupthlith-F than positives I’m afraid. Toupthlith-F is easy to sand too, which is refreshing. Toupret Toupthlith-F can be used to fill any depth within reason and it is quick drying, especially on a hot day.

Overall, despite the drying times and not being able to sand the stuff, Toupret Murex is by far my favorite exterior masonry filler. One tip is to carry out your sanding before the filler has had time to properly cure. Sometimes you come across repairs as you’re painting, and you have to come away from the job while the filler dries.Īnother negative is how bloody difficult it is to sand down!! As previously mentioned, it dries like rock!! This is great for longevity and I suppose the sanding is a small price to pay, but if you are using it, just be careful not to overfill. You can’t paint over it on the same day as you make the repair! Most of the time you can plan around it and do your filling the day before you plan to paint. The first is it has 24-hour curing time which can be a right pain. There are a couple of negative things to say about Toupret Rock Solid Repair filler. It dries absolutely rock solid!! Because of how stable and dense it is and how well it adheres, you know any repair is going to last years, often longer than the masonry around the repair! Another party trick is there is no flashing, meaning after you’ve painted your masonry, you won’t be able to see where your repair is. Mixing is very easy, and you end up with a silky-smooth consistency.Ī nice loose mix is perfect for surface imperfections, or a stiffer mix for deeper holes.
