Stopgap 1400 - High Flow Smoothing Compound

Pour the mixed material onto the prepared substrate and allow to flow and attain a smooth finish.

Minimal work with a smoothing trowel is

required. A spiked roller should be used to eliminate entrapped air and smooth out flow lines to give a more uniform surface appearance. The mixed material should be applied at a thickness between 2mm to 10mm, but can be taken down to a feather edge if required.

For optimum smoothing characteristics, an overall thickness of at least 3mm should be maintained.

STOPGAP 1400 is self-smoothing, but should any imperfections remain they can be removed by rubbing with a carborundum stone when the compound will accept foot traffic – typically 90 minutes after application at 20°C. This time will be extended with reduced temperature i.e. approximately 3 hours at 10°C.
