Surface preparation

1. Make sure that plasterboards are firmly bolted to the frame.
2. Clean the surface thoroughly, especially the joints.
3. Make sure that the surface is dry.
4. If there are voids in the joints or holes and cracks on the surface fill them with ISOMIX ARMOGIPS.

Application conditions

1. Ambient and plasterboard temperature should not be below 7^oC.
2. It is advised to avoid joint filling when contraction-expansion in plasterboards is expected due to temperature and moisture variations.

Mixing instructions

1. Add 2 kg of ISOMIX ARMOGIPS into 1 Lt clean water. Warning: never pour the water into the plaster.
2. Stir well with a trowel until mix becomes homogenous and creamy. Final mixing with the trowel / spatula brings out the productÄôs characteristics.
3. It is essential to use clean buckets and tools.

Application

1. ISOMIX ARMOGIPS is workable for approximately 35- 45 minutes when mixed with water. After that the product begins to set.
2. Dirty bowls and tools significantly reduce working time of the mixed product.

Plastering

1. At least two layers are required, depending on the quality requirements of the final work, while three will provide a better finish.
2. Fill the joints and approximately 40 Äì 50 minutes later, scrape and remove excess material.
3. Apply a second layer, with a big trowel in order to create a smooth surface between plasterboards.
4. If there are holes from the bolting screws, plaster these as well.
5. Caution: never use material that has started to set.
6. Any imperfections on the final surface can be improved with a float.
7. For wallpaper application it is advisable to use methyl cellulose based adhesives.
