HOW TO USE "VOTAK"
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface (concrete, plaster, gypsum board, etc.) must befree from dust, oil, oil stains, resin, rust spots, water based paints, leftover of old wall paper, marks of leaking water. To prevent rust dots, it is very important to prime metal objects (nails, fittings) with waterproof coatings (paint, primer, cement, plaster etc.)
PREPARE COTTON PLASTER
Thoroughly shake the contents of the package, then pour it into a plastic container and carefully mix the contents by hand. Add clean warm water (35-45 °С).
Approximate amount of water needed for 1 pack (1 kg of plaster:5 to 7 liters of water (if you are using palette-knife or roller for making wall covering) or 10 to 12 liters of water (if you use Industrial spray gun for making wall covering).
DO NOT add the full amount of water at once! First add about 5 liter/bag, mixing it thoroughly. If the mix seems too heavy and thick, add more water gradually in 1/2 to 1.0 liter amounts, constantly mixing all the time, till a well balanced mix is achieved.
Let mix stand for 2 to 4 hours to obtain the best result of the glue dissolving in the mix and setting in completely.
APPLYING YOUR WALL COVERING
By Hand
Spread the paste onto the area to be applied by hand. Start with a small area. Using plastic or rustproof palette knife, level the mix over the wall to a thickness of 1mm to 2 mm evenly, using slight pressure. Once surface is level, use a short fleeced roller to roll over the surface to give it a natural look when fully dry. If the surface is dry, sprinkle some water on the roller. Do not press too hard as it may cause the surface to become uneven.
By Spray Gun
If you are using a spray gun for the wall covering, use and control the spraying according to the spray machine instructions. To make surface even after spraying, smooth the surface by a textured roller with very light pressure, about 2 hours after spraying.
The finished wall covering will dry completely in about 24 to 48 hours.
The contents of 1 pack with well applied smooth surface will cover approximately 4.50m2 to 5.00 m2 by hand and up to 8.00m2 by spray gun
