## Description

Karndean Skim Coat Finishing Compound 5Kg Tub

Review: Smooth finish - Thicker than I expected when mixed according to instructions and needs some effort to spread but it is very fine and gives a very smooth finish which can be feathered to s perfect thin edge. It seems to have enough flexibility when set to accommodate the slight movement in a timber floor. You have to work quite fast.
Review: comes in powder form - be mindful it is not a ready mix - the product comes in powder form; it is rather difficult to mix and use as a diy enthusiast; worked well in the end to prepare the plywood for glue down LVT
