Can Mas Maya Coating Be Used on Gotele?
Yes, Mas Maya Coating can be used on Gotelé (textured walls). Its strong adhesion properties and versatility make it suitable for covering Gotelé surfaces, providing a smooth and elegant finish. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply Mas Maya Coating to Gotelé:
1. Surface Preparation:
- Remove all nails and repair any cracks or damaged areas on the Gotelé surface using Mas Maya Base. Ensure the surface is as smooth and flat as possible before applying Mas Maya Coating.
- Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or loose particles.
- Apply Mas Maya Primer (puente de unión) to the Gotelé surface to enhance adhesion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying time. The surface should feel tacky to the touch once the primer is dry.
2. Mixing:
- Mix the Mas Maya Coating powder with clean water, using a ratio of 0.5 liters of water per kilogram of powder.
- Use a mechanical drill to mix the powder and water until a smooth, yoghurt-like texture is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before use.
3. Application:
- First Layer:
- Using a steel plaster trowel, apply a thin, even coat of approximately 1.5-2mm of Mas Maya Coating across the entire Gotelé surface. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (about 15-30 degrees) for best results.
- Let the first layer dry overnight in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight for best results.
- Second Layer:
- Apply the second layer of Mas Maya Coating in a similar manner to the first, maintaining an even thickness. After applying, allow it to partially dry before lightly spraying the surface with water. Burnish it with a steel trowel to create a smooth finish.
- Allow the second layer to dry fully overnight.
4. Finishing:
- Sanding:
- Once the coating is dry, sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 200 grain) to achieve a smooth finish.
- Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust.
- Optional Sealing:
- For added durability and water resistance, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas, apply a coat of sealer as the final protective layer.
Mas Maya Coating's natural composition, breathability, and strong adhesion properties make it an ideal choice for covering Gotelé, providing a smooth, elegant, and durable finish suitable for various interior applications.
