Nippoflex Skim Coat Putty

SURFACE PREPARATION 

• The surface must be clean and sound free from loose  particles, dirt, grease, wax, oil etc.
• For loose plaster  and damaged areas remove the defective materials and  re-plaster the area.
• If the climate condition is too hot,  windy & too dried surfaces, dampen dry surface before  application to avoid bubble formation at the  application.  

APPLICATION PROCEDURE 

• Add required amount of water to a bucket and mix with  SKIM COAT PUTTY (Usually around 5-8kg water for  20kg pack).
• For best results slowly  add powder to water by mixing.
• keep the mixture rest  for 3-5 min prior application.
• Mix thoroughly using a  slow speed electric drill fitted with paddle for few  minutes until desired homogeneous paste is achieved.
• Mix only sufficient compound for 1 hour working time. 
• Apply mixed SKIM COAT PUTTY with a hand trowel on clean and dust free surfaces.
• As the surface coat  hardens, trowel up the surface with a light flat toweling  action, to achieve a dense smooth finish.
• Nippoflex  skim coat putty can be applied in a layer ranging from 1  to 3 mm in thickness.
• After the first application keep  it drying for 3-4 hours and apply second coat.
• For the  hard drying keep it for 24 hours after the second coat  application.
• To obtain the smooth surfaces, sanding  should be required with 120 grid sandpaper.
• Once the  ECOFLEX has dried the final coats such as wall  primers and decorative paints can be applied.
