Application Instructions

Here are some key technical points about how to apply this material correctly. Please have the applicators read / watch the application instructions below before applying the product.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Clean the masonry: the plaster must be applied on a cleaned and uniformly wet substrate. All crumbling and loose parts must be removed by brushing so the masonry is free of dust, salts and oils. If possible, also wash the walls with a pressure washer; this will clean and wet the walls in one go. Close larger holes with lime mortar and pieces of bricks.

Mixing: mix the material with clean tap water only without adding anything else (no other material or additive), until a homogenous, creamy-consistency mix is obtained.
IMPORTANT: Dry to wet mixing: plasters with hydraulic ingredients should always be mixed from dry to wet (workable) state. Add your powder to a bit of water, start mixing and gradually add more water till the right consistency is reached. This is the right way. Mixing the other way – wet to dry mixing – by starting with lots of water then gradually adding powder to the right consistency, is incorrect. Reason: excessive wetting weakens the plaster, alters its hydraulic set resulting in less performant, more friable and shorter lasting plasters.

Application conditions: ambient and wall temperatures must be between +5 to +30°C during application. Surfaces should be protected from rain and humidity until they have completely dried (approx. 3 – 10 days depending on weather conditions).
