Sika Blue Grit is a high quality plaster bonding agent designed for challenging preparation tasks, providing a mechanical key to smooth and non-porous surfaces for strong plaster adhesion.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for both trade professionals and serious DIY users who need to prepare surfaces that resist conventional plastering methods. It serves those working on renovation projects, property maintenance, or new construction where reliable substrate preparation is required.

It suits jobs involving plaster application to difficult surfaces such as painted walls, glazed tiles, concrete, or non-traditional materials like MDF and particle boards.

Key Features

• Mechanical Key Support: Offers reliable adhesion on smooth or low-suction surfaces.
• Effortless Application: Apply using a brush or roller directly from the tub without thinning.
• Tracking Made Simple: The distinctive blue coating helps prevent missed spots during application.
• One-Coat Efficiency: Reduces effort and time by delivering optimal results with a single application.
• Long-lasting Bond Strength: Tested to meet demanding standards for long-lasting performance.

Practical Applications

The Febond Blue Grit is perfect for use in a variety of surface preparation scenarios:

• Preparing smooth substrates such as painted walls and glazed tiles before plastering.
• Applying non-traditional materials like MDF, pre-cast concrete, and particle boards.
• Improving plaster adhesion on glass and plastic laminates.

Its flexible nature supports strong performance across many materials and environments.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is used during the preparation stage of plastering work, applied after surface cleaning but before plaster application. It creates the necessary mechanical key on challenging surfaces where standard plaster would not adhere properly.

The system involves applying a single coat of Blue Grit, allowing it to dry for at least 24 hours, then proceeding with standard plaster application using conventional plastering tools.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Keep the surface clean, dust-free, and free of frost or release agents.
   • Confirm that the substrate offers suitable support for the plaster layer.
2. Stirring:
   • Mix the product thoroughly before use to achieve a consistent texture.
3. Application:
   • Use a short pile roller fitted with a solvent-resistant roller sleeve, or a brush, to apply an even, single coat.
   • Maintain ambient and surface temperatures above 5°C during application.
4. Drying Time:
   • Allow at least 24 hours for the coat to dry thoroughly before plastering.
   • After drying, apply plaster with a plastering trowel for a smooth finish.
5. Cleaning:
   • Remove splashes immediately with warm, soapy water before drying. Protect adjacent areas during application.
6. Note:
   • Drying time may extend in colder conditions; allow good ventilation for the best results.
