FAQs

What kind of surfaces can I use Bartoline Plaster Skim & Repair on?

This product is specifically formulated for repairs to plaster and plasterboard surfaces.

What is the maximum depth this product can fill?

It can effectively cover holes and imperfections up to 3mm deep in a single application.

Do I need to seal the surface after using this product before decorating?

If you plan to wallpaper the surface, it is essential to seal the dried repair with a plaster sealer or a sealer/PVA mix. For painting, sealing is generally not required once the repair is fully dry.

How long does it take for the repair to dry?

Drying time will depend on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Always ensure the repair is completely dry before proceeding with painting or wallpapering. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying guidelines.

Can I use this product outdoors?

This product is designed for interior use on plaster and plasterboard. It is not recommended for outdoor applications.

How do I clean my tools after use?

Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with warm water.

Can I apply multiple layers if the damage is deeper than 3mm?

Yes, for deeper damage, you can build up the repair in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next.

Troubleshooting

The repair mixture is difficult to smooth evenly.

Ensure the surface is clean and slightly dampen the filling knife or spatula before smoothing. Apply in thin, even layers.

The product is slumping or sagging on vertical surfaces.

This product is designed not to slump, but ensure you are not applying too thick a layer. It's intended for repairs up to 3mm deep. For deeper repairs, build up in thin layers, allowing each to dry.

My paint/wallpaper is not adhering well to the repaired area.

Ensure the repair is fully dry before decorating. If wallpapering, it is crucial to seal the dried repair with a plaster sealer or sealer/PVA mix before applying wallpaper.

The repaired area feels soft or powdery after drying.

This usually indicates insufficient drying time. Allow more time for the product to cure fully. Ensure adequate ventilation in the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area to be repaired is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Scrape away any flaking paint or plaster.
  2. Apply the Repair: Using a suitable spatula or filling knife, apply a small amount of the ready mix to the damaged area.
  3. Smooth: Work the product into the hole or crack, ensuring it's flush with the surrounding surface. Smooth off any excess immediately for a clean finish.
  4. Dry: Allow the repair to dry thoroughly. Drying time will vary depending on ambient conditions and application thickness.
  5. Sand (Optional): Once dry, lightly sand the area if necessary to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
  6. Seal for Wallpaper: Before applying wallpaper, the dried surface *must* be sealed with a plaster sealer or a sealer/PVA mix to ensure proper adhesion. For painting, sealing is generally not required after the repair is fully dry.

Compatibility

  • Substrates: Primarily designed for repairs on plaster and plasterboard.
  • Finishes: Compatible with most paints and wallpapers once dry and properly prepared (sealed for wallpaper).

Care

  • Storage: Store the product in its original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry, frost-free environment.
