Detail

Interior or exterior skim coat on wood wool panels.

Application cycle

1. Apply RALLK Rasante K with a steel trowel to fill the hollows in the panel and even out its surface. If the panels are not perfectly flat or are butted together, apply a first leveling skim coat of RALLK Rasante K and, once it has hardened, continue as described below.
2. Skim coat of RALLK K OttO with embedded 150 g/m² glass fiber mesh, laid from top to bottom with the vertical strips overlapping by at least 10 cm.
3. Finish with a finishing coat, RALLK Marmo K powder mineral finish or another mineral finish, acrylic, siloxane, lime or silicate paste finish, or lime, siloxane, acrylic or silicate paint, as set out in the specifications.

Additional information

1. Check that the panels are suitable for the intended use, since any instability of the panel over time (e.g. from thermal expansion or moisture absorption) involves a risk of the skim coat coming away.
2. Check that the panels have been installed correctly and are stable (especially on ceilings) before applying the reinforced skim coat.
3. See the individual product data sheets for application methods and precautions.
