Product Focus: Stopgap Micro Rapid

We take a closer look at F. Ball’s rapid-drying floor finishing compound.
What is it?

Stopgap Micro Rapid is an ultra-smooth, rapid-drying floor finishing compound for creating a flawlessly smooth subfloor finish.

Where is it used?

It can be applied to a seamless feathered edge to fill indentations formed by screws used to secure plywood sheets and gaps at joints between the panels, as well as to repair minor defects in a wide range of other absorbent surfaces, including sand/cement and calcium sulphate screeds.

It is ideal for use where a perfectly smooth surface is required to prevent imperfections affecting the finished appearance of new floorcoverings, such as when installing LVTs.

Whats different about it?

The latest addition to F. Ball’s range of floor finishing and repair compounds utilises the same advanced cement technology as the company’s fast-track levelling compounds, meaning it is walk-on hard and ready to receive new floorcoverings from just 20 minutes after application.

When using the product, there is also no need to prime the subfloor, saving further time.

Something you might not know about the product:

Stopgap Micro Rapid is protein-free, making it suitable for use in biologically sensitive areas, including hospitals, and is coloured beige to allow for marking out.
