1

Remove all skirtings and architraves which cover any contaminated plaster. Remove all damp and/or salt contaminated plaster to a height no less than 300 mm above the maximum level of visual rising damp.

2

Remove any timber fixing grounds that are present in the masonry, then proceed with the application of Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream or Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods as per normal.

Dryzone Hi-Lime Renovation Plaster should be mixed with a drill mixer. Pour 5.5 litres of water into a container, then slowly add all the plaster to the mix. Start mixing the product at a low speed to minimise dust generation. As the paste begins to form, the mixing speed may be increased. Mixing should take around 3-4 minutes until smooth.

4

For particularly high suction or dry backgrounds, first wet down the surface using clean water. Do not use other additives such as PVA. Dryzone renovation plasters are applied in two layers. The first layer is a rough coat of 5 - 10 mm thickness. This will act as an anchoring layer for the second layer, which should not be applied until the rough coat has become sufficiently firm.

5

Apply the second layer of Dryzone Hi-Lime Renovation Plaster to a minimum thickness of 15 mm. For more specific application instructions, please refer to the product datasheet.

6

Level the plaster with a simple straight edge or adjusters to maintain the thickness without using excessive pressure on the product.

Dryzone Hi-Lime Plaster can be left as a decorative finish. Any other finishing (e.g. application of a skim coat) is carried out once the curing process is complete, after at least 14 days. Dryzone Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint can also be used as a finish.
