I'm using a Fix-fix type wall starter system and would like to know which compressible filler I should use to bridge the gap between the old and new masonry. I am referring to what sits behind the external polysulphide mastic sealant.

I'm aware of the Aerosil brand in this area but they've got so many different products and no proper selection charts that I'm wasting time searching. Could someone please suggest a specific Aerosil product or similar from another manufacturer?

FYI, I'm using 215mm solid masonry construction with thermalite blocks which adjoin to existing roughcast render at the Fir-fix tie.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Morning Chris

Can't help I'm afraid but you might try posting on The Wood Haven.

Cheers
