Where can I buy spackle ?

[flanajb]

I have a Fine Woodworking book and they use Spackle for filling MDF ends or routed sections. I have not heard of Spackle here in the UK and wondered what other forumites use.

Thanks

I think Spackle is american Polyfilla - just do a search on here for mdf finishing and you will find many methods for curing the fluffy ends on mdf.

According to a Mr. Bill Bryson it's American for Polyfilla! :wink:

When I've heard/seen it used on US TV programs it's drywall jointing compound. http://www.wickes.co.uk/jointing-compound/invt/220995/ is what I've used in the past.
