Two Coat Plaster System: Thistle BondingCoat & ThistlePro Magnetic

Two coat plaster system for low to medium suction backgrounds for wall locations comprising of 11mm Thistle BondingCoat (undercoat) and 3 to 6mm ThistlePro Magnetic (finish coat).

The PL0052 specification outlines a two-coat plaster system designed specifically for low to medium suction backgrounds in wall applications. This system combines an 11mm layer of Thistle BondingCoat as the undercoat with a finish coat of 3 to 6mm ThistlePro Magnetic. This combination not only enhances adhesion but also provides a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface, perfect for various designs and environments.

When preparing to apply the final skim coat, it’s crucial to communicate with the design team or contractor regarding the desired quality of the smooth finish. Factors such as flatness and the influence of lighting on the plaster finish should be discussed to ensure the final appearance aligns with expectations. Collaborating at this stage can help prevent issues later on and guarantees that all design considerations are adequately addressed.

For optimal results, it's important to follow the recommended products. The treatment before applying the finish coat uses Thistle GypPrime to prepare the surface, followed by a final layer of 3mm ThistlePro Magnetic. The substantial undercoat of 11mm Thistle BondingCoat not only ensures durability but also aids in achieving the desired finish quality.

Moreover, the SpecSure® system performance warranty assures that British Gypsum's proprietary systems will function as intended for the entire lifespan of the building. This warranty mandates that all components are specified comprehensively and installed according to British Gypsum's guidelines. For any modifications to the chosen specification, consulting the design team is essential to ensure continued compliance with project performance requirements.
