Application Method

1. Surface Preparation:
Before applying the plaster, the substrate (fair-faced concrete or block work) must be prepared to ensure high-quality adhesion.

• Clean: Remove all dust, loose particles, wood pieces, mold oil, grease, and curing compounds. Use a wire brush if necessary.

• Neutralize (Suction Control): The foundation should be thoroughly neutralized by applying potable water.

• Dampen: Hose the surface with clean water before application. Allow free water to disperse; the surface should be damp but not dripping.

• Roughen: For brick walls, create a rough surface to enhance adhesion.

2. Mixing:

• Mix the plaster according to instructions to create a premixed cement-based mortar.

3. Application:

• MG (MGPT) Plaster can be applied in one coat to a thickness of 8–20 mm.

• Finish the surface by felting or floating.

• If using a spray machine, apply in a continuous operation and finish manually to the required thickness (meeting requirements of BSEN13914-1 & BSEN13914-2).

Storage
