How This Fits Into a Typical Job

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Ensure the area is clean, solid, and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants. If necessary, prime non-porous or mixed substrates with a bonding agent like Everbuild 503 SBR Bond or 507 Rendagrip.

4. Second Coat Application:
   • Depending on the desired final appearance, add a 5mm finishing coat. Smooth with a plastering trowel or float.
5. Alternative Finishing:
   • For base coat applications, apply a compact 15mm layer and texture for improved adhesion before installing tiles or brick slips.
