Dr. Fixit Crack-X Paste is formulated with high-quality acrylic emulsions, selected graded fillers, and specific additives.The acrylic base provides the material with its inherent flexibility and strong bonding characteristics. When applied, the paste fills the void of the crack, and as the water in the formulation evaporates, it cures to form a tough, elastomeric, and durable seal that is tightly bonded to the sides of the crack.
Primary Applications:
Dr. Fixit Crack-X Paste is the ideal choice for quick, hassle-free repairs of static cracks up to 5 mm in width:
- Interior and Exterior Plaster Cracks: It is most commonly used for filling cracks on plastered walls and ceilings before painting.
- Window and Door Frame Gaps: Suitable for filling the gap between window/door frames and the adjacent wall.
- Skirting and Cornices: Can be used to fill cracks at the junction of the wall and skirting or cornices.
- Asbestos Sheets: Effectively fills cracks in asbestos cement sheets.
Method of Application:
For a durable and clean repair, follow these simple steps:
- Surface Preparation: The crack must be clean, dry, and free from all dust, grease, and loose particles. Widen the crack into a “V” shape using a scraper for better adhesion and filling.
- Application: Apply Dr. Fixit Crack-X Paste directly into the crack using a putty knife or a spatula. Press the paste firmly into the crack to ensure that there are no air pockets or voids.
- Finishing: Level the surface of the paste with the surrounding wall surface for a smooth finish. If the crack is deep (more than 5 mm), it may require a second application after the first layer has dried.
- Drying: The paste will be touch-dry in about 30 minutes and will typically dry completely within 24 hours, depending on the thickness of the application, humidity, and temperature.
- Painting: The repaired surface can be painted over after 24 hours. For best results, it is advisable to apply a coat of primer before the final paint application.
In summary, Dr. Fixit Crack-X Paste is a user-friendly and effective solution for homeowners and painters looking for a quick, flexible, and reliable way to repair common surface cracks and achieve a perfect, long-lasting paint finish.
