Professional Advice
Stopgap Micro Rapid is designed for finishing work rather than full floor levelling. It's the perfect choice for repairing isolated imperfections, feather edging around thresholds and creating a smooth surface before installing your chosen floor covering.
For larger repairs use Stopgap 400 Repair Mortar, while larger floor areas should be levelled using a suitable Stopgap smoothing compound.
