FAQs

How long does it take for the plaster to dry?

Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions. Generally, allow 24-48 hours for complete drying before sanding or painting.

Can I use this plaster on exterior surfaces?

This plaster is primarily designed for interior use. Using it outdoors may lead to issues with weather resistance.

What tools do I need?

You'll need a filling knife or trowel for application, sandpaper for smoothing, and a container for mixing if necessary.

How should I store the remaining plaster?

Store the remaining plaster in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent it from drying out.

Can I apply this plaster over existing paint?

Yes, but it's important to ensure the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion.

How many coats should I apply?

Apply as many coats as needed to achieve a smooth and even surface. Thin coats are preferable to thick coats.

What is the coverage of the 20000g tub?

Coverage varies based on surface conditions and application thickness. Consult the product packaging for specific coverage details.

Troubleshooting

Plaster is cracking after drying.

Ensure the application is not too thick. Apply thin layers and allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next. Also, ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from dust and loose particles.

Plaster is not adhering properly.

Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Consider using a primer if the surface is particularly smooth or non-porous.

Plaster is too difficult to spread.

If the plaster feels too thick, slightly moisten it with water and mix thoroughly. Do not add too much water.

Sanding creates dust and imperfections.

Use fine-grit sandpaper and sand gently. Consider using a sanding block for a more even finish. Wear a dust mask for protection.
