Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose particles and mould. Fill holes deeper than 4mm with appropriate Polyfilla and sand down well. Seal stains with Polycell Stain Stop. Touch in nails or screws with a suitable metal primer to avoid corrosion. Scrape off any high peaks from the textured surface with a pallet knife.
Application: Stir the product well to a creamy consistency. Immerse the SmoothOver Roller fully into the Polyfilla SmoothOver. Gently roll the product out onto the wall, covering an area of about 1m². Smooth off using the SmoothOver Wiper in an arc over the surface of the product, ensuring that all texture is fully covered. Continue across the wall 1m² at a time, overlapping each section to ensure an even coverage.
Drying: Allow to dry for 24 hours, depending on conditions. Apply a second coat if needed. When fully dry, lightly sand down small irregularities.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on plaster, plasterboard, or painted masonry surfaces and other textured backgrounds. Ensure compatibility with the final paint.
Care: Remove excess product from tools before washing with warm water. Do not use or store in extremes of temperature and protect from frost.
