I am removing some wooden shelves and the metal rails on which brackets supporting the shelves were fitted.
Once everything is off the wall, this of course will leave a neat grid of holes from where the screws supporting the rails have been removed.
So I was wondering what would be the best material a DIY novice could buy in somewhere like Homebase to stuff in these holes so that after drying it can easily be sanded flat.
The filler needs to dry fairly hard, but not so tough and "plasticy" (for want of a better word) that it's next to impossible to sand flat without at the same time scouring and wrecking the surrounding plaster surface.
I don't really want to be mixing my own plaster, although that might be the simplest approach for a pro.
