Depends on the putty materials. Usually filler putty is just for filling any small holes or cracks, it's not meant to repair, it's just for anesthetics purposes. No strength

White cement is well white colored cement. If mixed with water with proper water cement ratio, it will be as strong as normal cement cube. You can even mix with clean sand to make mortar and gravel to make concrete just like a regular grey cement.

So. It's just a regular cement as what grey does?

different function.
putty filler as the name implies are used more as a filler to fill the gaps.
where white cement usually people used when they want to make the wall texture to be smooth, it need a lot of work cause you need to do alot of skimming after applying it

Oh, so white cement could be used for coating or skimming? But can it apply on Plaster Board like Plaster Ceiling?
Besides, the Filler Putty can't function as coating and skimming surface (Plaster Ceiling or Board)?

Appreciate your kind reply!
I'm new, and normally grabbed those PYE Filler powder to fill-up some holes and cracks on Plaster Ceiling (Toilet). I know nothing about Coating or Skimming products! So just thinking of whether the PYE Filler Powder could be used as Coating or Skimming product? Or, it's different material?

i think PYE is for skimming on cemented wall and those flaxi for partition/plaster ceiling board..i think diff material as those pye if already harden u can soften it back using water if not mistaken..flaxi cannot.

Oh...so, Flaxi is White Cement, which is Cement, once got Hard, it fixed, unless drill or hammer to break it?
