      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 quality 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.
