When using ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound for all three coats, the first coat must be used to bed a high-quality paper tape.
ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound must be allowed to dry thoroughly (up to 24 hours depending on temperature & humidity) before re-coating or sanding.
Only apply over setting type compounds that have been allowed to dry thoroughly.
Sand with care using 180 or 220 grit paper.
Thoroughly clean all tools and equipment after use.
MIXING
Always use clean tools.
Do not mix with residues of previously used compounds.
The inclusion of such materials will impair the performance of this product and will void the product warranty.
ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound may appear thick in pail. Before adding water, lightly mix & test its application; if required, add water to achieve desired consistency.
Caution: Avoid over-thinning when adding water as this may cause cracking and excessive shrinkage. If liquid has separated from the compound, stir carefully to restore consistency.
Caution: Do not over mix; over mixing can introduce air bubbles, which can create surface imperfections.
RECOMMENDATION
The application of ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound at interior temperatures less than 10°C is not recommended. Under cold or wet weather conditions, allow more than 24 hours for thorough drying.
When diluting ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound do not vigorously over mix as this will introduce entrapped air which can result in surface imperfections.
Do not apply ENTEGRE All Purpose Joint Compound over joints that are not thoroughly dry; pinholes may result.
Do not use sandpaper lower than 150 grit. Take care to avoid scratching when sanding.
The inclusion of other materials to a mix will impair the performance (e.g. reduced strength and poor adhesion) and void the product warranty.
Consume an opened pail within 48 hours.
