For sealing gaps around internal window and door frames, cornices, plasterboard, sidings, vents, and tiles, Gap Filla Acrylic Sealant provides a flexible seal where rigid fillers are prone to cracking and falling out.

How it works

Gap Filla is an acrylic polymer sealant that cures through water evaporation into a smooth, flexible joint. It is formulated to accommodate up to 5% dynamic movement, allowing it to withstand minor settlement and thermal shifts without releasing the bond. The cured sealant is paintable and can be cleaned up with water during application, making it suitable for multi-trade interior finishing work.

Where to use it

This sealant forms an adhesive bond on common construction substrates, including:

  • Glass and ceramic tiles
  • Wood and plasterboard
  • Brick and concrete
  • Metal

Limitations

  • Do not use in areas subject to water immersion.
  • Do not use in chemical environments.
  • Not suitable for food contact surfaces.
  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications, such as stoves, fireplaces, or flues.
  • Application temperature must be between +5°C and +35°C.

Numbers that matter

  • ±5% dynamic movement: Accommodates minor joint movement to prevent the filler from cracking or falling out.
  • 15 to 20 minutes tack-free time (at 25°C): Provides a quick skinning time to protect the joint from dust and debris before curing.
  • 24 to 48 hours cure time (at 25°C): The required window for water evaporation to complete before the joint reaches full physical properties.
  • 22 g/L VOC: Low-emission formulation meeting the Californian South Coast Air Quality Management Rule 1168.

Can I paint over Gap Filla?
Yes. Let it cure for 24 to 48 hours, then paint with water-based or oil-based paint.

Is Gap Filla right for showers and wet areas?
No. It is not for joints that hold water. Use it on internal gaps that stay dry.

How much movement can the joint take?
Up to +/- 5% dynamic movement. For joints that move more, use a more flexible sealant.

When is the joint ready to use?
It skins in 15 to 20 minutes at 25°C and cures fully in 24 to 48 hours. Keep water off it until a skin has formed.

Flexible acrylic sealant for gaps around internal window and door frames, cornices, plasterboard, and tiles. Moves up to +/- 5%, so the bead takes minor settlement and thermal shift without cracking or falling out. Paintable once cured. Cleans up with water while it is still wet.
Clean the joint so it is free of dust, oil, and loose paint, and mask both sides for a sharp line. Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle, push a steady bead into the joint with a caulking gun, and tool it with a wet finger or spatula. It skins in 15 to 20 minutes and cures in 24 to 48 hours at 25°C. Wipe excess off with a damp cloth before it cures. Remove cured sealant mechanically.
Do not use it where the joint holds water, in chemical environments, or on food contact surfaces. Not for high temperature spots such as stoves, fireplaces, or flues. Joints must not move more than +/- 5%. Apply between +5°C and +35°C.
  • Suits: Glass, ceramic tiles, wood, plasterboard, brick, concrete, and metal.
  • Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and sound, and free from dust, grease, loose particles, and old sealant.
  • Primer: Not needed on most common building materials when clean and dry.
