AUDICOTE AIDS HW TO GET BEST RESULTS WITH AUDICOTE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP TO ASSURE SAT I Sf ACT ORT RESULTS WITH RED TOP AUOICOTE ACOUSTICAL PUSTER: CONDITIOI OF BASE GYPSUM PLASTER OR PORTLAND CEMENT SASECOATS SHOULD 8E SEMI-GREEN TO DRY. wET OR DAMP BASECOATS WILL PROLONG DRYING. AND IN SEVERE CIRCUMSTANCES DROP-OUTS HAY OCCUR. A FULL BROWN COAT IS NECESSARY TO HlNIHIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF RUSTING THROUGH OF TIE WIRES OR EXPOS ED METAL LATH. RUST INHIBITIVE PROPERTIES ARE BUILT INTO AUOICOTE. BUT COMPLETE PREVENTION AGAINST RUSTING CANNOT BE ASSURED WHEN EXPOSED RAW STEEL IS PRESENT IN THE BASE COAT PUSTER. APPLICATION OF AUDICOTE OVER A DAMP OR GREEN BASECOAT PROLONGS THE DRYING OF BOTH, BASECOAT ANO ACOUSTICAL PUS TER, A CONDITION FAVORABLE TO'RUST MIGRATION. WHERE AUOICOTE IS SPECIFIED FOR APPLICATION DIRECT TO MONOLITHIC CONCRETE, REINFORCING BAR CHAIR SEATS SHOULD BE GALVANIZED WITH ENDS TURNED UP OR DIPPED IN RUST INHIBITIVE PAINT. OTHER STEEL IN THE EXPOSED SURFACE, ROOS, NAILS, ETC. SHOULD BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM, ANO WHEN VISIBLE, SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RUST INHIBITIVE PAINT BEFORE FIRST COAT OF AUDICOTE IS APPLIED. MIXING AUDICOTE may be MACHINE OR HAND MIXED. MACHINE MIXING AT A RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED IS PREFERRED; HOW EVER, IT MAY BE MIXED BY HANO WITH SATISFACTORY RESULTS. IN EITHER CASE THE PLASTER SHOULD BE MIXED TO A UNIFORM CONSISTENCY FREE OF LUMPS. WHERE SMALL hand OPERATED FINISHING MACHINES ARE TO RE EMPLOYED FOR FINISH COAT APPLICATION ANO WHERE SLOW MACHINE MIXING OR HANO MIXING HAS FaILCD TO PRODUCE an EVEN MIX, THE E-Z-ON LIMESTIR. QUICKSTIR, OR SIMIUR HIXERS PROVIOE IDEAL HIGH SPLE0 MIXING WITH UNIfORHITY. 3B007 0160 APPLICATION FIRST COAT AUOICOTC PRESENTS VERY ECw PRORLEMS in APPLICATION. 1HI riKST COM 01 ACOUSTICAL PUSTLR MUST RE LEFT AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE UNDER THE DARRY.

CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PRODUCE UNIFORM DRYING. AN AREA THAT DRYS TOO FAST WILL DEVELOP EXCESSIVE FISSURING. ANO IN EXTREMES MAY DE LAM I NATE IN A CUPPED FASHION FROM THE BASECOAT. DIRECT AND LOCALIZED BUSTS OF AIR MUST BE AVOIDED. IN HIGH WINDS, OPENINGS MUST BE SCREENED OR CLOSED TO PREVENT TOO RAPID DRYING. VENTILA TION IS IMPORTANT, PART ICUURLY IN WINTER, DUE TO THE HIGH CONSISTENCY OF AUOICOTE, BUT THE PRECEDING CAUTION TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE FISSURING SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. UNIT HEATERS OR SAUMANOERS MUST BE PUCED ANO DIRECTED SO THAT THEIR EFFECT IS UNIFORM ANO NOT LOCALIZED ON THE CEILING. SHOULD EXCESSIVE FISSURING DEVELOP IN THE BASECOAT, IT IS A SIMPLE PROCEDURE TO TROWEL IN SOME AUOICOTE JUST PRIOR TO APPLYING THE FINISH COAT. IF OISKIHG OR DC LAM I NAT I ON OCCURS, REMOVE THE FAULTY PUSTER AND PATCH WITH AUDICOTE PRIOR TO FINISHING. WHEREVER POSSIBL, IT IS 0ESIRA8LE TO ALLOW THE FIRST COAT TO BECOME AS DRY AS POSSIBLE. IN THIS WAY EXCESSIVE FISSURING WILL NEVER BECOME A PROBLEM. FINISH COAT Hand Applied Finlshes- WITH ANY HANO APPLIED FINISH PUSTER, THE FINISH COAT MUST BE LEFT AS LEVEL AS POSSIBLE UNOER THE DARBY AND TROWEL. THE SAME IS TRUE WITH AUOICOTE. ALLOW FINISH TO TAKE UP SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE STIPPLING OR PERFORATING. NO TIME RANGE CAN BE GIVEN AS DRYING CONDITIONS WILL VARY ON EACH JOB. Machine Applied Finishes THE SMALL FINISHING MACHINES, SUCH AS THE E-Z-TEX ANO PUSTER-TEX. GIVE VERY FINE TO MEDIUM TEXTURES. THE URGER MACHINES, SUCH AS THE KAREUUS AC OUST I-PUMP, SAND HOG BASE-COTER, E-Z-ON, ANO PUSTER MASTER. GIVE HEDIUM TO HE A VT TEXTURES. WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE MACHINES, DIFFERENT SIZE ORIFICES MAY BE USED TO VARY THE TEX TURE. CHANGING THE CONSISTENCY, I.E., WATER CONTENT. WILL ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT. INCREASING THE CONSISTENCY WILL PRODUCE A FINER TEXTURE. CT lBB00 7 Cl'S
