What's the best patching plaster for DIY use?

Post by pjontheroadagain »

Could anyone recommend the best patching plaster suitable for DIY use, pls?

I'm repairing large-ish cracks in walls, and have raked out the old plaster.

I'd prefer something in powder form, so I can mix up quantities as I need them, rather than the pre-mixed.

I'd previously been recommended Gyprock but I can't seem to find any suppliers.

Thank you!

I use toupret filler, it doesn’t slump or shrink and is easy to sand.
They do a fast set version as well if you need to get a job done on the quick
