Extended Information

Surface Preparation & Application:

• Surface must be clean, dry and free of

foreign material.

• Stir thoroughly before use.

Apply with a clean putty knife.

• One application is usually sufficient for
small repairs.  For repairs deeper than

1/4”, apply two or more layers allowing
spackling to dry between applications.

• For a smoother finish, dip putty knife

in water and lightly smooth spackling.

• Spackling will change color to white when
surface can accept a second application or

is ready to be painted or sanded in 1 to 5 hours.
Wet sanding is recommended to avoid generation
of dust.

• Clean tools immediately with water.

NOTE: To retain the effectiveness of

the dry time indicator, keep the

container tightly closed after use.

For Best Results:

• Do not apply when temperatures are below 50°F.

filler over cracks and joints where expansion and

contraction may occur.

spackling compound prior to application.
