Application steps

APPLICATION

For filling Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste on the cracks of internal or external surface, existing POP or Sika® Wall Decor (wall putty) must be removed till plaster surface is exposed. For porous surfaces, apply primer coat prepared with Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste and water in 1:1 proportion over the crack. Fill Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste when the surface is tacky and not dried completely. Press Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste firmly into the crack with a spatula or putty knife and level with the surface. Care must be taken to avoid formation of cavities or bubbles during application. Allow it set for 24 hours and then apply another coat of Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste in case of sag or depression. Further POP or Sika® Wall Decor (wall putty) application can be taken up once it is fully dry. For best results allow Sika® Cracksil Acrylic Paste to cure for 7 days.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
