Product Highlights

Q: What is Crawford's Free Spackling Paste?

A: Crawford's Free is a multipurpose, premixed, ready-to-use, pleasant smelling vinyl resin based patching compound for many interior and exterior prepared surfaces.

Q: What does the "Free" mean?

A: Crawford's is free of added asbestos, white lead, mercury, tin, formaldehyde or any heavy metal biocide or fungicide. In addition, Crawford's Free contains no potentially harmful added silica - a most recent concern among health professionals.

Q: Is it true that Crawford's Free is non toxic and hypoallergenic?

A: Yes! Crawford's Free was tested by an independent lab and found to be non toxic when used as directed and hypoallergenic to the majority of the population.

Q: How isCrawford's Free different from other brands?

A: First of all Crawford's Free can be used on either interior or exterior prepared surfaces. Second, Crawford's Free is no doubt America's easiest sanding spackling paste - ever! Third, Crawford's Free flows on like warm butter with never a kick-up. Fourth, Crawford's Free has excellent adhesion to primed substrates. Last but certainly not least, Crawford's Free has good resistance to cracking, shrinking and sagging.

Q: How does Crawford's Free differ from lightweight brands?

A: Lightweight compounds are O.K. for filling a nail hole or two - but that's about it! You just can't spread a lightweight product over an inch or so in any one direction without it beginning to dry up on the knife. Working time, therefore, is severely restricted. So why buy a single purpose brand when Crawford's Free will do so much more?

Q: What are some other features of Crawford's Free?

A: Crawford's Freecontains no ozone damaging mineral spirits. In fact, Crawford's Free contains less than 1% of a non-photochemically reactive* odorless mineral spirit by weight. And Crawford's Free requires no EPA warning label for interior use or disposal.

*Non-photochemically reactive: A material that does not react with sunlight to produce smog or contribute to the reduction of the ozone layer.
