Best filler for screw holes in weather boards?
Have a few small screw holes in my weatherboards from previous wall lights. What’s the best filler you guys recommend to patch them up with?

Norski 2 part epoxy filler stuff is pretty decent. But you could also just squirt some sika MS in them.

I used Contract Filler on mine based on the advice from the Mitre10 guy

Pal contract filler. Way less hassle than builders bog if you’re not in a big hurry.
Thanks, regarding the not in a big hurry part is that because of time it takes to dry?
Yes, by memory it’s next day, but you can paint it over sooner usually. Builders fill maybe 20 min but it’s very chemical and messy to work with.
You can usually paint within the hour. On very sunny days, I’ve seen it dry in 15 mins. Only stuff I’ve used that needed a day was the 2 part norski epoxy filler. Contract filler will be ample for screw holes
Awesome cheers, will give that a go!
Depends on thickness, but filling brads on trim etc, I can sand within an hour and prime after that. But that's in Auckland temperatures.
Much much better than that poxy sellys
