SURFACE PREPARATION
Concrete and masonry surfaces:
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of frost, damage, releasing agents, including dirt, efflorescence, form oil and other foreign matter. Loose or damaged material must be removed by water blasting, sandblasting or mechanical wire brushing and repaired. Avoid application over irregular surfaces. Resurface, patch or level surfaces to required tolerance and smoothness with appropriate Decoplast leveling materials.

Exterior Insulation and Finish Decoplast Systems (EIFS):
Surface must be free of all releasing agents. Gypsum wallboard surfaces: Wallboard must be taped and fasteners spotted with joint compound. Surface must be free of dust, dirt and releasing agents. Prime with appropriate Decoplast Primer.

Decoplast recommends priming cementitious substrates using Decoplast primer prior to application of finish.

MIXING
Mix with a clean, rust-free electric drill and paddle to a uniform consistency. A small amount of clean water may be added to aid workability. Limit addition of water to amount needed to achieve the finish texture. Additives are not permitted. Close container when not in use. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

APPLICATION
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces. Trowel: Apply Decoplast Textured Finish with a clean stainless steel trowel to a rough thickness slightly more than the largest aggregate size. Apply the finish keeping thickness uniform. Maintain a wet edge on Decoplast Textured Finish by applying and texturing continually over the wall surface. Work Decoplast Textured Finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks. Do not allow material to set up within an uninterrupted wall area. Achieve final texture by floating with the appropriate trowel.
Note: Decoplast Ispica (Freestyle) Finish requires two coats.

Spray:
Decoplast Textured Finishes can be applied with a gravity-feed sprayer, texture spray pump machine, or other appropriate equipment. To ensure full coverage of the surface, apply in an even coat. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS check color for proper match. Apply coating continuously, maintain a wet edge to eliminate cold joints. Work Decoplast Textured Finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks. Avoid application in direct sunlight. Protect installed product from rain, freezing, and continuous high humidity until completely dry.

Curing/Drying
Decoplast Textured Finishes dry within 24 –72 hours under normal conditions [70°F (21°C), 50% RH]. Drying time varies with temperature, humidity and surface conditions.

Clean Up
Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Remove dried material From tools and equipment mechanically.
