The smooth face of Glasroc F multiboard can be plastered with either Thistle BoardFinish, Thistle MultiFinish or Thistle DuraFinish. There should be a minimum of delay between completion of the lining and the commencement of plastering.
Gyproc jointing materials produce durable joint reinforcement and a smooth, continuous, crack-resistant surface ready for priming and final decoration. Use Gyproc Joint Cement for jointing Glasroc F multiboard.
Gyproc Joint Cement is trowel applied to the joint and Gyproc Joint Tape bedded in. Alternatively Thistle ProTape FT50 is applied over the joint and a coat of Gyproc Joint Cement is trowel applied. The joint treatment is allowed to dry and lightly sanded to remove any high spots. For internal angles the use of Gyproc Joint Tape is preferable to Thistle ProTape FT50. Its crease makes it easier to achieve a neat, straight joint with higher cracking resistance.
For external angles, Gyproc Corner Tape is used, bedded in Gyproc Joint Cement. A second coat of Gyproc Joint Cement is trowel applied and feathered out to about 200mm width on each side on the joint. The joint treatment is allowed to dry and lightly sanded. Gyproc Metal Drywall Angle Bead can be used but Gyproc Joint Filler must be used on the first two coats.
A third coat of Gyproc Joint Cement may be necessary, applied as the second coat and slightly wider e.g. where boards are fixed with any steps, gaps or minor damage. When the final application has dried and been sanded smooth, the surface is ready for decoration.
After the joint treatment has dried, decoration, including any decorator’s preparatory work, should follow with the minimum delay.
This product may be cut using a plasterboard saw or by scoring with a sharp knife and snapping the board over a straight edge. Holes for switch or socket boxes should be cut out before the boards are fixed using a utility saw or sharp knife.
Question:
