DEPENDABLE WHITE LATEX LIQUID is highly recommended as an admixture in most applications, particularly when mildew resistance, water resistance and/or increased adhesion are desired. The biocide added to LATEX LIQUID protects SKIMCOAT from mold and mildew. Adhesives and vinyl floors should contain their own mold/mildew protection.

DEPENDABLE ACRYLIC EMBOSSING ADDITIVE
may also be used as an additive over old vinyl floors (non-cushioned).
