Materials You'll Need:
Mondo Skimcoat SK-1
Trowel or putty knife
Sandpaper (120-grit)
Bucket of water
Clean cloth or sponge
Step 1: Prepare the Surface Before applying Mondo Skimcoat, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust, dirt, or debris. If there are any cracks or holes, fill them with joint compound or spackle and let them dry completely.
Step 2: Mix the product. In a clean bucket, Mix 10 parts MONDO Skimcoat SK-1 1 to 3.5 - 4 parts of clean tap water (20kg bag MONDO SK-1 to 7.50-8 liters water).
Use a trowel or putty knife to mix the product until it's smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Apply the Mondo Skimcoat SK-1 using a trowel or putty knife, apply the Mondo Skimcoat to the surface in thin, even layers. Work in small sections, starting at the top of the wall or ceiling and working your way down. Apply enough pressure to ensure the Mondo Skimcoat adheres to the surface, but don't overwork it or you may create ridges or bumps.
Step 4: Sand the Surface once the Mondo Skimcoat has dried (usually within 24 hours), sand the surface using 120-grit sandpaper until it's completely smooth. Wipe away any dust or debris with a clean cloth or sponge.
Tips:
Use a trowel or putty knife with a comfortable grip to avoid hand fatigue.
Keep a bucket of clean water and a sponge nearby to clean your tools and wipe away any excess Mondo Skimcoat.
Apply additional coats as needed to achieve a completely smooth surface.
In conclusion, Mondo Skimcoat SK-1 is a versatile and effective product that can help you achieve a professional-looking finish on any surface.
