If standard preparation and standard application procedures are followed, an outstanding smooth finish can be obtained.

• For exterior and interior use;

• Can be applied to damp surfaces;

• Resists mould and fungus growth;

• Raw or previously Painted Surfaces;

• Skims up to 5mm thick without sagging;

• Ideal for filling small holes and hairline cracks;

• Water based, therefore all equipment can be cleaned with water;

• Non-toxic and non-irritant if standard painting conditions and code of painting practice is adhered to.

• Spreading = ± 2m²/Litre depending on thickness;

• Cracks or holes deeper than 5mm must be filled with the appropriate Plaster Filler;

• Previously painted surfaces must be sanded to a flat finish before applying Wonderskim™;

• Ensure all surfaces are clean before application:

• Surfaces must be clean and dry. Remove all loose plaster, dust, old paint and wallpaper by brushing with a stiff wire brush. If necessary wash with Classic Sugar Soap;

• Narrow cracks are best to be widened with a sharp tool to ensure effective filling;

• Apply only as much WONDERSKIM™ as needed, it is advisable to build the film thickness in multiple layers rather than one thick coat (maximum thickness;

• Allow to dry for at least 2 hours before sanding with 100 grit sand paper to a smooth finish. Thick applications or damp weather may require a slightly longer drying period;

• Always use clean utensils, and ensure the mixing vessel or surface has no residues of old, mixed crack filler;

• Remove excess product from tools before cleaning in warm water. For best results add Classic Sugar Soap;

• Do not store in extreme temperatures, and never allow freezing. To prolong shelf life, replace plastic liner and lid to stop product drying out when storing, and store in a cool, dry place.

WONDERSKIM™ can be applied with a steel trowel or a paint scraper / spatula, by pressing firmly against the substrate and scraping the surface in an upward sweeping action, maintaining a firm and even pressure. Apply only as much Wonderskim™ as needed, it is advisable to build the film thickness in multiple layers rather than one thick coat (maximum thickness 5mm). Sponge down with damp sponge to eliminate sanding.

• The ambient temperature must be between 5ºC and 35ºC and humidity between 10% and 85%;

• Care must be taken when applying finish coats in low temperatures and an allowance made for slightly longer setting and drying times. WONDERSKIM™ must only be applied where backgrounds are not frozen or will remain at 5°C or above until dry;

• Do not paint too early as the wall may still be damp - paint only when the walls are dry;

• Do not paint in too hot weather, rather paint early morning and after lunch, the slower the WONDERSKIM™ dries, the longer it lasts;

• Excessive application thickness and/or rapid drying could lead to cracking;

• Avoid applying under adverse weather conditions as this could result in poor product performance;

• Excessively friable surfaces should be cleaned down prior to primer application.

• It is advisable to wear gloves as WONDERSKIM™ is difficult to remove from skin;

• Always keep out of reach of children and animals;

• Do not take in orally - harmful if swallowed. Seek medical attention and do not induce vomiting;

• If accidental contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water or a good quality skin cleaner;

• If accidental contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;

• Wear a respirator if the area being painted cannot be adequately ventilated, and work for short periods only;

• Ventilate the area to be painted, opening all doors and windows and using fans during application and drying;

• Protect floors with cloth Drop Cloths, not plastic, which is far more slippery;

• Do not paint or store paint near any heat source such as a water heater or fireplace, and never smoke while painting;

• Make sure your ladder is in good shape. Set the legs on an even surface and lock the cross braces. Do not stand on the top of the ladder nor on the utility shelf. If you are having difficulty reaching a spot, get down from the ladder and move it rather than leaning out;

• Clean up carefully and thoroughly when you are done for the day;

• If rags have alkyd paint or thinner on them, leave them to dry outside to avoid any chance of spontaneous combustion;

• Choose an area inaccessible to children and pets, and when they are thoroughly dry, take them to a toxic-waste dump site.
