KRACK KOTE®
Banish Cracks Forever!
Make invisible, permanent repairs to cracked walls and ceilings in under an hour. No sanding required. Once the second coat dries, it is ready to paint! No primer needed.
The specially formulated acrylic emulsion is used with a polyester mesh to bridge over cracks. It retains its flexibility as it dries, without shrinking. This allows the repair to move as the wall moves, leaving a seamless repair that will not reopen like other fillers or putties.
KRACK KOTE can be used on drywall, plaster, stucco, wood, concrete, and cement block. It cleans up easily with soap and water. The kit contains:
- KRACK KOTE emulsion: 1 fluid pint
- KRACK BRIDGE fabric: 20 feet
- Spreader
- Instructions and tips* (English, French, and Spanish)
* Special instructions included for cracks wider than 1/8″

Yes, you can use it in a corner. It would be a bit more challenging. Your have to be careful not to crease the fabric, make sure it's completely smooth and flush to the wall with no creases or wrinkles.

Why do you no longer carry the Tuffglass Fabric? It seemed to "embed" better into the repairs. Is it possibly still available? I liked it better than the current "bridge" fabric provided in current kits. - Q Why do you no longer carry the Tuffglass Fabric? It seemed to "embed" better into the repairs. Is......

We used to resell the TuffKote product for the manufacturer. Unfortunately, we no longer carry that product because that manufacturer went out of business.
A Thank you for the prompt response. I do like the bridging fabric for the hairline crack repairs as it seems to hide better. I still like the more robust appearing tuffglass mesh for the more significant cracks. I've only had the long term experience with the tuffglass with some repairs going back like 15 -20 years and none of those have ever reappeared. Great product!

Bill Prout –
I used Krack Kote back in 2009 before I repainted my daughter’s room. The walls are the original wood lath and plaster from the early 20th century, and had 8 or 10 good sized cracks, each being several feet long. I had never heard of or used this product before, but following the directions was very simple and the results have been outstanding. It’s now 2021 and there are no signs of the cracks that I had covered to this day. I’m now ordering another kit to do a different area of my house as the results were so impressive and it will allow us to retain the superior quality and durability of plaster wall construction.

I have used KRACK KOTE to repair cracks in plaster walls and ceiliings for many years,(over 20) with excellent results. I’ve repaired walls and ceiliings in apartments as well as in my home. Following the directions I have never had a separation of the fabric from the surface. Properly installed it makes a 99% invisible repair. I am a very satisfied customer.

I used Krack Coat before I painted the walls in my Victorian home. Well some of the Kracks are back. But … it covered the cracks for almost 39 years. I think I got my moneys worth.
Yes, I will be using Krack Coat again for all of my new restoration projects

We own a small real estate company that specializes in the sale of older and historic homes. Needless to say, plaster cracks are huge (pardon the pun) in our business. We’ve been recommending Krack Kote for 25 years and every last customer is a fan. So glad Abatron bought this product and brought it back!
