Application Tools
Hand mixer, trowel and steel trowel
Application
1. The container in which the mortar will be prepared must be clean and cleared of the
remnants of the previous mixture.
2. It is necessary to pay attention to cleanliness of the water and materials used. The
water temperature must be between 17 and 230C.
3. The mortar must be prepared by using 6.25-6.75 liters of water and 10 kg of BGC
Gypsum Backfill Seam Plaster.
4. Water is poured into the container, and then BGC Gypsum Backfill Seam Plaster 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 pasty consistency is
achieved.
8. Do not mix any other product or materials into BGC Gypsum Backfill Seam Plaster.
9. No water or plaster should be added into the mortar during or after mixing.
10. The mortar ready for the application is applied using a clean trowel. The spaces
between the wall joints and plasterboards are filled through a pre-filling process. The joint tapes are placed as aligned to the centerline of the boards before the application.
11. The first coat of the homogeneous mixture is applied on the joint tape, and this coat is smoothed after drying out. The second coat is applied on the plasterboard. After the surface has dried, it is sandpapered.
12. The surface is finished with BGC Gypsum Satin Finish Plaster.
13. After the application, the surface becomes smooth, bright and ready for painting.
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 Backfill Seam Plaster 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.
