FAQ
A moving crack is one that keeps working with the movements of the building, as a result of changes in temperature, humidity or vibration. A rigid filler applied over it will split again, however good it is. So you need a product that stays flexible once dry. PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER is formulated for this. Flexible and rich in fibres, it treats moving cracks indoors and outdoors.
Yes, with a flexible, fibre-reinforced filler. The PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER product sheet states that it replaces crack treatment systems that use tape. Its fibres act as the reinforcement and its flexibility absorbs movement in the substrate. This saves real time on fine and hairline cracks. For a structural crack, however, the cause must still be dealt with before any surface repair.
A crack reappears when it keeps moving and the product used is rigid. A standard filler hardens and splits at the first movement of the substrate. Three mistakes come up often: a poorly prepared substrate, a crack that was not opened up before filling, and the wrong product. On a moving crack, you need a flexible filler such as PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER, which stays flexible and absorbs deformation.
Open up the crack and remove any paint that is lifting along its edges, then brush and dust off. Old paintwork is one of the substrates for PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER, which offers excellent adhesion to all common substrates. Load the filler with a filling knife, strike off, then, once fully dry, apply the finish over the whole surface to avoid any difference in appearance.
PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER can be applied up to 3 mm thick. It is intended for moving cracks and hairline cracks, on concrete, cement, plaster, plasterboard, old paintwork and previously primed wood. Beyond this limit, a wide or deep crack is treated in two stages: a filler for the bulk, then the flexible treatment on the surface.
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER remains flexible once dry, which allows it to follow the movements of the crack instead of splitting. Its fibres reinforce the repair throughout and hold it together. This flexibility sets it apart from a standard filler, which dries hard and can be sanded, but cracks again on a substrate that moves.
The average consumption of PRESTONETT FLEXIBLE CRACK REPAIR FILLER is 1 litre per m² per millimetre of thickness. When treating cracks, think in terms of the volume to be filled rather than the surface area, because application is linear. The 600 ml tub suits this type of job, and the unlimited working time means any leftover can be kept.
