Surface Preparation

Grit Wash Plaster / Stone Crete plaster / Exposed Aggregate Plaster

Surface Preparation

For proper bonding the plaster should be rough. Marked by combing the surface with wavy lines using a wire brush or nail comb.
The base should be hard and properly cured for a minimum of 5 to 6 days.

Do’s And Don’ts

  • The walls to be finished should have proper Damp proofing Course (DPC) at plinth level, roof levels and parapet wall levels, to avoid any penetration of water. Parapet walls should have good coping blocks laid evenly
  • All down-take pipes must be checked at joints and particularly at junctions / braches to avoid seepage of water.
  • The walls must be clean and dry. After the removal of algae, leeches and any other organic growth, the spores should be killed with suitable fungicides.
  • Wooden floats or batons should not be used. This will help in protecting whiteness.
  • Plastering should not be done sun-facing during cloudy weather.

SUBSTRATE REQUIREMENTS

Balaji Wall Textures can be applied on any absorbent substrate which is Sound and Smooth. Like two coats sand faced cement plastered brick or concrete surfaces. With proper surface preparation, Balaji Wall Textures can also be applied on already painted two coats smooth sand faced cement plaster, Plywood, Particle Board, Plaster of Paris, gypsum board etc. The dough of Balaji Textures (dry material + bonding agent + water) when applied on a substrate, part of bonding agents gets absorbed by the substrate and when water evaporates from the surface the tailor-made acrylic co-polymer gets keyed into the pores of the substrate resulting in binding of the Balaji Textures on the substrate.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION FOR OLD PAINTED SUBSTRATE, PLYWOOD, PLASTER OF PARIS AND GYPSUM BOARD SUBSTRATES

Depending upon the type and nature of the substrates, the following substrate preparation methods should be adopted prior to the application of Balaji Texture Coatings.

Old Painted Substrate

If the substrate is already painted with distemper, plastic emulsion, lime washes, primer etc., such coating should be scraped using wire brush (wet / dry) followed by water washing. When the substrate is dry apply “Balaji Base Coat” and after 8 to 10 hrs of drying apply Balaji Texture as per the recommendations. Please scrape the surface as thoroughly as possible. In any event do not leave stubborn paint patch which is difficult to remove. Check the quality of the base substrate during the scraping process and ensure that it is sound enough.

Plywood Surfaces

Plywood when comes in contact with water leaches color and leaves stains on HST. To avoid this, a thin coat of the bonding agent should be applied on the plywood surface and allow it to dry for 8 to 10 hrs prior to the application of Balaji Textures. Please ask for additional quantity of Bonding Agent in such cases and do not adjust the bonding agent which is supplied along with the dry material.

Plaster Of Paris Substrates

Plaster of Paris surfaces are not sound, as they chalk out loose powder of Plaster of Paris easily, particularly when they come in contact with water. For all Plaster of Paris surfaces, Balaji Base Coat is applied and allow it to dry for 8 to 10 hrs, prior to the application of Balaji Textures. Gypsum Board Substrates : he joints of Gypsum Boards are normally sealed with “Plaster of Paris”. Hence, Balaji Base Coat should be used prior to the application of BWT.
