material.

Spackling will change color to white when surface can accept a second application or is ready to be
sanded or painted in approximately 1 to 5 hours (depending on temperature, humidity and depth of fill).
For a smoother finish, dip putty knife in water and lightly smooth spackling.
For exterior/moisture exposed applications, apply waterproof coating prior to moisture exposure.
Immediately clean up wet product with water. Dry product must be scraped or sanded away.
Wet sanding is recommended to avoid generation of dust.
