Generally the larger the hole to be patched, the thicker the putty should be. Do not mix more than will be used in several hours. SWEDISH PUTTY: Add white lead, varnish, or colore-in-oil to Bestwall Spackling Compound to make Swedish Putty. SURFACE PREPARATION: The area to be patched must be clean and dry and free of loose particles. Grease should be removed with a strong solution of trisodium phosphate and soap or any good prepared wall cleaner. Then rinse the area with clear water. Glossy surfaces should be roughened with steel wool or fine sandpaper. APPLICATION: Bestwall Spackling Compound can be applied with a flexible broad knife, or trowel, or any suitable tool. Small cracks and imper fections can be repaired by one application. Large patches or deep, wide cracks usua.lly require two applications. It is recommended that the first application consist of Bestwall Patching Plaster. Allow this to harden and then follow with the final coat of Spackle. The finished repair may be sanded smooth if necessary. Patches in repaired surfaces should be primed and sealed bo as to even up the suction before redecorating.

Generally the larger the patch, the thicker the putty should be. Do not mix more than can be used in 30 minutes. CAUTION: Do not reclaim patching plaster that has begun to harden by adding more water. It will be worthless. SURFACE PREPARATION: The areas to be patched must be clean and dry and free of loose particles. Enlarge small cracks by cutting out old plaster to form an inverted V. Dampen the entire area to be patched with water to promote adhesion between the old plaster and the new. APPLICATION: Small crack6 and imperfections are filled by using a thin putty forcing it into the cracks with a broad knife. Use the broad knife to shear off any excess plaster. Large holes and imperfections require two coats. Apply the first coat so that it nearly fills the area being patched. Allow it to harden. While the first coat is still wet, apply a second coat. Bring this coat out flush to the finished surface. Shear it off smooth with the tool. When the second cost is hard and dry, sand it to a smooth surface if necessary. Prime and seal the surface to even the suction before painting or papering. This may require priming entire area.

May be used on poured concrete, cinder block, or concrete block walls which are reasonably straight and true and free from any surface treatment or decoration. CAUTION Add water only. Do not mix any other material or ingredients with the adhesive in this package. Use clean water suitable for drinking. Mix in a clean container, free from any previously hardened masonry adhesive or other foreign ingredients. SURFACE PREPARATION Surfaces should be reasonably straight and true and free of fragments of mortar, splinters from forms, protruding reinforcing rods, etc. Surfaces out of alignment by 1" or more should be leveled by some suitable means. MIXING Mix 50 lbs. of Grabit with 10 quarts of water. The resultant consistency is such that it may be applied with a caulking gun, yet stiff enough that the bead will not sag or flow. Mix until powder is completely wetted. Allow to soak for 5 minutes, then remix and adjust consistency by addition of small amounts of water. Do not use excessive amounts of woter. Do not mix more than can be used in 2--1/2 hours. Clean out all tools and containers before the 2-1/2 hour setting time of the adhesive has elapsed. APPLICATION Cn the back side of the board apply a 1" ribbon of Grabit to each edge, keeping the adhesive as close to the edges as possible and two ribbons in the field of the Page ^D-24 SGP 0003725 Direction ^D-24 board 16" from each edge. The ribbons of adhesive are applied parallel to the paper bound edges of the board. Position the board containing the adhesive either vertically or horizontally. Use masonry nails where necessary, to hold the board in place until the adhesive sets. To allign joints, place a 2 x 4 over the adjoining board edges and tap with a hammer. If the boards are warped, use masonry nails to pull the boards into alignment. Remove all droppings from the face of the boards before the adhesive sets. The Grabit will set hard in 3-4 hours, after which joint taping and finishing operations may be started.

Gypsum baeecoats should be half dry to dry. Concrete should be dry. MIXING Be sure equipment and tools are clean. Machine mix at least 5 minutes. If hand mixed, hoe until thoroughly mixed. APPLICATION SPRAY APPLICATION - For first cost use 55 - 65 quarts water per 40 lb. bag. Apply 3/8" thick. Level with darby and allow to dry before applying finish coat. For finish coat, use 5 to 10 additional quarts water per bag depending on the texture desired. When applied over low suction bases, the material should be applied in three applications, the first application furnishing the suction for subsequent coats. Any large fissures in the base coat should be filled and leveled before applying finish coat. HAND APPLICATION - Uee 50 - 60 quarts water per 40 lb. bag for both basecoat and finish coat.

This makes it possible to eliminate mixing on the job and also eliminates waste due to spoilage. * Fast drying allows more operations to be completed in a given period of time and minimizes delayed shrinkage. * Low shrinkage may, in some cases, reduce the number of coats required. * Superior working qualities make the cement easier to apply, reduce sanding, and reduce waste, since the cement retains its workability as it is used. * Outstanding skim coating properties make this operation easier to per form and more desirable. The uniformly smooth surfaces which result from skim coating give a better base for the decoration and make acceptable one coat paint jobs possible. ***** IN ORDER TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE QUALITIES OF BESTUALL FIVE STAR JOINT CEMENT READ CAREFULLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIXING AND APPLICATION CAUTION: Add water only. Do not mix any other material or ingredient with the contents of this package. All mixerB, tools, buckets, pumps, etc., must be absolutely clean and entirely free of any Page #D-37 SGP 0003755 Direction #D-37 (Continued) other cement. Use clean water (suitable for drinking) at 60 to 80 Fahrenheit. Do not beat air into the mis. MIXING: Mix 40 lbs. of Bestwall Five Star with 12 to 14 pints of water. Use 20 gallons of water for 500 lbs. of cement, 40 gallons of water for 1000 lbs. of cement, etc. For best results use a drill type mixer or other suitable mixer for small quantities and a ribbon or other suitable mechanical mixer for large quantities. Mix until all of the powder is completely wetted. Allow the cement to soak for at least an hour prior to use and preferably overnight. The mixed cement may be kept for at least a month in a sealed container or by merely keeping a layer of water over the surface. Prior to use, remove the surface water and remix the cement with a potato masher, drill, or other suitable agitator. Adjust to the desired consistency and mix until the cement is smooth and plastic. APPLICATION: Apply the mixed Bestwall Five Star Cement to the joints and embed the tapes, leaving e uniform thickness of material under the tapes. At the same time, cover all nailheads. Re peat the lotter operation with each subsequent application of cement or as many times as needed. When the Bestwall Five Star Cement has thoroughly dried, apply a coat over the tape. If necessary, another coat may be applied. The cement under and over the tape must be thoroughly dry before the next coat is applied.

Apply Bestwall All Purpose Compound to all flat joints and shear off surplus, leaving no material on the high edges. Allow to dry far about 2 to 12 hours (depending on drying conditions) before taping.
