General
Quick Set Lite is used for nishing joints on exterior sot board and
gypsum panel products in sheltered exterior ceiling and sot areas. It is
not recommended for use in exterior application on walls.
Installation of Quick Set Lite should be consistent with methods
described in the noted standards and references and as indicated
below. In cold weather (outside temperature below 50°F [10°C]),
temperatures within the building should be maintained at a minimum
50°F (10°C), both day and night, during joint nishing. Adequate
ventilation should be provided to eliminate excess moisture.
Conventional Taping And Finishing
Taping: Fill joint and bed tape simultaneously. All at gypsum board joints
are to be lled and taped in one operation with Quick Set Lite, using
ProForm
TM
Paper Joint Tape in the conventional manner.
All inside corners may be taped using appropriate joint compounds.
Quick Set Lite is used for the rst coat on nail or screw heads and
will decrease problems with fastener imperfections. If a two-trip
application method is desired, Quick Set Lite may also be used for the
rst coat on cornerbead and for taping inside corners.
First nishing coat: As soon as Quick Set Lite used for taping has
hardened, the rst nishing coat may be applied on the at joints
even before they are dry. Any joint compound may be used for this
operation, including Quick Set Lite and ProForm ready mix joint
compounds. A second coat may be applied at this time to nail or screw
heads; one coat on one side of the inside corners and a second coat on
cornerbead if Quick Set Lite was used for the rst coat.
