1. Surface preparation

   ▪ Ensure that surfaces to be skimmed are clean, sound and free of dust, release agent, fungi and/or any material which may affect adhesion
   ▪ All surfaces must be of good alignment and blemish free. Faults in the background may be evident in the finished work
   ▪ All unsound areas, flaky or peeling layers must be removed and repair
   ▪ Surface should be pre-wetted prior to application
   Notes
   (1) New walls must be allowed to cure for minimum periods to ensure that movement does not affect the rendering
   (2) Very porous surfaces should be primed with MEP®. PRIM GP and allowed to dry (“touch dry”)

2. Mixing

   MEP®. MUR PATE is supplied ready-mixed
   ▪ Prior application - Mix thoroughly using a low speed mechanical mixer or by hand mix using a trowel
   ▪ Allow mix to gel for 2-3 min and then remix before use

3. Application

   MEP®. MUR PATE is normally applied by trowel/spatula directly on Level surface
   ▪ Apply a tight coat of MEP®. MUR PATE to a thickness of approximately 0.5 – 1 mm.
