Preparation of Joints 

Taping:

 •  Mix sufficient Wondertex compound for immediate use – details on packaging for typical usable time once product is mixed.
 •  Apply the Wondertex compound to the joints
 •  Press White Jointing Tape firmly into the material with caulker and remove excess material.
 •  Immediately tape is in place apply a pre- caulking layer flush with the board surface.
 •  Allow the pre-caulking layer to firm (not dry).

Caulking:

 •  Apply caulking coat.
 •  Ensure tape edges are eliminated.
 •  Fill nail heads flush with board. 
 •  When caulking material is firm to the touch apply texture coat.
 •  If caulking is allowed to dry, a coat of sealer is required before applying texture coat. (The product is best when caulking is not allowed to dry).
 
 
 

Preparation of surface

 •  Ensure surfaces are clean and free from dust.
 •  Ensure plasterboard is dry before you start.
 •  Apply texture coat.
      

Special Conditions

In the event of a hot environment (ie hot weather, heated work area etc.)  the pre-caulking area may dry too quickly.  If this should occur we recommend the whole surface is treated with WonderTex Sealer prior to caulking.
