SURFACE PREPARATION

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always use clean water and clean containers and tools.
• Only prepare the required amount to be used to prevent fast setting in the containers.
• Preparation, slowly add powder to water and mix. Mix by hand or with a power mixer (max. 400rpm). Mix until a smooth workable paste has been achieved
APPLICATION
• Pre-fill premium joint compound at the joints between panels with a 6” joint putty knife.
• Position and lightly press the mesh tape or cotton tape over the freshly applied gypsum putty.
Scrape off excess gypsum putty from the edge and apply a thin coat over the tape to prevent
wrinkles and blisters.
• Allow the first coat to dry and scrape off excess material and imperfections. Apply a 2nd coat to the joints using an 8”knife or trowel. Feather properly ensuring that the 2nd coat is wider than the first coat by 2-4”.
• Apply the 3rd and final again if necessary making sure that the previous coat is covered and final coat extends at least 2” from the edges.
• Sanding is not always necessary. But if you do, use fine grit sandpaper taking care that the board’s
paper surface is not scuffed or roughed. Remove sanding dust with a slightly damp sponge.
