DEPKA advantages
Easy to repair
On a painted wall, a small scratch often means repainting the whole wall. With cotton plaster, you only need to wet that area and smooth it out.
Reshaped with water
Even once dry, DEPKA cotton wall plaster can be softened again with water. When you wet an area that has been knocked, scratched or scribbled on with a pen, the product turns back into a paste and can be smoothed with a trowel.
Because the colour is in the product itself, the repaired area cannot be told apart from its surroundings once it has dried; there is no touch-up difference as there is with paint.

Major damage or heavy soiling

When it comes in handy
Socket and wiring changes
Once the wall has been opened up, only that area needs repairing.
Knocks and scratches
Knocks from furniture and scratch marks are easy to put right.
Scribbles and stains
Pen marks and stains are removed in the same way.
Set some product aside for future repairs
After application, keep a little dry product of the same colour code in its sealed packaging, somewhere dry and well ventilated. An unopened pack can be stored for a long time, so the same product is to hand whenever a repair is needed.
About repairs
Will the repaired area show?
No. Because the colour is in the product itself, there is no touch-up difference once it has dried, as there would be with paint.
Do I need a professional for repairs?
You can do small repairs yourself with clean water and a flat trowel or a piece of plastic.
How do I fix a wall that has been scribbled on with a pen?
Wet the area with the pen mark, wait a little and smooth it with a flat trowel. If the mark goes deep, wet that piece and remove it, then fill the gap with cotton plaster in the same colour.
