Description
Gyprock Pro-Repair 10 is a fast-setting, plaster-based jointing and patching compound, supplied here as an 8kg bag for small jointing jobs and everyday wall and ceiling repairs. It gives you roughly ten minutes of working time once mixed, so you can fill, tape and move on without waiting for a slow-drying compound to dry. It suits tradies, renovators and keen DIYers who want quick results.
About the formula
Pro-Repair 10 is a lightweight, low-VOC powder that you mix with water. It is a setting compound, so it hardens by chemical reaction rather than by evaporation. It is tinted so repairs are easy to spot on painted surfaces. It is designed to stick well to jointing tape, to shrink very little, and to sand easily as a topcoat. You can use it for every coat of a three-coat joint or as a base coat only. If you use it for all three coats with an open-weave fibreglass tape such as FibaFuse, you can sand the topcoat on the same day once it has dried enough. It is made in Australia by CSR Gyprock.
Where to use it
Indoors: patching holes, nicks, cracks and other defects in new and existing plasterboard walls and ceilings, and jointing smaller residential or commercial rooms.
Fibre cement: suitable for repairs and jointing on Cemintel fibre cement sheet as well as Gyprock plasterboard.
Suitable surfaces are Gyprock plasterboard and fibre cement. It is not recommended for wet areas.
How to use it
Start with a clean, dust-free surface. Tear the bag open at a top corner and mix with clean water as directed on the pack. Because the working time is short, mix only as much as you can use in one go. Apply by hand with a knife or similar tool. Embed the jointing tape in the base coat, then add further coats as needed. Let the compound dry fully, then sand the topcoat smooth before you prime and paint. Throw away any mixed compound you have not used. Keep unused powder in its original bag with the top rolled down, inside an airtight container.
Important notes
Pro-Repair 10 is a setting compound, so you cannot rework it once it has started to set. Do not add water to extend the working time. It is not recommended for wet areas. Shelf life is one year from the date of manufacture, so store the bag somewhere dry and out of the weather and direct sun. Allow enough drying time before sanding, even when you are finishing the job on the same day.

Safety
Dust can irritate the eyes and may aggravate existing eye conditions, so avoid breathing dust and avoid eye contact and prolonged skin contact. Wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when mixing and sanding. In case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with running water for 15 minutes with the eyelids held open. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.
