Refer to Table 1 to determine the appropriate Thistle undercoatplaster and its recommended thicknessDetermine thickness required. Influencing factors include:- Finished dimensions of rooms- Thickness of grounds- Dimensions and positioning of joinery- Positioning of heating appliances and other fittings- Accommodation of services (minimum 5mm undercoat cover over conduits)- Fire resistance requirements- Where a bonding agent is required, the quoted thicknesses are the maximumConsider background preparation (see Installation details)● Choose preferred method of application (one coat or two / three coat, hand or machine)9421
www.british-gypsum.comPlaster systemsConstruction tips (cont’d)● Approximate coverages are given in Table 1 and Table 2●●●●●Check background for dampness. Thistle plasters should not be used to isolate dampness or be subjected tocontinuously moist or humid conditionsDetermine the routing of services. Conduits should be chased into the background if possible, should be of theminimum permissible dimensions and should avoid high spots in the backgroundInstall movement joints as required, corresponding with joints in the backgroundIn cold conditions, do not apply plasters to frozen backgrounds or allow them to freeze before fully set and dry.Remember that setting times of finishing plasters will be extended. Dry bagged plaster is not affected by coldtemperatures. When using Thistle Durafinish or Thistle Uni-Finish ambient and background temperature must bemaintained above 5ºC until fully dry to obtain the full performanceIn hot conditions, take precautions to avoid rapid ‘dry-out’ of the plaster, by dampening the background or, on veryhigh suction backgrounds, using Thistle GypPrime prior to plastering. Once set and dry, Thistle plasters are suitable foruse in temperatures up to 49ºC9● Never apply plaster where a damp background is a recurring problem422
