SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
NEW GYPSUM PLASTER (RHINO-LITE)
- Ensure that the gypsum plaster is dry and of good quality, i.e. that the surface is hard and free of chalk.
- NOTE: If chalky powder remains after wiping, Paintcor’s RhinoSeal must be applied in place of PlasterPrime Premium. Refer to RhinoSeal DA.
- Wipe the good quality gypsum plaster down to remove all dirt and dust.
- Apply one coat of Paintcor’s PlasterPrime Premium to all gypsum surfaces to be painted. Allow drying for 2 hours at 25 degrees.
- Apply two topcoats of your choice. Allow sufficient time to dry between coats.
NEW CEMENT PLASTER
- Ensure that the plaster is dry and of good quality. Poor quality plaster (plaster that continues to release loose particles when brushed) must be sealed using Paintcor’s AcrySeal and not PlasterPrime Premium. Refer to Acryseal DA.
- Apply one coat of PlasterPrime Premium to the new plaster to be painted.
- Allow drying for 2 hours at 25 degrees.
- Should the primed surface highlight undesirable texture differences on the new plaster, then apply one coat of Paintcor’s AcrylUnder or SubTex undercoat to improve texture variances. Allow drying.
- Apply two coats of the top-coat of your choice. Allow drying between coats.
