Cover all external corner beads and fastener heads. Allow compound to set and harden for the prescribed time before second coating.
Second Coat
Fill recessed edges to a width of 200mm, butt joints to a width of 400mm, external corner beads to a width of 200mm, internal corners to a width of 75mm and cover all fastener heads. Allow compound to set and harden for the prescribed time before final coating.
