MIXING AND APPLICATION

Mix 1 part of SKIMPLAST to 0.3 part of clean water by volume in a suitable plastic container until a lump free consistency is attained. For best result, let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes and stir again. Refrain from adding more water even if the mixture is already beginning to set, any changes from the recommended mixing ratio will affect the properties of the product. Using a steel trowel or putty knife, apply SKIMPLAST evenly to the desired thickness. Additional coats can be applied as needed. Allow an undercoating interval of at least 20 minutes. Sanding may be necessary to obtain a higher degree of smoothness. Allow plastered wall to cure for at least 3-5 days. Wash surface with wet sponge and let dry before applying paint as final coat.
