PEPESALE

Base for Pepesale finish

FEATURES AND RANGE OF USE                                            

PEPESALE is a coloured fine-textured coating paste system suitable to obtain translucid marble-effect finishes. It has a base of natural lime paste, natural colouring earths, marble powders and grains and additives that enhance its rheological behaviour during application and its attachment to the wall. It can be applied on any indoor wall surface even if treated with paint or synthetic coatings: provided they are firm, sound and not affected by damp of any origin. In addition PEPESALE can be used outdoor, provided that the surfaces are firm and not affected by rising damp. Old plastic coatings or paintwork must be stripped off.

RULES FOR USE – PREPARATION OF BASE

New plaster must be left to season for at least 4 to 6 weeks so that the surfaces are neutralized through natural carbonation. Also very new patches of plaster must be left to season.
New wall surfaces: clean thoroughly, removing any trace of dust, dirt, or oils, or any parts that are loose. Make sure that the wall is perfectly dry and, in the case of surfaces that are subject to flaking or crumbling, apply a layer of FIXAFOND B 400 liquid primes to provide a uniform and solid base. Allow 8 hours to pass and level off any large flaws in the wall surface using LASTOCEM AW with cement added 2:1.
Wall surfaces that are already painted and partially deteriorated: remove every trace of paint that shows any signs of coming away or flaking, or any efflorescence. Clean away thoroughly any dust or dirt, check that the wall is perfectly dry, and apply a layer of FIXAFOND B 400 to make the surface firm. Let 8 hours elapse and fill any large flaws in the wall surface using LASTOCEM AW with cement 2:1 added. Allow 24 hours to pass before applying PEPESALE. Protect the treated surfaces from heavy rain for at least 48 hours.

APPLICATION

We recommend to apply with any type of surface a priming coat of FIXAFOND B400 to provide a uniform base.
The ready-to-use product is thixotropic. Mix it gently until it is workable. Should there be a liquid surface layer present, this does not affect the quality of PEPESALE. In this case set aside a part of the liquid, stir the product and, if necessary, add a part of the liquid until the product is perfectly workable. Apply PEPESALE using a metal trowel in two coats waiting 24 hours between the two. In the second coat, once the material acquires firmness, smooth off with a stainless steel trowel. For a deeper and more uniform finish, spread on two layers of MARBLESTONE PLAK.. Do not apply PEPESALE on surfaces exposed to the sun or with temperatures that can drop below 5°C. Clean all tools with water immediately after use. It is preferable to use the product be within 6 months of the production date.
