One coat gypsum plasters ready to be painted.
The Job Process
General Instructions
Remove loose mortar from previously plastered surfaces. Unplastered walls are ready for subsequent treatment.
Prepare the wall with Knauf primer ("Knauf Betokontact" for smooth surfaces or "Knauf Primer - Grundiermitel" for high absorbing surfaces).
For a smooth finish and protection of exposed corners apply "Knauf Corner Beads".
For vertical external corners (doors & windows) use our Knauf Corner Beads in order to avoid possible damages.
For overspaning cracks & stresses between different kinds of substrates the use of our Gitex reinforcement mesh for plasters is more than required.

Hand Applied KNAUF Plasters
Pour 26 lt. Of clean water into a bucket. Add knauf plaster (40 kg) with a trowel. When the Knauf plaster has absorbed some water mix it to a smooth paste.
Use the Knauf mixer, which fits any electric drill. Do not prepare more plaster than you can use within 20 minutes.
Spread Knauf plaster on the wall with a trowel and let it dry for 60 min.
When at certain spots the coating is not thick enough spread knauf plaster again and scrap it with the trapezoid featheredge.
10 min. later sprinkle the surface with water and smooth with a hard sponge float to remove trowel and featheredge marks. Work in circular motion.
If you want a really smooth surface you should finish it with a Swiss trowel 10 min. After smoothing.

Plaster should be sprayed on the wall working horizontally from top to bottom.
Leveling the wall surface can be achieved with the use of the H-section featheredge, then let dry for 90 min.
When at certain spots the coating is not thick enough spread knauf plaster again and scrap it with the trapezoid featheredge.
10 min. later sprinkle the surface with water and smooth with a hard sponge float to remove trowel and featheredge marks. Work in circular motion.
If you want a really smooth surface you should finish it with a Swiss trowel 10 min. After smoothing.
