Polycell 20218 1 L Ready Mixed Tub Finishing Skim Polyfilla - Grey

Product Information

A glossy wallpaper decoration requires a more advanced surface finishing than a tile covering or heavy texture. But how can you determine which drywall finishing level a specific job requires? The European Q classification provides guidance. It helps you to assess which quality level – or Q level – of drywall finishing is required, and what each of these four Q levels involves. Clarity on which Q level to expect also avoids discussions and misunderstandings about the end result delivered. Repeat the above process of scooping and apply plaster until the wall or area you’re working on has a full coating of around 1.5 – 2mm.

If possible the mixing and movement should continue while the powder is being added as this will help prevent any lumps forming, as in the image above. This can only really be done as the plaster is getting hard, as if you try and do it when it’s still soft, you’ll just end up moving it around the wall as opposed to actually smoothing it. Every subsequent mix you make should match this consistency and also the amount it slumps as this will signify that the mixes are the same. Sweep and remove dust: Once scraped over, use a stiff bristled brush to brush the entire surface over and remove any remaining dust or debrisClear room, protect floors: Finally before getting going you will need to clear out any moveable furniture and items from the room you’re plastering and anything that can’t be moved, including any floors, should be covered with suitable dust sheets. Laying on plaster is a messy jobs it can go everywhere so ensure all surfaces are suitably protected To test when it’s ready, gently press your thumb into the plaster. It’s ready to go when your thumb only leaves a very slight depression and a feint finger print.

For both options, once the bonding coat has dried it's time to apply the finishing skim. This can be applied over the bonding coat, the existing plaster and the plasterboard. As well as using plasterboard to fill a small hole to the corner of my window (as seen in the above picture), I also used plasterboard to one side of a window opening, like so:In ideal conditions e.g. a standard family home with central heating, it will probably be dry enough to start taking trowel marks out 20 – 25 minutes after it was first laid on, so you don’t get long! Q3 prepares drywall surfaces for fine structured wall coverings and paint coatings, as well as top coats with a particle size below 1 mm.
