Gyprock lists a working life of around 20 minutes once mixed, with minimal shrinkage when filling small cracks and dents, and a surface that is ready to sand in around 40 minutes. Gyprock lists the powder at a specific gravity of 2.3 to 2.4 and a low VOC content, under 10 g\/L per material. The kit is made in Australia by CSR Gyprock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1kg bag of Gyprock Rapid Patch compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Gyprock plasterboard repair panels (150mm x 150mm) for larger holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGyprock Easy Tape (20 metres)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100mm broadknife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing bucket (also the kit's packaging)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: patching dents, scratches, cracks and holes in plasterboard walls and ceilings, including door-handle dings and holes left by removed fixings or fittings.\u003cbr\u003eOther substrates: the Rapid Patch compound itself is also rated by Gyprock for repairs to fibre cement, timber and masonry, and it can be used as an all-purpose compound for setting plasterboard joints. Check the substrate and the finish before using it in damp areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable materials include plasterboard (the main use of the kit), fibre cement, timber and masonry (the compound only).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemove any loose paint or crumbling material around the damage and lightly sand the edges. Mix the powder with clean water to a creamy consistency. Gyprock's guide for small repairs is about 1 cup (260g) of powder to 150mL of water. Only mix as much as you can use in around 20 minutes. For small nicks and cracks, fill with the broadknife, let it set, then sand smooth. For larger holes, cut and fit a repair panel with backing blocks fixed using the compound, cover the joins with Easy Tape, and apply compound over the tape. Let each coat set fully before the next, then sand lightly and the wall is ready to paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse clean domestic water for mixing, and wash tools before the compound sets. The kit is aimed at repairs up to 150mm x 150mm, so larger damage will need a bigger repair. You may also need a hand saw, trimming knife, pencil, dust mask and eye protection depending on the job. Store unused compound dry, out of the weather and out of direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGyprock (CSR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRapid Repair Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle kit, 1.5kg nominal (1kg Rapid Patch compound plus panels, tape and tools)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaster-based dry powder, mixed with water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand applied with the supplied broadknife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorking time (Rapid Patch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 20 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to sand (Rapid Patch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 40 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepair size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 150mm x 150mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecific gravity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 to 2.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVOC content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder 10 g\/L per material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlasterboard walls and ceilings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Australia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCutting, sanding or grinding the set material makes dust that can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, so wear a dust mask and eye protection and avoid prolonged skin contact.
