Gypsum Surfaces

Gypsum plasters: Sand lightly, remove dust, and prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Gypsum boards / planks: Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Plasterboard filler areas: Sand off burrs, then prime. For water-soluble discoloration, use Caparol AquaSperrgrund.

Sand-lime masonry: Brush off salts, prime with CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111. For highly absorbent surfaces, use OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Existing Paint Coatings

Stable, load-bearing coatings: Recoat directly; roughen glossy surfaces.
Unstable or non-bearing coatings: Remove old paint, prime porous or sanding areas with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Special Surfaces

Glue-bound distemper: Wash thoroughly, let dry, prime with Dupa plaster strengthener or OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Wallpaper / embossed paper: Coat directly; for removed wallpaper, clean residue and prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Mold-infested surfaces: Clean with Capatox, let dry, follow legal regulations; for extra protection, use Malerit-W, Indeko-W, or Fungitex-W.
Nicotine, soot, water, or grease stains: Wash with water + degreasing agent, dry, then seal with Caparol AquaSperrgrund Fein or Caparol-Filtergrund.
Wood / wood-based panels: Prime with Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund; for factory-coated melamine boards, use Capacryl Haftprimer.

Filling Defects

Fill chips, joints, and small defects with Füllspachtel P.
For gypsum layers <0.5 mm, use a transparent, water-based primer to ensure good adhesion.
