Additional Information
Mixing Process
- Always use clean, cold water, tools, and containers.
- Do not mix with residue of previously used compounds; use of dirty tools or containers may affect product performance.
- Always add EasyJoint™ to water (5kg of powder to 2.5kg of water).
- Mix only enough EasyJoint™ to be used immediately.
- Mix by hand or with a power mixer (max 400rpm) until a workable paste has been achieved.
- Caution: Do not overmix. Overmixing can introduce air bubbles, which can create surface imperfections and reduce working time.
- Once the compound has begun to set the material cannot be remixed and must be discarded.
Application Process
- Surfaces must be clean and free from dust.
- The use of paper tape such as USG Boral Sheetrock® Paper Joint Tape is recommended.
- Ensure that there is sufficient compound under the paper tape to provide adhesion.
- Each coat of EasyJoint™ compound must be allowed to set thoroughly before applying the next coat.
- Thoroughly clean all tools and equipment after use.
