Surface Preparation:
New surface
New surface requires preparation such as removal of dust, dirt and foreign matter. Case of cracks, voids & damages it should be in just-wet condition, prior to putty application.
Old Unpainted Surface:
All loose material, organic growth, dirt, dust, etc. must be removed with steel blade or wire brush. Surface should be in just-wet condition, prior to putty application.
Very Rough Surface (more than 8 mm depth):
If surface plaster was rough, 1st apply white cement / white cement mortar and level the surface. Cure the surface for 2 days, before starting putty coat. Surface should be in just-wet condition, prior to putty application.
- Just-wet condition could be achieved by applying coat of water with soft brush.
- * In case of wall exposed to sun, more water spraying shall be done to take away heat from the surface and then bring wall to just-wet condition.
