FAQs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles. Use a suitable primer if necessary, especially on porous surfaces.
- Mixing: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing. Add the plaster to clean water, not the other way around. Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Application: Apply the plaster using a trowel or a plastering machine. Aim for an even coat, using the appropriate thickness for the project. For deeper repairs, apply in multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to set slightly before applying the next.
- Compatibility: Thistle OneCoat is compatible with various interior surfaces like brick, block, concrete and plasterboard. Check compatibility with specific primers or sealers before application.
- Care: Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity during application and drying. Protect the finished surface from damage until it is fully dry. Clean tools immediately after use to prevent the plaster from hardening on them.
