Surface Preparation & Application:
Surface must be clean, dry and free of foreign material.
Mix gently before use.
Using a clean putty knife, press spackling into hole or crack. Draw blade firmly across the surface to
remove excess material in one strike.
For a smoother finish, dip putty knife into water and lightly smooth spackling.
One coat should be sufficient for small repairs
May be painted within minutes with a latex paint. Please follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for
application.
If sanding is desired, or if an oil-based paint is to be used, allow to dry thoroughly (approximately 24
hours).
Clean tools immediately with water.
For Best Results:
Do not apply when temperatures are below 40°F.

For exterior application, first apply exterior-grade primer, then apply spackling and finish with coating
of quality exterior-grade paint.
