Application
Essential for all applications:
- Ensure substrates are clean, dry, and free of loose material before application.
- Test a small area to verify compatibility with your materials prior to full use.*
- Avoid using on contaminated surfaces, in extreme environments, or under unusual conditions.
- Do not store or operate in temperature extremes.
Preparation
Gently support sagging ceiling areas back to their proper position and secure loose plaster. Ensuring all ceiling sections are carefully held in place before installation is crucial, but avoid forcing plaster to prevent further damage.
For severe sagging, cracking, or plaster that cannot be stabilised easily, we can put you in touch with the technical team at Lime Green to discuss customised solutions for larger areas. They will recommend suitable methods and systems to ensure a durable repair.
