HP12 Base Coat Applications

Substrate Adaptability:

• Designed for tricky substrates like dense block, unpainted render, and brickwork.
• Pairs perfectly with K Rend R7 Primer for maximum efficacy on such surfaces.
• Specifically suited as a primary coat for preparation of subsequent layers - should be ruled off to a flat finish.
• K-Rend Base Coat is typically used as a single layer, serving as a foundation for finishes. It should be levelled to a smooth texture and gently scratched to ensure a proper key for the next coat.

Application Guidelines:

• Can serve as a stipple coat or for dense backgrounds.
• Ensure uniform level by straightening with a Darby or straight edge.
• Form a light key only.
• Recommended 24-hour curing period between applications, unless specified otherwise.
• For unusual substrates, technical advice is recommended.
• Scratch coats require the inclusion of water and a brief five minutes of mixing time.
