• Old enamel, paint or plaster is completely removed.
• The coating is cleaned with a dry or wet method.
• Mold surfaces are rinsed under pressure with a stream of water and then with a special Capatox compound.
• Dried well.

To prepare the material you need:

• Thoroughly mix the contents of the packaging with a special mixer with a low speed of the tool.
• If necessary, diluted with water to the required consistency:

1. with manual application - a maximum of 2%;
2. when spraying - no more than 5%.

Features of coating

For work, you can use a trowel or a special spray for plasters with fine grain.

• The composition is uniformly structured in a circle with a polyurethane or plastic spatula.
• Decorative grooved plaster should be distributed in a circle, in the vertical and horizontal direction.
• The choice of tool affects the surface contour, this requires the work to be done with a structuring tool.
• Depending on the grain size, the nozzle diameter for spraying is selected.
• The optimum pressure is from 0.3 to 0.4 MPa.
• Particular attention should be paid to uniform, without overlapping, application of the material when moving from one level to the next.

The use of natural pigments can cause slight variations in the shade of the color of decorative plaster.

The work procedure includes:

• The whole mixture is thoroughly mixed with a stirrer. The main condition is that the speed of the device should not be high.
• The mixture must not be diluted.
• The surface is primed with a composition corresponding to the color of the plaster. In the absence of a mixture of the desired color, tinting is carried out.
• For application, it is better to use a roller with a short pile. It must first be soaked in a special composition, and then try to roll the tool in an empty place on the wall. This will provide better impregnation of the Caparol mixture.
• After a while, you should use a soft brush, which will create better drying conditions, and ensure a smooth working surface.

Kaparol brand plaster is applied to the surface in several stages:

• The mixture is applied evenly on the wall surface. Everyone chooses a material consumption independently. In places where the roller does not reach, a special brush is used.
• The coating is smoothed using a special brush with a soft surface. This stage is carried out 15 minutes after coating the main coating layer.
• After complete drying of the Kaparol coating, the surface acquires the final appearance, which will meet all the requirements.
