Application

Suitable substrates

The material can be applied to:

New and old water-based plaster. Plasterboard surfaces. Surfaces with existing mineral- or synthetic-based paint, provided they are dry, sound, non-flaking, absorbent, and properly prepared. Various mineral-based building compounds, provided that they are absorbent. The surface must be properly prepared in accordance with the instructions in the “Surface Preparation” section. Do not apply to surfaces that have not completely dried.

Tools

Stainless steel trowel.

Dilution

Ready to use. GRASSELLO DI CALCE is a mineral-based material and may harden or lose its original viscosity during storage. To restore its original consistency, simply mix it with a mechanical mixer. If necessary, a maximum of 1% water may be added.

Number of coats

The material should be applied in a minimum of two coats to prepare the substrate.

Method

Нанести первый слой материала равномерно распределяя и выравнивая его на поверхности.

Через 12 часов нанести второй слой материала, с тем чтобы получить однородную толщину. Через 12 часов обработать поверхность наждачной бумагой для устранения неровностей, убрать пыль и нанести материал небольшими количествами, мокрым по мокрому, покрывая поверхность и плотно с силой полирую её (кельмой из нержавеющей стали), прежде чем материал начнает подсыхать. Для избежания образования стыков на поверхности, всегда наносить материал по мокрому краю от угла до угла.

Temperature and humidity

Since the drying and carbonation process of GRASSELLO DI CALCE, like all lime-based materials, is strongly affected by temperature and humidity, we recommend applying the material at temperatures between +10°C and +35°C and at a relative ambient humidity below 75%. If there is no need to consolidate the substrate with a primer, we recommend dampening the surface before application to prevent excessive absorption of the water contained in the material’s binders, which could subsequently cause the material to detach from the substrate.

Drying time

Drying time (at +25°C and 65% relative humidity): touch dry after 3 hours; subsequent coats can be applied after 12 hours, depending on the thickness of the applied coat.
