making good new sockets and wiring chased in

[richard633]

Hi - I have just chased-in some new wiring above the kitchen splashback. I now have to make good around the boxes and the finish has to be fairly good because I don't intend to tile over the lot. The socket fronts have to go down level, nice and flush on all sides etc. but I dont really want to get someone in to skim the whole wall.
Can anyone advise me of the best products and sequence? The max depth is about 40mm at some points next to the boxes - biggest area is only about 300 x 200 and only about 25mm deep.

Thanks a lot.
R

nce you have chased out everything go round with a dry brush and clean out any loose dust and crud from the holes, then go round again with a bit of diluted pva and brush that into the holes.
once you have done this and the glue has picked up a bit mix up a bit of bonding coat and bond out the chasesand other holes.
let this dry out over night then 2 coat easi fill over the top, you can sand this down to virtually nothing to make sure its perfectly featherd in.
if you take this option make sure you get the powderd easi fill that you mix up yourself not the pre mixed stuff as this shrinks tooo much and you could begoin back to it 4 or more times.
