Finish natural-stone silicone joints with Smoothtex N

Maxisil Smoothtex N is the formula-specific tooling aid for Maxisil Natural Stone silicone. It helps shape fresh silicone joints next to suitable marble, granite and other natural-stone installations when applied as directed.

Why choose N instead of A?

Natural stone can be sensitive to finishing liquids and staining. The manufacturer identifies Smoothtex N for Natural Stone silicone; Smoothtex A is instead paired with Wet Area and Pool silicone and is not suitable for natural-stone substrates.

Use and size guidance

• Use Smoothtex N undiluted as stated in the manufacturer's technical sheet, with a Maxisil Applicator.
• Choose 8.4 fl oz (250 mL) or 34 fl oz (1,000 mL) from the available bottle variants.
• Test especially sensitive stone in an inconspicuous spot. The manufacturer warns that some dark and sensitive stones can discolor; remove surplus liquid before it dries.
• Take care with matte-finish silicone: excessive repeated tooling can alter the appearance or polish the surface.

Common questions

Do I dilute Smoothtex N with water?

No. The manufacturer directs using Smoothtex N undiluted; don't apply Smoothtex A's dilution instructions to this formula.

Does Smoothtex N guarantee no marks on any stone?

No. Test sensitive stone first and follow the technical sheet's cleaning and removal instructions.

Select the Smoothtex N bottle size that suits your job and add it to your Natural Stone sealing kit.
