One bag covers approximately 1 m².

What is the setting time of the plaster?

The plaster sets in approximately 2 hours.

Do I need to use a primer before applying the plaster?

No, a primer is generally not required if the surface is properly prepared and treated with the appropriate damp-proofing solution first.

Can I use this plaster on external walls?

This plaster is primarily designed for internal use and may not be suitable for external applications. Consult with a professional for external wall solutions.

What should I do if the plaster gets on my skin?

Rinse the affected area with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Can I paint over this plaster?

How should I store the plaster?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture. Keep the bag sealed until use.

What happens if I apply the plaster before using the Dryzone or Dryrod damp-proofing system?

The plaster's performance will be significantly reduced if the underlying damp issue is not addressed. It is crucial to use a damp-proofing treatment first.

Troubleshooting

Plaster not setting within 2 hours.

Ensure correct water-to-plaster ratio. Check the expiry date of the plaster. Make sure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.

Plaster cracking after application.

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared and free of loose material. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Control the drying environment (avoid rapid drying).

Plaster is not adhering properly.

Ensure the wall is damp-proofed first. The surface must be clean and free of contaminants. Apply the plaster firmly to the surface.

Efflorescence reappearing on the plaster surface.

Ensure the underlying damp-proofing treatment has been correctly applied. Check for any remaining sources of moisture ingress. Allow sufficient drying time.
