Direct application of HI-LITE Acoustical Plaster to existing ceilings or concrete
Hi-Litk may he applied over existing plaster and over
new or existing smooth concrete ceding with the use
of asphalt emulsion (Type N-13 HPC or C-13 HPO
as a bonding agent.
'
On existing painted plaster or concrete ceilings, the
surface must be dry, clean and sound. Calcimine or
similar powder paints must be washed off and wax.
grease or oil removed. Loose or improperly bonded
plaster or paint must lie removed and such areas re
paired with wood fiber or patching plaster. Allow
patches to dry 2 or 3 days. On new concrete ceilings
which are smooth, level, and dense, surface must be
dry, free of dust, oil, grease, or efflorescence.
Size any porous concrete, or porous or unpainted plaster surface with cut-back asphalt, shellac, or varnish to reduce suction before asphalt emulsion is applied.
Trowel on asphalt emulsion in thin coat not to exceed Lo" thick. Cover entire ceiling area. The first ? of Hi-Litk should follow application of the emul sion as closely as possible and while the emulsion is still suft and plastic.
Darby first eoat of Hi-Lite to a true even surface
with a minimum amount of pressure. Allow to set nnd
partially dry. Apply IIi-Litk finish coat as specified.
Application of HI-LITE Acoustical Plaster over monolithic concrete surfaces
Over properly prepared rough monolithic concrete surface apply Bonoc'IIKT'E* plaster according to direc tions and not to exceed \4" thickness on ceilings nor
In on skit? walls. Apply the Hi-Tjtk ovt-r the set, partially dry j*oniickktk basecuat, as specified above.
Directions for painting HI-LITE Acoustical Plaster
Remove all loose dirt or dust from Hi-Lite by use of h vacuum cleaner with hose and brush attachment.
Paint: Should be water-thinned. Texolite* Im perial is recommended. First coat -- mix one part Tkxolite paste to one part water by volume. Second coat if required --mix one part Texoljte paste to tux> parts water by volume.
Spray on with any gun with a medium fine sprav. DeVilbiss spray gun, type MUD, with a No. .10

nozzle or equivalent is recommended. Use .10 to JO lbs. pressure in the gun and L!0 to dO lbs. on the paint.
Mold nozzle 11 to IS in. away from work. Use a slow, uniform motion, ('over surface in one pass. Dc not pass over same area several times as this builds up paint unnecessarily.
Allow at least overnight drying between cunts. If weather is extremely humid, allow additional drying as necessary.
