I'm designing a dio at the moment and wanted to use wall filler for something. Was just wondering if i can use Klear (Future) to seal the filler after it has dried?
Anyone know?

cannot see why not. May take a few coats though as plaster soaks everything up like a very thirsty thing. I would use watered down, not too thin, PVA as it gives a great surface to then stick the scatter material to. However, Klear would be best for the finished item but remember it is glossy so a matt spray would be required.

Hi flounder , Graham has made some good points , being an ex-decorator filler can be a pain to seal , anything water based will just get sucked in leaving it patchy no matter how many coats you give it , if it was me I would give it 2 coats of oil based or enamel paint , when in the trade we used to cover filler with oil based undercoat to get a top finnish .
Hope this helps

Cheers for the info Graham. I'm not actually going to be sticking scatter to it and i need the surface to look glossy hence why i asked about klear. But if the pva gives a glossy finish then that might work.\ said:
Can pva be painted over with enamels/acrylics?

Not only can PVA be painted over but it can have acrylic paint mixed into it to colour it.
