What is Bostik FINISHING SOAP and why choose it?

Bostik FINISHING SOAP is a ready-to-use, pH-neutral liquid designed for the wet tooling and smoothing of freshly applied joint sealants. Supplied in an ergonomic spray bottle, it allows you to quickly moisten joints and adjacent surfaces so the sealant can be tooled cleanly with a spatula, putty knife or similar tool.
