• Slow-speed electric mixer (< 300 rpm).
• Stainless steel smoothing or plastering trowel.
• Plastic float.
• Spray hopper or spray machine.
• Can be applied with an electric render machine after mixing.
• Clean equipment with water after use.

Users must comply with this data sheet and with building regulations in force. Where necessary, users must also comply with all technical instructions related to the Parex^® EWI systems. For other specific applications, please refer to the relevant Parex^® documentation.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

• The substrate must be flat, sound, clean and free from dirt and dust and provide a cohesive surface.
• Remove all loose, flaking and powdery elements.
• The line and level of the substrate in new work must meet the requirements in BS 8000-3.
• Before and throughout the application process protect wooden, metal, aluminium and glass elements.
• The application of a layer of SILICATE TALOCHE GROS mixed with SILICANE FOND will generally be required first to prepare the  surface, control suction and provide depth of colour in preparation for the top coat finish.
• Avoid application in direct sunlight in hot weather.

PRIMING
Before applying SILICANE TALOCHE GROS, the substrate must always be primed with SILICANE FOND or, according to the nature of the substrate, a blend of SILICANE FOND and SILICANE PEINTURE. Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheets.
 

• Thoroughly mix the product in the container at slow speed until it is of an even consistency.
• When mixing avoid creating air bubbles or foam

Manual

• Apply the desired SILICANE TALOCHE finish in an even thickness, using a flexible stainless steel float. The thickness of the finish will be according to the size of grain. When floating the finish, if excess material splays over the top of the float, it is likely that too much material has been applied and thus needs to be removed until the material is the thickness of the grain size applied.
• Always maintain a wet edge and work to corners and joints.
• Finish off with a smooth plastic plastering float (a plastic float will roll the large aggregates more than a stainless steel trowel) in a regular motion or in the direction of the required dragged effect. Alternative effects can be created. Continuously dry clean the float during texturing. Use consistent pressure and motion to achieve the desired finish.

Machine

• Spray SILICANE TALOCHÉ GROS onto the substrate and then level the surface as detailed above.

In both cases

• For a float finish - finish the surface with a plastic float, using regular, circular movements.
• For a smooth felt finish - finish the surface with a sponge-backed float, using circular or vertical movements.

Water soluble prior to drying.
