Perltex Concrete Spackling Compound is a new product for application expressly for application to masonry wall and ceiling surfaces to fill, level, and patch voids, joinings, and other imperfections in the concrete.
The product is a concentrate that is mixed on the job with masonry or mortar cement and water. Designed for use over large areas, it can be machine-sprayed or troweled on with hand tools. Other advantages of Perltex Concrete Spackling Compound are complete compatibility with concrete, strong bond, and practically no shrinkage. It is lightweight and "fatty" in texture, so it works easily and feathers out smoothly because the aggregate is finer and softer than silica sand. The Compound is usually used in preparation for Perltex Spray Surfacer or similar texture products. Color is light gray. Packaged in 25-pound bags.
