Mixing Process

• Always use clean tools.
• Do not mix with residue of previously used compounds.
• Inclusion of such materials will impair the performance of this product and void the product warranty.
• USG Boral Maxi Skim™ 88 may appear thick in the pail. Before adding water, lightly mix the product and test its application. If required, add water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Caution: Avoid over-thinning when adding water as this may cause cracking and excessive shrinkage.
• If liquid has separated from the compound, stir carefully to restore consistency.
• Caution: Do not overmix. Overmixing can introduce air bubbles, which can create surface imperfections.

Application Process

• Apply USG Boral Maxi Skim™ 88 in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Maintain a surface temperature above 13 °C on the working area during wall and ceiling finishing.
• Provide adequate ventilation to ensure proper drying.
• Wall and ceiling surfaces must be dry and free from dust, dry salts, oil, grease, or other sources of contamination. Smooth, glossy surfaces must be sanded and treated with a bonding agent.
• Lay the first coat of USG Boral Maxi Skim™ 88 to a minimum thickness of 2mm using a trowel, and grade to a flat, smooth surface. If an additional coat is required, allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
• Touch up remaining uneven area with USG Boral Maxi Skim™ 88 where required. Allow to fully dry before sanding.
• When sanding, use fine sandpaper (220 grit or higher) to avoid scratching the dry surface.
• Thoroughly clean all tools and equipment after use.

NOTE: All surfaces including applied joint compound require light sanding before painting.
