Installation Guide
1. Surface Preparation
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the wall 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 all surfaces of the furniture. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (15-30 degrees) to ensure an even application, particularly on edges and corners.
- Drying: Allow the first coat to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight, depending on humidity and temperature.
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 for a consistent, smooth finish. For a more textured or artistic look, vary the trowel strokes slightly.
- Burnishing: Once the second coat is partially dry but still workable, use a clean steel trowel to compress and smooth the surface, achieving a polished, sleek finish.
5. Finishing Touches
- Sanding: Once the plaster has fully dried, lightly sand the surface with 200-400 grit sandpaper to achieve the desired smoothness and finish.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the furniture thoroughly to remove any dust or debris from sanding.
6. Sealing the Surface
- Apply Presealer: To protect the plaster and ensure durability, apply two coats of Topciment Presealer. Let each coat dry for at least 4 hours before applying the next.
- Apply TopSealer Onecoat: Once the Presealer has dried (wait at least 12 hours), apply two coats of TopSealer Onecoat. This sealer provides additional protection against scratches, stains, and wear. For furniture that will be subjected to heavy use, such as tables or countertops, consider applying an additional coat of TopSealer 100 for maximum durability.
Tips for Success:
- Work on a Flat Surface: If possible, place the furniture on a flat, stable surface to ensure even application.
- Practice: If you’re new to applying plaster, practice on a spare piece of wood or a small section of the furniture first to perfect your technique.
- Environmental Conditions: Apply the coating in moderate temperatures and avoid high humidity for the best results.
