A masonry render system for smoothing and texturing off form concrete. The system provides a hard durable surface which when painted is waterproof and easier to maintain than a standard painted wall.
Application
Substrate
Concrete should be fully cured and dry.
Preparation
Surface should be clean and dry. Dags and proud areas should be ground down. A single coat of Masons Plastaseal Sealer should then be applied to the whole wall to assist with controlling suction during plaster application.
Filling
Hollow and voids must be filled with PlastaTek™ Meshing Plaster. These filled areas can be sanded the next day but it is preferable to fill level as the plaster will be hard and difficult to sand.
Flushing
Basecoat, lightweight basecoat or skimming render can be applied tightly in a thin application to ensure plaster is forced into the surface and then brought out to a flat finish with extra product.
Texturing

Accessories
PVC corner beads can be used to form straight corners.
