Wall Preparation - Glasstex painted substrate specification

Glasstex painted substrate specification The following is our considered specification for the hanging of Glass Fibre Wallcovering (Glasstex) onto a painted substrate. Preparation 1.The substrate surface should be sound, dry, clean and free from damp, dust and grease. Remove any old Wallcoverings and any loose or flaking paint. Any signs of damp or mould should be rectified and cured at the source. Fill holes and large cracks. 2.Flat the surface by abrading lightly with abrasive paper to create a key, use a scraper for any imperfections. Hanging Glass Fibre Wallcovering (Glasstex) 1.Apply a liberal and even coat of the recommended adhesive to the substrate using a short to medium nap roller, at the recommended rate of 5 m²/kg. Ensure the adhesive has sufficient open time for hanging the Wallcovering. 2.Caution, This adhesive must not be diluted. 3.Apply the Wallcovering imbedding it into the adhesive. Butt edges, Do not use a seam roller. Allow adhesive to dry overnight and then apply two coats of paint. Ensure that the working environment is adequately heated and ventilated. Check that the adhesion is adequate after a trial hang before proceeding further. If in doubt seek advice.
