• Brick
• Stone.

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.

For Best Results:

• Do not apply when temperatures are below 50°F.
• Do not apply outside if rain is expected within 24 hours.
• Do not use on floors or as a caulk, sealant or joint filler over cracks and joints where expansion and contraction may occur.
• DO NOT USE AS A SKIM COAT.
• For exterior applications, always topcoat with a good quality exterior grade paint.
• If a textured finish is desired, add clean sand to spackling compound prior to application.
• Do not use for tuck pointing applications on brick
• For larger areas to be patched on bare concrete, use a latex fortified Portland cement-based dry mix.
