Can Mas Maya Coating Be Used on Plasterboard?

Yes, Mas Maya Coating can be used on plasterboard. It offers excellent adhesion and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including plasterboard. Here's how to apply it:

  1. Surface Preparation:
    • Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles.
    • Repair: Use Mas Maya Base to repair any cracks or holes in the surface. Also, ensure any grouting and gaps between plasterboard panels are filled for a smooth, even surface before applying Mas Maya Coating.
    • Primer (if needed): Apply Mas Maya Primer to enhance adhesion, especially on non-porous surfaces or areas where extra bonding is required. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.
  2. Mixing:
    • Ratio: Mix the Mas Maya Coating powder with clean water at a ratio of 1/3 liter of water per kilogram of powder.
    • Mixing Process: The powder can be mixed by hand or with a mechanical drill. Mix the powder and water until a smooth, yogurt-like texture is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before use.
  3. Application:
    • First Coat:
      • Using a steel plaster trowel, apply a thin, even coat of approximately 2mm of Mas Maya across the entire plasterboard surface. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (about 15-30 degrees) for best results.
      • Let the first coat dry until firm, which typically takes a few hours.
    • Second Coat:
      • Lightly spray the surface with water to extend the working time.
      • Apply the second coat in a similar manner to the first, but use varied, slightly overlapping trowel strokes at different angles for a more organic finish.
      • Allow the second coat to dry overnight.
  4. Finishing:
    • Burnishing/Polishing:
      • Once the final coat is partially dry but still pliable, begin burnishing by pressing firmly with a clean steel trowel in short, overlapping strokes at varying angles to create a polished, marbled sheen. If more working time is needed, spray the surface lightly with water.
      • Let the coating dry fully overnight.
    • Sanding:
      • Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 200 grain) until the desired smooth, polished finish is achieved.
      • Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust.
  5. Sealing (Optional):
    • Protection: For areas exposed to water, apply a sealer for added water resistance and durability, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
