Description Beadex

brand Silver Set

lightweight setting-type joint compounds for drywall interiors save time and money by

permitting same-day joint finishing, and usually next-day decoration. The chemically setting compounds mix

quickly with water and are applied after a short soaking period and remixing. They are lightweight for easy handling

and sand easily for fast, smooth finishing.

ilver Set lightweight setting-type joint compounds are ideal for heavy fills and are virtually unaffected by humidity.

They provide low shrinkage and superior bond, which makes them excellent for laminating gypsum panels to gypsum

panels, to sound-deadening boards, and to above-grade concrete surfaces. In addition, they can be used for filling,

smoothing, and finishing interior concrete ceilings and above-grade concrete; taping and finishing gypsum panels,

under tile, and for finishing joints in exterior gypsum ceiling boards.

To meet varying job requirements, a full line of S

ilver Set joint compounds has been developed to provide a choice

of approximate setting times. S

ilver Set 5 joint compound sets in about 5–10 minutes; Silver Set 20 joint compound

sets in about 15–25 minutes; S

ilver Set 40 joint compound sets in about 32–48 minutes; and Silver Set 90 joint

compound sets in about 75–105 minutes.

Limitations 1. Setting action cannot be delayed or prevented by dilution with water.

2. Do not apply over moist surfaces or surfaces likely to become moist, or on below-grade surfaces or surfaces

projecting outside building structure unless protected from direct exposure to moisture.

3. Before using over new interior concrete surfaces, allow concrete to age 60 days or more. Remove protrusions,

ridges, form or parting oils, grease and efflorescence.

4. Prior to using any epoxy coating over any surface treated with joint compound, consult the epoxy coating

manufacturer and follow manufacturer’s specific recommendations regarding the preparation or suitability

of substrates for the epoxy coating. Many epoxy coatings exert significant shear stress on the substrate as the

strong epoxy film shrinks while curing/drying. This stress can cause the bond of the joint compound to fail,

resulting in delamination problems.

Application Preparation In cold weather during gypsum panel joint finishing, minimum surface, water, mix and air temperature of 45 °F

must be ensured until joints are completely dry. Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry off excess moisture.

Gypsum Panel Position and apply gypsum panels in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Joint Treatment

Mix compound according to directions on bag. Allow prefill compound to harden prior to the next application

(tape-embedding coat).

Cover joint with a thin layer of compound and embed fiberglass or paper joint tape, leaving about 1/32

 of

compound under feathered edge and a thin layer over the tape. After compound has set, apply second coat,

feathering out approximately 2

 beyond first coat. After setting, apply third coat, feathering out 2 beyond second

coat. After each coat is applied, smooth away any tool lap marks or other imperfections prior to hardening action.

Finish fastener heads with three coats of joint compound; finish corner bead and inside corners as required with

at least two coats, feathered and smoothed out onto panel faces.

A prime coat of a USG primer product or a good-quality interior latex flat wall paint with high solids content should be applied undiluted and allowed to dry before decorating. Walls to be covered with wallpaper or vinyl wallcovering should be sealed per manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not attempt to make a cast enclosing any part of the body using this material. Failure to follow these instructions may cause severe burns that may require surgical removal of affected tissue. Avoid inhalation of dust and eye contact. Dust generated by sanding may cause eye, skin, or respiratory tract irritation.
