HOW MUCH DO I NEED? DO I NEED STOPG-P? HOW EASY IS IT TO FIT? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? WILL IT SAVE ME MONEY? CAN I USE IT FOR OTHER THINGS? CAN IT BE REMOVED? IS IT AVAILABLE IN COLOURS? WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? WHEN CAN I GET IT? WHAT ABOUT MY GAS FIRE?

I’ve been told I can fill my floorboard gaps with Papier-mache. This material is free – why should I spend money on STOPG-P? Best advice is to ask someone who has used this method before you decide. You’ll probably find it takes all day, is very messy and will need sanding afterwards. What’s wrong with sawdust mixed with glue? Nothing, but it takes ages, it won’t accept the floor coating, it will shrink and fall out within months, it’s (very) messy and it has to be sanded. Why can’t I just use wood filler? You can, but manufacturers specifically exclude its use for floorboards. Isn’t the proper solution to take up the whole floor and re-lay the boards tight to one another? Yes. That’s fine as long as you remembered to do it before
you sanded the floor. If not, STOPG-P is the answer. |
