Mastaglide

Mastaglide is a premixed heavyweight compound for final coating plasterboard joints and fastener heads. It is suitable for both hand troweling and mechanical tools, and can be used over Mastabase and Mastalongset bedding cements.

Mastaglide has good body, and is particularly suited for application with mechanical tools in larger projects. It is easy to trowel, gliding over the joint with little effort.

Quick drying means less waiting before sanding, with sufficient time available for fine edges when feathering. It has good resistance to cracking in internal angles.

Light in colour when first applied, but the colour changes as it dries. Sand only when the joints are completely dry.
