Question 3

Which plasters and adhesives is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

It is designed to work with cement-based, lime-based, and gypsum-based plasters. It can be used with various adhesives, including acrylic and epoxy, to secure the mesh to the substrate before plaster application.

Question 4

How do I install this plaster mesh on a wall or ceiling?

Accepted Answer

Steps: 1) Prepare the surface (clean, dust-free). 2) Cut the mesh to fit the area with a bit of overlap for joints. 3) Position the mesh on the surface and lightly press into the base coat or adhesive. 4) Embed the mesh into the first plaster coat, ensuring it lies flat with no wrinkles. 5) Apply subsequent plaster coats to complete the finish. 6) Ensure overlaps are seamless and the mesh remains hidden under plaster.

Question 5

How should I cut and fit the mesh around edges or fixtures?

Accepted Answer

Use sharp tin snips or scissors to cut the mesh to the required lengths. Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. Shape the mesh to fit around outlets, corners, and fixtures, allowing for slight overlaps at joints. Secure the mesh into place with the adhesive or base coat before applying the plaster.

Question 6

What safety precautions should I take when handling this GI plaster mesh?

Accepted Answer

Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection to guard against sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid kinks or folds that can create wrinkles in plaster. Store in a dry area to prevent corrosion initiation and ensure proper ventilation when cutting or manipulating dust-prone materials.

Question 7

What are common use cases for this plaster mesh?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for reinforcing plaster on interior walls and ceilings during new builds, renovations, or DIY plastering projects. Useful for stabilizing joints, corners, and large plaster surfaces where cracking resistance and a smooth finish are desired.
