GARNISH WALL PUTTY (WHITE CEMENT BASED)
Garnish Wall Putty {white cement based} is a water-resistant white cement-based polymer putty which can be used on concrete/mortar walls (internal and external) and ceilings. Being water-resistant, it provides a protective base for your expensive paints. It has more adhesive strength, providing a surface. It can even be applied on freshly plastered walls, thus saving time and cost. During repainting, the surface done with GARNISH WALL PUTTY requires minimum scrubbing thus eliminating the mess of dust, which is a health hazard, especially for asthmatic patients. It fills the fine pores of walls and ceilings and provides a white, smooth and dry surface for painting. Garnish Wall Putty can be applied even on moist surfaces (Internal/External).
Surface Preparation
Remove all loosely adhering material from the wall surface with the help of sandpaper, a putty blade or a wire brush. The substrate should be clean, and free from dust, grease and loose materials. Moisten the wall with a sufficient quantity of clean water before applying Garnish Wall Putty.
Pre-wetting of the Substrate
The surface must be aptly wet before the application of the Cement Putty. This ensures easy workability, higher coverage and higher bonding strength with the surface.
Mixing
Mix Garnish Wall Putty with 30-35% clean water slowly to make a paste. Water must be added to the putty to make a mix and not vice versa. Continue the mixing for 10–15 minutes till a uniform paste is formed. It is very important that the mixing of the putty should be done throughout. This will help in easy application, obtaining more coverage and smooth uniform shade. Only prepare a quantity which can be used within 2–3 hours of mixing with water.
Application on surface
After thoroughly mixing Garnish Wall Putty, apply the first coat on the moistened wall surface from bottom to upward direction uniformly with the aid of a putty blade. This would ensure minimum wastage and proper finish. After drying the first coat of putty, rub the surface gently with a wet sponge or very gently with the putty blade to remove the loose particles. Allow the surface to dry for at least 4–6 hours and then apply a second coat of putty. Leave the surface to dry completely. After drying the second coat, remove any type of marks with the help of a moist sponge or rub the surface very gently with the putty blade. Leave the surface to dry, preferably overnight or 10–12 hours. Always prepare a required quantity of putty and use it within 2–3 hrs of mixing with water. The total thickness of the coats should be limited to a maximum of 1.5 mm. It is not necessary to rub the putty surface with “Garnish Wall Putty”. However, if there is a need to remove unevenness before applying any kind of paint/distemper, gently level the surface with very fine waterproofing emery paper of not less than 500 numbers till you get a glossy white surface.
