Preparation
You should prepare the surfaces before applying; complete this by removing all contaminants that can hinder the adhesion. Highly Porous surfaces should be primed using a diluted version of this product. Dilute 1 part Soudal Repair Express Plaster to 2 parts water; use this solution to lightly coat the surface, optimising the adhesion. Any nail or screw heads should be covered in paint, and this is to prevent the rusting properties of these objects that can interfere with the Repair Express Plaster.
Application
- Using a putting knife, open the tub and scoop the compound, applying it directly to the surface.
- Ensure you cover the surface entirely; if the crack/hole is extremely deep, complete one layer, wait for it to cure and apply a second on top.
- Finish with a wet spatula or trowel, ensuring you've covered the area, leaving a bump to be sanded down once cured.
- Sand down the surface after it's fully cured.
Limitations
- This product is not suitable for application on damp areas or surfaces which will be constantly immersed.
- No suitable for external application
- This product is not eligible for expansion and dilatation joints
- If using highly filled paints, this can lead to the paint peeling.
