Used for embedding tape and for concealing and finishing joints, fasteners, and trim accessories on gypsum wallboard, in applications where the use of a single compound for both taping and finishing is desired
Can be applied manually or with mechanical tools

FEATURES:

Factory mixed to ensure uniform consistency and to save time on the job
Used for taping, covering and finishing coats on wallboard joints, for concealing fastener holes and corner bead, and for repairing cracks and holes
Sands easily and feathers to smooth edge
Liquid content is carefully controlled at the factory to ensure minimum shrinkage

COVERAGE:

Approximate coverage in kilograms of compound per 100 m2 (1000 ft 2) of drywall panel is as follows: Regular - All- Purpose Compound (3 coats) 55-68 kg
47 sq.ft. of drywall

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Wallboard joints are normally finished using three coats of compound; the first to embed the tape, the second to cover the tape, and the third to finish the joint
These compounds can be used for all three coats
Apply the first coat to the joint in a band about 64 mm (2-1/2") wide
Centre tape over joint and embed with a broad knife
Allow to dry for 24 hours
Apply second (cover) and third (finishing) coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly
Sand between coats, if necessary
Feather edges of each coat 50 mm (2") beyond the previous coat
Finished joint should be about 350 mm (14") wide
Allow to dry for 24 hours before sanding
Use 120 grit sandpaper for the Regular and 150 grit for the Lite and Semi-Lite on a hand or pole sander
Do not sand the surface wallboard paper
Note: to avoid dust, joints can be finished by wet sanding or sponging rather than dry sanding
If dry sanding, ventilate the area and wear eye protection and a respirator
For best results, apply a primer-sealer prior to painting or wallpapering
For severe lighting conditions, or if a gloss paint is to be applied as the finish coat, it is recommended that the entire surface of the wallboard receive a skim coat of compound before applying the primer-sealer
This will assist in equalizing the rate of absorb- tion of the gloss paint and help to avoid flashing at the joints

MIXING:

Re-mix before and during use, if compound has separated
To thin, add no more than 40 ml (1.5oz) of clean water per kilogram of compound
Mixing by drill motor, particularly at thinner consistencies, may entrap air in the mix, possilby resulting in "pin holes" in the finish
Mixing at low RPM or by hand will minimize air entrapment
