mixes easily in cold water with only simple mixing equipment needed. This low-cost application is designed for

machine or hand application.

Limitations 1. Application below grade or in high-humidity areas is not recommended.

2. Heavy water-based textures may result in sagging of gypsum board ceilings under these conditions: high humidity,

improper ventilation, and/or board application to framing, and insufﬁcient board thickness for span between supports.

When using water-based textures, refer to the following table:

Substrate Priming Application of a prime coat is necessary to equalize surface porosity. After prepared surfaces have thoroughly dried, apply a prime coat of Sheetrock® First Coat flat latex paint or a good quality interior latex flat wall paint with high solids content. Prime coat should be applied undiluted and allowed to dry before decorating. Mixing Use a clean mixing vessel equipped with a variable speed power agitator.
