Joint compound or polyfilla for flaky paint.

Post by steveburns04 » Fri May 22, 2020 12:55 pm

Hello

I recently removed a lot of wallpaper from a house I just bought. There are some bits of cracked paint underneath the wallpaper. I saw a video that showed how to manage them, and the person said to use joint compound after sanding the area down. However I have found it very difficult to find during this pandemic (sold it in most places). Can I just use polyfilla instead? If not, why is this?

Many thanks!
