Usage Instructions
Surface Preparation
The surface should be sound, clean, and free from loose
material, grease, laitance, dirt-curing compounds, etc.
Mixing
For mechanical mixing, add 7.5-8.8 litres of water to the
mixing container for each 20kg bag of Gypsum Joint
Compound. Mix using an automatic plaster mixer or a low-
speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until you
achieve a uniform, lump-free consistency.
Leave the mixture to stand for 10 minutes, then briefly remix
it without the addition of water.
Mix small batch quantities manually for approx. 1-2 min, or
until achieving a homogenous mix.
When required, add 0.5 litres of Vetobond AB432 to the
mixing water and adjust the water requirement for each
20kg bag accordingly. Follow the same mixing procedure.
Use the material within 2-3 hours. Do not add water once
the mixed filler mortar begins to stiffen or harden.
Application
Generally, apply Gypsum Joint Compound in a single coat.
Spread the Gypsum Joint Compound to the area with a
wide spatula while filling and pressing firmly into the joints.
Place joint tape over the joints with a small spatula, spread
the excess compound over the joint tape, and level it
smoothly to the surface while edging out to the sides. After
hardening, smooth rub the joints to the desired finish.
Apply Gypsum Joint Compound manually as a skim coat on
top of the gypsum board to achieve a uniform soft surface
layer.
Curing
Gypsum Joint Compound sets and cures on its own at room
temperature.
Cleaning
Clean all tools with water immediately after finishing. Clean
hardened materials mechanically.
Stated consumption data are for general guidance. Actual
consumption depends on the nature of the substrate,
method of application, and wastage.
Shelf Life & Storage
The original sealed container of Vetonit Gypsum Joint
Compound has a shelf life of 12 months, provided it is stored
clear of ground in a dry, shaded place at a temperature
below 35°C.
