Everbuild 505 Plasterers Gripcoat is a specialised primer designed to improve plaster adhesion on challenging surfaces.

Who This Product Is For

This primer is for plasterers, tradespeople, and serious DIYers undertaking plastering work. It suits residential, commercial, and renovation projects where surface preparation is needed before skim coating.

Key Features

• Contains fine aggregates suspended in gel to provide a superior plaster key
• Formulated for easy use with a brush or roller sleeve, giving even distribution
• Works effectively on a wide range of surfaces, including glossy paints, fireboards, and textured finishes
• Eliminates the need for meshing or heavy surface preparation, reducing labour time
• Blue colour gives consistent application visibility and avoids missed areas
• Simplifies surface preparation by creating a reliable bonding layer for plaster
• Reduces time spent on manual surface keying or additional treatments
• Minimises suction, keeping plaster workable for longer on porous materials

Practical Applications

The Everbuild 505 Plasterers Gripcoat prepares:

• Smooth surfaces like ceramic tiles or glossy paint for over-skimming
• Pre-cast concrete, MDF, or waterproof plasterboards for a strong skim coat bond
• Blockwork and screeds to manage suction, supporting consistent plaster application
• Textured or uneven finishes for improved adhesion and smoother results

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

Applied during surface preparation before plastering. It creates a bonding layer that improves adhesion of skim coats to challenging substrates. Used after cleaning surfaces and before applying plaster, with drying time allowing work to proceed to the next stage.

Specifications

• Surface Preparation: Clean area thoroughly, removing dust, grease, or loose material. Surface must be dry before application
• Mixing: Stir the product well to give even consistency. No additional mixing agents required
• Application: Use a roller or brush to apply a single coat evenly across the surface
• Drying Time: Typically 4-6 hours, depending on ambient conditions
• Post-Application: Once dry, proceed with plastering process. A plastering trowel helps lay on the skim coat smoothly
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Keep lid tightly sealed after use
• Tool Maintenance: Clean tools immediately after application to prevent residue build-up

Tips

This product is designed for interior use on appropriate substrates. Always test on a small area first if uncertain about surface compatibility. Follow manufacturer guidelines for optimal results.
