A good surface preparation and following the method statement / recommended system procedure of RITVER is an ideal recommendation for the application of RITVER Gypsum Joint Compound Putty.

For Gypsum, Spray Plaster & Masonry:
Achieve a good and clean surface by removing all contaminants by cleaning & drying. A laitance free surface should be achieved by good sweep blast or a wire brush. Before applying the RITVER Gypsum Joint Compound Putty apply one coat of RITVER PVA Primer Sealer and allow drying.

For usage on Wood & Timber:
Achieve a good and clean surface by removing all contaminants by cleaning & drying treatment with RITVER Wood Preservative Compound is advisable. Start off with good coat of RITVER Wood Primer and allow to dry well and apply required coats of RITVER Gypsum Joint Compound Putty Exclusions for successful application include perpetually wet surfaces and also large cavities on wooden surfaces.

Adequate ventilation is an ideal situation as it helps in drying and the good application itself. Avoid high humid conditions i.e., >95% when condensation is likely to interfere and also when the surface temperature is at least 3°C above dew point. One can add 5 to 10% of sweet water for ease of application depending on the suitability of application. One should apply with a putty knife or a board bladed knife and spread it evenly on the surface to smoothen. After application light sanding may done to remove the imperfections.
