Product Description
Eliminate unsightly wall cracks permanently with Dr. Fixit 201 Crack-X Paste - the professional-grade, fiber-reinforced acrylic crack filler that delivers lasting repair solutions for both interior and exterior surfaces. Engineered with premium weather-durable acrylic emulsion polymers, carefully selected graded fillers, light-fast pigments, and specialized additives, this ready-to-use flexible putty transforms cracked surfaces into smooth, durable walls.
Unlike temporary fillers that shrink and crack over time, Crack-X Paste's advanced polymer matrix with micro-fiber reinforcement creates a permanent seal that moves with your building structure. Its exceptional bonding properties eliminate the need for primers on most surfaces, while its water-resistant formulation prevents future moisture ingress through repaired cracks.

- Crack Preparation: Widen hairline cracks to minimum 3-5mm using scraper, creating V-groove
- Surface Conditioning: Remove existing POP/putty on interior walls until plaster is exposed
- Moistening: Dampen surface before application for optimal adhesion
- Priming (Optional): Apply diluted Crack-X Paste (1:1 with water) as primer if needed
- Application: Press paste firmly into crack using spatula, ensuring complete fill
- Leveling: Level with surrounding surface, avoid air bubbles or cavities
