Installation Guide
1. Surface Preparation
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and any loose materials.
- Repair Imperfections: Fill in any cracks or holes with Mas Maya Base.
- Apply Primer: Use Mas Maya Primer to improve adhesion. Apply evenly with a brush or roller and let it dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Mixing the Plaster
- Mixing Ratio: Combine Mas Maya Coating powder with clean water at a ratio of ⅓ liter of water per kilogram of powder.
- Mixing Process: Mix thoroughly using a mechanical drill with a mixing paddle. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then stir again until the consistency is similar to yogurt.
3. Application of the First Coat
- Apply First Coat: Using a steel trowel, apply a thin, even layer of 2 mm across the bathroom walls, floor, or other surfaces. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (15-30 degrees) to ensure even coverage.
- Drying: Allow the first coat to dry overnight, ensuring the area is protected from moisture during this time.
4. Application of the Second Coat
- Dampen the Surface: Lightly mist the surface with water to extend the plaster's working time.
- Apply Second Coat: Apply the second layer similarly to the first, using overlapping strokes to create a smooth, even finish. Vary the trowel strokes slightly for a textured or organic look if desired.
- Burnishing: Once the second coat is partially dry but still pliable, use a clean steel trowel to compress and smooth the surface, achieving the desired polished finish.
5. Finishing Touches
- Sanding: After the plaster has fully dried, lightly sand the surface with 200-400 grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth, polished finish.
- Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the surface to remove any dust or debris from sanding.
6. Sealing the Surface
- Apply Presealer: To protect the plaster from water and humidity, apply two coats of Topciment Presealer. Allow each coat to dry for at least 4 hours before applying the next.
- Apply TopSealer Onecoat: After the Presealer has dried (wait at least 12 hours), apply two coats of TopSealer Onecoat. This sealer provides additional water resistance and durability, essential for bathrooms. For high-humidity areas, such as showers, apply an extra coat of TopSealer 100 for maximum protection.
Tips for Success:
- Work in Sections: Apply the plaster in smaller sections to avoid it drying too quickly, which can lead to visible seams.
- Practice: If you’re new to applying plaster, practice on a spare board or a small section first to perfect your technique.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid applying the coating in extreme temperatures or high humidity. Moderate temperature and low humidity are ideal for application.
