F. Ball Stopgap P121 is a high-performance acrylic primer developed to prepare calcium sulphate (anhydrite) screeds before the application of Stopgap smoothing compounds and compatible flooring adhesives.

Ensure the screed has reached the manufacturer's recommended moisture content before priming or installing floor coverings.

Apply Stopgap P121 evenly across the prepared calcium sulphate screed. The blue colour helps ensure complete and consistent coverage.

Use Stopgap Micro Rapid for minor repairs and feather edging, or Stopgap 400 Repair for larger repairs before levelling.
