Recommended Application Practices
GYPSUM WALLBOARD
Surfaces, including joint-treated areas, must be smooth, clean
and dry. First apply a coat of sealing primer. Allow primer to dry
thoroughly, and maintain adequate drying conditions after application.
Primer is to minimize sagging of gypsum wallboard and discoloration
or difference in sheen on ceiling surface. Add dry texture to water.
Use a piston pump or Mono-type pump with a texture gun. Minimum
3/4" I.D. material hose. A hopper-type gun with adequate air supply
is also suitable. Typical coverage is 8-10 sq. ft. per lb. for aggregated
and 10-30 sq. ft. per lb. for nonaggregated textures. Mask appropriate
areas before spraying and promptly remove overspray from
unprotected surfaces afterward. Follow the instructions of the spray
equipment manufacturer for adjusting controls and cleaning. If a
second coat is desired, allow the first coat to dry thoroughly.
Note: For ceilings to receive water-based texture, apply minimum
1/2” gypsum board perpendicular to framing members spaced 16”
o.c. Apply minimum 1/2” sag-resistant or 5/8” gypsum board to
framing members spaced 16” o.c.
CONCRETE
Allow concrete to cure for at least 28 days. Clip protruding wire ends
and spot with rust-inhibitive primer. Remove all form oil, grease and
dirt, or any loose or water-soluble material. Grind down any form
ridges, and level any remaining unevenness with ProForm
®
Quick Set.
Apply a coat of alkali-resistant sealing primer over the entire surface
to be textured.
