as a gap filler or for spcakling
Explanation:
both terms were found in my technical dictionary and spackling, in particular, refers to the type of work described in the text: "The process of repairing a part of a plaster wall or mural by patching it with a plastering material"

crack filling and surface repairs


Explanation:
Hi
As far as I can see (I checked Mapei) this type of mortar is used for filling cracks in concrete castings, bonding fresh castings to mature castings (I point this to "riprese"), and repairing surface imperfections (which would be "rappezzi").
