  • CRYSTAL can be applied to most solid surfaces. Make sure that the surface is thoroughly dried and aged.
  • Resurface should be filled with suitable crack filler or similar product.
  • If the surface is flaky, apply MAS Masonry AR Primer to avoid efflorescence.
  • Dry lined surfaces (plasterboard) should be double boarded with staggered joints. Joints in MDF surfaces should be taped.
  • Raw substrates such as concrete blockwork, brickwork and similar backgrounds must be rendered with a base plaster to achieve a true, flat surface that is straight both horizontally and vertically.
  • All supports should be sound, clean, dry and free of dust and greasy matter. In hot weather, the support should be moistened.
  • All substrates should be prepared as if for final decoration. It is not recommended to apply over wallpaper or lining paper. Extra care should be taken on surfaces that are previously decorated.

To obtain the best effect, quality results, and excellent finish, it is advisable to apply a primer coat prior to the application of CRYSTAL. After preparation Crystal can be applied on various surfaces such as concrete walls, plaster, wood panels, gypsum board, etc.
Crystal can be applied using stainless steel trowel with an approximate yield of 250 grams per square meter/per coat. CRYSTAL is ready to use the material. Dilute with water if required then apply in a number of thin layers to build a thickness of 0.5 – 1.0 mm.
Scrape over the layered material to remove any small lumps or trowel line. Pay attention to the corners to avoid an uneven finish.
Leave the first layer until it dries for about an hour depending on the temperature in the space. Repeat the process progressively over the wall and occasionally passed the area already coated to achieve the required effect.
Keep troweling the surface with a cleaned stainless steel trowel for about 15 minutes until the surface is smooth. Tools should be clean with water immediately after use.
Indicative spreading rate: 0.5 – 1.0 kg/m2 based on two (2) coats on plaster or gypsum. It is advisable to determine the actual spreading rate by performing a preliminary application test on the specific surface.
