Application

Apply basecoat of ArmourFill, AT Prime or ArmourTone Fine.

Spray ArmourTone Fine using typical drywall texturing equipment. For small areas a hopper and compressor may be used. For large scale projects a texture pump is preferable. Adjust gun orifice size and pressure settings to achieve the desired texture.

Use stainless steel plaster trowels or drywall knives to knock down the finish to achieve the desired final appearance.

AT Stain may be sprayed while the finish is still wet and troweled randomly into the finish to create a mottled appearance.

Note: Consult manufacturer for expanded application instructions including pressure settings and specific equipment recommendations.

Project Conditions

Substrate must be clean, dry, sound and free of contaminants such as dust, oil, mildew and effloresence.

Ambient conditions, substrate and the product itself must be at a minimum of 45°F during application and at least 48 hours following.

Mixing

Thoroughly mix with a paddle mixer to a homogeneous consistency at low rpm. In a 6 gallon container, up to 16 ounce of clan, potable water may be added to adjust viscosity. Close container when not in use.

Substrate Preparation

New Drywall

Treat all joints, fasteners & accessories with the industry standard joint treatment system for attaining a Level 3 finish as outlined in Gypsum Association publication GA-214, “Recommended Levels of Gypsum Board Finish.”

Masonry and Textured Surfaces

Concrete and plaster surfaces should be thoroughly cure before application. Poured concrete surfaces should cure for at least 28 days before finishing. Cement and gypsum plaster basecoats should cure for at least 7 days before finishing. Remove all form release agents and efflorescence and grind down form line or other irregularities which protrude from the plane of the substrate using ArmourTone Level Coat or an approved leveler.

Drying Time

The finish wil dry to the touch within 3-4 hours over
most substrates a n d ambient conditions. Avoid heavy traffic or cleaning for 48 hours after applica- tion. Protect from rain for a minimum of 24 hours per coat. Surface absorption, temperature and humidity affect drying time.
