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
