Hello!

I'm going to lay new flooring in the apartment. Removed the molding and this is what it looked like afterwards. Just crumbled apart. I have medium coarse and fine filler at home (a few liters). Does it work to use, or is there something else recommended?

Best regards,

Niklas

Casco Husfix?
Also available as rapid (fast-drying) if you're in a hurry..
 
Thanks, no rush now. I was thinking of nailing the moldings with 1.2x32mm nails. If I used the filler (I want to try to get rid of it), would the nail hold in it?
 
Ordinary filler is difficult to use in such thick layers as here.

For example, Casco Husfix can be screwed into.
 
Husfix is cement-based as opposed to regular putty and becomes much more suitable when the holes are that deep.
 
You are absolutely right, it always settles too, so you have to plaster twice. Thanks for the response.
 
I would have stocked up on something that doesn't cost 89 kronor for 750 grams.
 
Okay, what would that be then?? Suggestions
 
Gypsum - Gypsum or Finjas... You can get 25 kilos for just over 300 bucks..
You should be able to attach the list easily with a couple of strings of construction adhesive and a few nails.

If you're up for crawling out to Älvsjö/Fruängen, I have half a sack in the car you can have! I'll throw in a splash of primer too if, as you say, it's just crumbling.

Yup, I would have chosen gipsbruk too

Wouldn't it be nice to have something like dyckert (or T-dyckert as TS wants to use) that you can both nail into and that also pulls a little. A material that, when dried/cured, might more resemble something like cement board or so.
 
Husfix is probably better. I just think it's unreasonably expensive in comparison.
 
I always attach lists to concrete with steel nails using the concrete nail gun, and I find that it holds like crazy. Otherwise, a bit of PL400 and angling in regular nails works well to keep everything in place.

The downside of husfix, as I see it, is that it's extremely expensive - Then if you get an uneven surface, there's not much you can do to make it even. The gypsum plaster can be easily scraped off with a spatula once it has hardened to achieve the surface you desire. Followed by sand putty if the surface is to be painted.

An acquaintance chipped away the tiles in his kitchen and repaired the damage with husfix - Had to rent a diamond grinder to get it even enough for tiles. ;)

If it's in a basement below ground, outdoors, or similar, there's no doubt that husfix is a good product - But indoors in an apartment behind a baseboard? Well...
 
There are cheaper products in terms of price per kilo than Casco Husfix, but you don't need 25 kg here..
That's exactly why packaging sizes of 750 g exist.
