Both the coats should be applied in an opposite right-angled direction (if the first coat is applied in a top to bottom direction, the second coat is to be applied in a left to right direction). It is to be ensured that all the coating of the materials is to be done properly and a proper film of the material is created over the surface. Once the coating of Waterproofing Membrane is semi dry and has become tacky, subsequent Plaster works can begin.
Step 3: Application of Plaster using Ressi SBR 5850 and Silmix
A plaster comprising of a good ratio should be applied over the wall area. It is recommended to add Ressi SBR 5850 and Silmix into the plaster mix.

Subsequent treatment can be done over the wall.
Step 4: application of Paint Guard 10,000 C
Once the plastered surface has been cured properly, Paint Guard 10,000 C can be applied over it. It is a thin applied cementitious breathable plaster applied over thick plaster surfaces to give it a sooth finish. The suggested thickness should be at least 2mm. (Please refer to the product data sheet for further information).
Once the surface of Paint Guard 10,000 C has been dried out, Paint can be applied over it. It is suggested to apply a good quality water-based paint over the surface of Paint Guard 10,000 C.
