How to use

1. Prepare the area: remove loose material and dust; dampen the repair zone lightly to help the plaster adhere.
2. Mix: in a clean container, combine the powder with water to a smooth, peanut-butter-like consistency. Adjust with small amounts of powder or water until you reach the desired workability.
3. Apply: use a putty knife to fill holes, cracks, or damaged edges. Build up thin layers and feather the edges to blend with the wall surface.
4. Dry and finish: allow the repair to dry according to the product’s guidance and the thickness of the coat. Lightly sand for a seamless transition, then prime and paint as needed.
5. Repeat if necessary: for deeper repairs or skim coats, apply additional thin layers once the previous coat is fully dry.

Practical tips for best results

• Work in thin layers to minimize cracking and achieve a uniform finish.
• Lightly dampen the surface before application to improve adhesion on dusty or chalky areas.
• Store the unused portion in a dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the powder.
• For a flawless paint finish, seal repaired areas with a primer before applying your final topcoat.
