SAFETY FIRST!
Follow good safety practices.
Read material safety data
sheets and related literature on
products before specification
and/or installation.

Do not apply the finish coat until after the fill coat has developed sufficient suction. In good drying weather this
takes about two hours after the fill coat has set; in damp and/or cold weather the time interval might extend
overnight. Thus proper heat and ventilation should be provided. Apply a finish coat of job-sanded D

IAMOND

Brand

Interior Finish Plaster to provide a total thickness of 3/8

Љ.

Apply job-sanded D

IAMOND

Brand Interior Finish Plaster (no less than 1/4 to 1 parts by weight sand per bag of prod-

uct) to a finish thickness between 1/16

Љ minimum and 3/32Љ maximum. Scratch in a tight thin coat over the entire

area, immediately doubling back to the full thickness. Fill all voids and imperfections. Scratch and double back with
the same mix of D

IAMOND

Brand Interior Finish Plaster. When the surface has become firm, hold the trowel flat and

final trowel using water sparingly. Do not over-trowel. Best results are obtained by continuous application over the
entire ceiling. Always work to a wet edge to avoid dry joinings.

Cleanup

Clean mixing containers and tools with water immediately after use. Tightly close partially used containers. When
machines are shut down, they should be hosed off and thoroughly cleaned—made ready for a fresh start. Remove
all scaffolding, empty containers and excess materials from the job site. Sweep the floors and be sure to leave the
building and site in good condition for decoration and finishing.
