Walnut Shell Granules

When using the product, the complete Product information must be observed.

Preparing the sustrate
Treat all slightly and/or irregular absorbent substrates (i.e. plasterboards, gypsum fibre boards, repaired plasters) at first with Vega Primer or Casein Primer. Cover the surface evenly with Lime Wall Finish -smooth- or Lime Wall Finish -medium- and let dry properly. An even structure can only be achieved on evenly absorbent substrates.

Application
Add the desired amount of Walnut Shell Granules to the already mixed plaster.
Apply the plaster and work out slight textures if desired. Let set a while. Then densify the surface with a trowel in a steep angle. Thus, the Granules are exposed on the surface.

Mixtures with Lime Wall Finish -smooth-, Marmorino and Marble Fibre Render can also be sanded (P240) to make the Granules become visible.
Finally dedust thoroughly and treat the surface with Polishing Soap to bind residues of dust.

Note
The colour of Walnut Shell Granules can vary from harvest to harvest. Sometimes a higher content of tannic acid is given by nature, this might create slightly larger spots in the plaster.
