Leading construction chemical company A.Shak provides tips and best practices for one of its best-selling products – Plasterkey.
For best performance when preparing a wall for plaster, users must remember that it is important to provide the plaster with a way of adhering to the surface. A common method of this is to chip the surface to increase surface area allowing the plaster to “key” onto the surface. Plasterkey is an easy and effective alternative to this method that has been trusted by the DIY and construction industries for decades.
Over those years A.Shak has strived to provide the best quality products. It is for that reason that PlasterKey has developed its reputation as the market leader in the plaster bonding agent category. We continuously strive to ensure that only the best goes to market.
For best results mix Plasterkey with 2 parts river sand and 1 part cement to create a scratch coat that you can apply with a block brush or trowel. Wait until the scratch coat is properly dry and then apply the plaster as per normal. Plasterkey works with cement and gypsum plaster. In the case of Gypsum based Plaster, simply apply the PlasterKey to the surface with a brush and then plaster straight onto the wet Plasterkey. Plasterkey is available in 210L, 25L, 10L, and 5L containers with each litre covering ± 10 square meters.
