CustomTech Silk is a fast-curing, premium patching and finishing compound that provides a smooth finish to a variety of substrates prior to the installation of floor coverings. Formulated with Controlled Cure Technology™, Silk helps eliminate installation problems of bond failure, crumbling, mildrew and staining of resilient flooring due to free-moisture found in traditional underlayment.  Its rapid setting formula allows installation of most floor covering in as little as 15 minutes. 

Features:

  • Superior mixing and handling
  • Excellent for skim coat patching applications
  • No additives required
  • Apply from featheredge to 1"
  • Install flooring in as little as 15 minutes

  • Existing ceramic tile
  • Resilient flooring

    Curing Time:

    • Parquet, athletic flooring, and flooring requiring special adhesives (such as epoxies and urethanes), which can be sensitive to the presence of moisture, can be installed after 16 hours.
