Preparation
Ensure the surface to be filled is free of loose material and dirt. Paint any nails and screw heads with a suitable metal primer.
Application
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the packaging. Test on a small area of the surface to ensure compatibility.
- Moisten very porous surfaces such as old or bare plaster.
- Stir to a creamy consistency.
- Spread on with a paintbrush using random strokes.
- Smooth over with the supplied tool moving in an upward curve, and maintain an even pressure.
- Allow to dry for 2-3 hours until the surface is firm but before it is dry. Use the spreader to achieve a flat, smooth finish, re-wetting the surface if necessary.
- After a further 3-4 hours re-wet the surface and rub gently with a damp cloth, using the spreader to remove any irregularities for a smooth finish.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours before painting.
