The texture is formulated for easy mixing, maximum coverage, excellent hide, easy application, and a white surface as a base for final decoration of walls or ceilings. USES Kaiser Cover-Tex is a dry powder texture designed for either hand or spray application for use as a base or final texture on gypsum wallboard walls or ceilings. If is particularly formulated to hove good spraying qualities for both "fog" application and for heavy "splatter" patterns, with no sag or running of the texture.. Color matched so that when used as a spray wall texture, it will match K-Sproy Ceiling Texture. A A wide range of textures may be obtained by hand applying with a brush, sponge, roller, whisk broom, scrub brush, wadded paper, or cloth. A trowel dragged over a stippled area to knock down high spots will produce o brocade effect. Cover-Tex is shipped in 25- or 50-pound socks. Depending upon the type and thickness of texture, a good approximation of coverage is 20 square Feet per pound of dry powder. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS SURFACE PREPARATION All joints, fasteners, and irregularities shall be finished with Kaiser Joint Treotment Products; and the wallboard surface shall be clean and dry. For best results, seal all surfaces with a primer-sealer before applying the texture to equalize the suction between the wallboard and the joint treatment.
