Product Details
A SPECIALLY FORMULATED LIME PLASTER BASECOAT
Product Details:
TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized is our signature, made-to-order lime plaster basecoat that is designed to be installed on sound interior/exterior applications. In addition, our special formula allows you to apply TAKCOAT™ without priming a wall with sanded or acrylic ‘weld’ primer or lath to create a permanent bond. TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized can also be used directly over porous brick, stone, and concrete that have no form oils or sealers on them. Rather than successive thin layers of watery limewash, TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized can be troweled or brushed on thickly, allowed to gel over, and then cross-hatched brushed with water to leave it glistening and cure brilliant white. Skip dash methods of the same can be used to create interrupted finishes such as German Schmear and simulate the distressed appearance of aged whitewash with some of the color of the brick or stone not covered to give this mottled appearance. Send us a sample to get a free evaluation or custom simulation.
Mixing:
TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized should be mechanically mixed using a drill mixer with a paddle attachment. Approximately 1 gallon of water should be added per 38.5 lb unit. Mix well for 3-5 minutes. Adjust final water content carefully to a workable consistency.
The correct consistency for TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized is as thick as pudding for troweling. 1/3 cup of Borax may be added per a gallon of mixing water to defend against the potential of mold in damp or humid environments.
Working time:
1-2 hours once mixed with water. Any material that is mixed with water and left to sit over 12 hours should be discarded.
Cure time:
TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized should be misted once after a 24 hour cure time.
Shelf life:
8-12 months if kept sealed and away from moisture.
Benefits:
The unique qualities of TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized allow it to be troweled at pudding-like consistency over any sound interior/exterior walls and then flattened out. Furthermore, TAKCOAT™ Platinum Customized reduces the time and labor associated with primer applications and provides the first coat in a two or more coat lime plaster/stucco system. TAKCOAT™ consists of Hydraulic Lime, Recycled Glass aggregates, and NO VOC additives.
