For a Smoother Finish
For a smoother finish, dip putty knife into water & lightly smooth spackling prior to drying.
Achieve a Smooth Finished Repair
Dual-grit sanding using medium (60 to 100-grit) and finishing with fine (120 to 220-grit) sandpaper will help achieve a smooth finished repair.
Best Application Experience
Using a flexible putty knife will provide the best application experience when applying spackling compound.
Better Adhesion to Drywall
De-gloss surface with sandpaper for better adhesion to the drywall.
Overfill the Repair Slightly
Overfill the repair slightly when applying so you can sand it down to a smooth, flat finish when dry.
Create a Smooth Surface
Use the back of a putty knife to knock down any rough edges of the repair to create a smooth surface.
Surface must be clean, dry & free of foreign material. | Apply with a clean putty knife. | One application is usually sufficient for small repairs | For repairs deeper than 1/8”, apply 2 or more layers allowing to dry between applications. | May be sanded or painted in 1 to 5 hours depending on temperature, humidity & depth of fill.
