SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION

New Plaster

1. Remove all loose friable material.
2. Satintex can be applied directly to good quality, cured plaster.
3. If the plaster is very friable then apply 1 coat of Paintcor’s AcrySeal Acrylic Sealer diluted 1:1 with water to all new plaster. Allow to dry for 1 hour @ 25 degrees C.
4. Apply 1 or 2 coats of Paintcor’s Satintex by brush or roller

Previously Painted Plaster

Check adhesion of existing paint. (Cross hatch method) Using a Stanley knife, cut through the paint surface to the substrate vertically and horizontally approximately 3mm apart, creating little squares. If the edges of the squares curl up, and the square can easily be removed, this means the adhesion of the old paint system is failing.

If adhesion is poor:

1. Remove all old paint back to existing plaster.
2. If surface is powdery (chalking), wash to remove all powder. Allow to dry.
3. Apply 1 coat of Paintcor’s AcrySeal Acrylic Sealer diluted 1:1 with water to all exposed plaster and washed chalking surfaces. Allow to dry.
4. Apply 1 or 2 coats of Paintcor’s Satintex by brush or roller

If adhesion is good:

1. Wash walls to remove all dirt and dust. Allow to dry.
2. Apply Satintex as per no 4 above

Applying Satintex correctly requires professional painters with knowledge of applying textured finishes. Incorrectly applied Satintex will give a poor, uneven finish. Please contact our Technical Department for training on application of textured coatings. Avoid applying Satintex in Direct sunlight or when ambient temperatures are 30°C or above.

TIPS ON TEXTURES

• Work Quickly.
• Keep a wet edge at all times.
• Work corner to corner, do not stop in the middle of the wall.
• Use scaffolding on double story walls with two applicators meeting each other’s wet edge.
