Application Procedure
First Coat: Using a Wind-Lock T-VPF2008, T-VPF2411 or T-VPF2812 Stainless Steel Venetian Plaster Trowel apply a very tight, thin coat of Plasterflex to the surface free of trowel marks. Use moderate to high pressure with a trowel angle of about 600 to 800 to the wall surface. The amount of material applied to the wall surface is paper thin. Allow the Plasterflex to take up for 2-3 hours. Clean the surface to remove any dust.
Second Coat, 2 Methods
- Apply a paper-thin second coat of Plasterflex using short, random strokes. If increased mottling or a higher sheen is desired, burnish using a clean, dry trowel about 30-40 minutes after second application.
- Apply a paper-thin second coat of Plasterflex using short, random strokes. Water trowel all visible lines out after approximately 15 minutes of drying time using a spray bottle filled with water and the Venetian Plaster Trowel. The finish is ready to be water troweled the first time when there is no visible moisture left on the surface. A second water troweling will need to be done approximately 15 minutes later to compress the finish and get it to the desired smoothness. If the finish tears or runs when water troweling, wait an additional 5 minutes and restart the process. This means the finish was too wet to begin water troweling.
Note: Application problems occur when Plasterflex is applied too thick. Only paper thin applications are necessary.
Surface may be spray coated after 24 hours with Master Wall® Metallic Cote, Vintique and/or Clearshield if desired. Follow individual data sheet instructions for products selected.
Cautions and Limitations
- Plasterflex is not intended for deep depressions or irregular surfaces.
- Slope all exterior surfaces 1:2 minimum to shed water.
- Apply in paper thin applications, shrinkage, cracking or blistering can occur over 1/16” (1.6 mm) thick.
- Plasterflex is designed to be applied over a properly installed interior drywall.
- Not for use over any finishes or primers other than Primecoat.
- Application in direct sunlight may affect aesthetics if the Plasterflex dries too quickly. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Use of Clearshield sealer is recommended in high moisture or traffic areas.
- When cleaning do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Wash gently using a soap and water solution followed by a warm water rinse.
Clean Up
Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soapy water while the Plasterflex is still wet.
