Application Conditions
-Ambient temperature should be between +5°C and +35°C
-Do not apply on frozen, melting surfaces, or surfaces likely to freeze within 24 hours.
-The newly applied surfaces must be protected against water contact definitely.
-Do not apply on surfaces under direct sun or strong wind, or hot surfaces.
Warnings and Advices
-Pay attention to the water/plaster ratio of the mix. Otherwise, it may cause spalling, cracks or strength reduction.
-Do not apply in very hot, dry or windy environments. If applied in very hot environments, it may cause spalling, cracks and strength reduction consequently.
-Pay attention to the product storing conditions. Do not keep the product in humid or very hot places.
-In case any petrification is found out in the bag, do not use the product.

Hand mixer
Application
1. The container in which the mortar will be prepared must be clean and cleared of the
remnants of the previous mixture.
2. The water used in the mixture should not be salty, acidic or oily. The water
temperature must be between 17 and 23°C.
3. The mortar must be prepared by using 7 kg of water and 10 kg of BGC Gypsum Plaster
Of Paris.
4. Water is poured into the container, and then BGC Gypsum Plaster Of Paris is added.
The plaster is given 2-3 minutes to absorb the water.
5. The plaster is mixed until a homogeneous consistency is achieved by mixing with a
trowel or hand mixer.
6. If a hand mixer is used, operate the hand mixer in low speed since the operating
speed can affect the setting time.
7. In the mixing container, the mortar is mixed until a homogeneous flowing consistency
is achieved.
8. No water or plaster should be added into the mortar during or after mixing to prevent
lump formation.
9. Do not mix any other product or materials into BGC Gypsum Plaster Of Paris.
10. The mold of the mortar must be cleaned and placed on a surface enabling to vibrate
the mold easily.
11. The mold surface is lubricated with an appropriate lubricant to ensure smooth removal
of the plaster from the mold.
12. The mortar is poured into the mold and ensured to cover the inside of the mold
completely.
13. Hemp is added if necessary to increase the strength.
14. The surroundings of the mold is cleaned when the plaster begins to set.
15. The plaster in the mold will begin to warm. After the warming period, the plaster is
unmolded.
16. The unmolded plaster is kept in the ambient temperature until it dries out. This will
prevent breakage and cracks during installation.
17. The mortar to be used in order to bond the mould can be prepared by using BGC
Gypsum Plaster Of Paris in the same way.
Storage Conditions
Bags must be stored in a dry place and to a height that does not exceed 18 bags. Bags must be stored so as not to contact with the ground in order them to be protected against humid. BGC Gypsum Plaster of Paris stored as described above must be used within 12 months as of the production date. Inappropriate storage or exceeding the expiry date may deteriorate the properties of the product.
