SURFACE PREPARATION

Before applying Duracoat Internal and External Skimcoat remove all loosely adhering material from the wall surface with the help of sand paper, putty blade or wire brush. The substrate should clear, free from dust, grease and loose materials. Moisten the wall with sufficient quantity of clean water. It is very important and essential that the surface is wet thoroughly before application of Duracoat Internal & External Skim Coat. This ensures higher bonding strength, easy workability and higher coverage with the surface.

MIXING: Slowly mix Duracoat Internal and External Skim Coat with 40­45% clean water to make a paste. It is important that water be added to the putty to make a mix and not vice versa. Continue the mixing for 10-15minutes till a uniform paste is formed. It is very important that mixing of Duracoat Internal & External Skim Coat should be done thoroughly preferably with a mechanical mixer. This will help in easy application, obtaining more coverage and smooth uniform shade

PAINT APPLICATION PROCESS

Apply the first coat of Duracoat Internal and External Skimcoat using a blade on the wall. Allow the surface to dry for 4-6hours. After drying of the first coat of Duracoat Internal and External Skim Coat just rub the surface gently with a wet sponge or with a putty blade to remove the loose particles. Then apply a second coat of Duracoat Internal & External Skim Coat. Leave the surface to dry overnight/ 10-12 hours. After drying of the second coat of skim coat remove any marks with a wet sponge or with a putty blade. It is recommended not rub the surface done with Duracoat Internal & External Skimcoat strongly and harshly with rough emery paper. This breaks down the film formed over it which decreases the water repellency properties. If at all there is need to remove any unevenness gently level the surface with very fine waterproof emery paper. The total thickness of the coats should be limited to a maximum of 2 mm

NOTE

Generally, the cause of efflorescence on the wall surface is due to salty water or salt in sand/bricks. If the effect of efflorescence is very high then the proper care should be taken to control the efflorescence, Otherwise, Duracoat Internal and External Skimcoat will not stick to the wall and flaking problems may arise.
