FAQs

Can I use this plaster on exterior walls?

How long does it take for the plaster to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions. Refer to the product label for specific drying times.

Do I need to prime the surface before applying the plaster?

It is generally recommended to prime the surface, especially on glossy or non-absorbent surfaces, to ensure proper adhesion.

How do I store the remaining plaster?

Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the tub is properly sealed to prevent drying.

What tools do I need to apply this plaster?

You'll need a filling knife or trowel to apply the plaster and sandpaper for smoothing.

Can I use this plaster on wood?

This plaster can be used on wood if the wood is properly prepared and primed to promote adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is cracking after drying.

Ensure the plaster is applied in thin coats. Avoid applying excessively thick layers in one go. Check for drafts during drying.
