• Allow freshly applied render basecoats a minimum of 14 days before work commences
• Prime walls using Primer TC colour co-ordinated to topcoat and allow 24 hours drying time for primer before applying topcoat
• Stir bucket contents thoroughly using a slow speed mixer. A small amount of water can be mixed with the product to achieve the best working consistency
• Apply the product to the thickness of the largest grain size using a stainless steel float; allow to take up slightly.The surface is then rubbed up in a circular motion using a plastic float to create the texture
• Complete continuous surfaces without interruption, working to a wet edge at all times
• Drying times may be prolonged by lower temperatures and/or high humidity
• The fresh render must be protected from rain and from drying too fast
