The professional acrylic mastic used to seal and fill all construction materials. The formulation ensures a perfect finish with all types of paint, stains and varnishes, with little or no risk of reactions such as blistering or discolouration. AC38 sets to a plastic consistency which is perfect to take up expansion and movement in the substrate without loosening or cracking.
Application
Sealing and finishing of joints, gaps and cracks before overcoating.
Sealing of joints between frames, walls, window sills, skirtings, etc.
Repairs and sealing of cracks and joints in aerated concrete, stone, plasterwork and woodwork.
Sealing of angle and panel joints in interior construction.

Improve adhesion and reinforce weak substrates such as aerated concrete or plaster by coating with diluted AC38 (2 parts water to 1 part AC38).
Test the adhesion to plastics, powder coatings, exotic timbers, Belgian bluestone and bituminous materials.
A perfect joint will be as deep as it is wide (from maximum 5 to 10 mm).
The drying time depends on:
the temperature of the product
the ambient temperature
the temperature of the substrate
the coat thickness
the air humidity
the humidity of the substrate.
Not to be used as glazing putty or as an adhesive sealant. Not suitable for submerged joints or in locations with standing water.
