Application Method

Position the tape and spread the plaster along each joint. To minimise the risk of cracking, it is important to ensure that the plaster is pushed through the tape well into any gaps in the between the plasterboards. Apply plaster to the plasterboard surface and joints with firm pressure after the joint treatment has stiffened but not set. Build out to a 2mm thickness in two applications, wet-on-wet and trowel to a smooth matt finish. Use water sparingly and only in the latter stages of trowelling.
