Installation Guide

1. Surface Preparation

  • Repair imperfections: Fill any cracks, gaps, or holes and smooth the surface, including
    filling grout lines between tiles. Ensure the surface is flat and smooth before moving
    on.
  • For Wet Areas: In areas regularly exposed to water (e.g. showers and bathtubs etc.) ensure that the waterproof membrane is intact before applying Mas Maya Coating.
  • Apply Primer: Use Mas Maya Primer to improve adhesion.
  • Apply Mesh (optional): If applying to tiles, wood, plastic or crumbling surfaces, lay Mas Maya Mesh on top of the Primer. Allow 30 minutes to partly dry.

2. Mix the Mas Maya Coating

  • Optional Pigment: If adding colour pigment, mix it evenly into the water before combining with the coating powder.
  • Mix Water and Coating: Add 1/3 liter of clean water for every kilogram of Mas Maya Coating powder.
  • Mixing Process: Stir the mixture by hand or with a mechanical drill until smooth and consistent, resembling yogurt. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes, then give it a final stir.

3. Application Process

First Layer:

  • Trowel Application: Use a steel trowel to apply a thin layer (~2 mm) across the surface, holding the trowel at a shallow angle (15-30°).
  • Mesh: If applying on top of Mas Maya Mesh (e.g. for Floors or Tiles), ensure the first layer completely covers the Mesh.

Second Layer:

  • Drying Time: Allow the first layer to dry until it is set but still slightly damp to the touch. This typically takes a few hours, depending on the climate.
  • Optional Water Mist: Lightly mist the surface with water to extend working time if needed.
  • Trowel Application: Apply the second coat with slightly overlapping strokes at different angles for a more organic finish.

Burnishing:

  • When to Burnish: Begin burnishing when the second coat is partially dry but still pliable.
  • Process: Lightly spray the material with water and rework it while applying pressure using a clean trowel. This will help create a smooth, polished finish.
  • Final Drying: Allow the material to dry overnight.

4. Finishing

  • Sanding: Use an orbital sander or fine-grit sandpaper (around 200 grain) to smooth and polish the surface.
  • Cleaning: Wipe down the surface to remove any dust.
  • Sealers: Most living areas don't require sealers applied to the walls or ceiling. However, you can apply Presealer and Sealer for additional protection from stains.
  • Apply Presealer (optional): Use two coats of Mas Maya Presealer, waiting 4 hours between coats.
  • Apply Sealer (optional): After 12 hours, apply two coats of Mas Maya Sealer with a short-hair roller.
  • Apply Heavy-Duty Sealer (optional): For maximum protection, apply an additional two coats of Mas Maya Heavy-Duty Sealer.
