Applications & Uses

- Surface Preparation
Concrete and masonry surfaces - Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of frost, damage, releasing agents, including dirt, efflorescence, form oil and other foreign matter. Loose or damaged material must be removed by water blasting, sandblasting or mechanical wire brushing and repaired. Avoid application over irregular surfaces. Resurface, patch or level surfaces to required tolerance and smoothness with appropriate Decoplast leveling materials.
Decoplast recommends priming cementitious substrates using Decoplast primer prior to application of finish - For color uniformity, maximum finish coverage, and neutralizing high pH (highly alkaline) surfaces.
- Mixing
Mix with a clean, rust-free electric drill and paddle to a uniform consistency. A small amount of clean water may be added to aid workability. Limit addition of water to amount needed to achieve the finish texture. Additives are not permitted. Close container when not in use. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
- Application
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces.
Trowel - Apply Decolastic 250 Textured Finish with a clean stainless steel trowel to a rough thickness slightly more than the largest aggregate size. Apply the finish keeping thickness uniform. Maintain a wet edge on Decolastic 250 Textured Finish by applying and texturing continually over the wall surface. Work Decolastic 250 Textured Finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks. Do not allow material to set up within an uninterrupted wall area. Achieve final texture by floating with the appropriate trowel.
Spray - Decolastic 250 Textured Finishes can be applied with a gravity-feed sprayer, texture spray pump machine, or other appropriate equipment. To ensure full coverage of the surface, apply in an even coat.
Important - Always check color for proper match.
Apply coating continuously, maintain a wet edge to eliminate cold joints. Work Decolastic 250 Textured Finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks. Avoid application in direct sunlight. Protect installed product from rain, freezing, and continuous high humidity until completely dry.
Curing/Drying - Decolastic 250 Textured Finishes dry within 24 - 72 hours under normal conditions [70°F (21°C), 50% RH]. Drying time varies with temperature, humidity and surface conditions.
Clean Up - Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Remove dried material from tools and equipment mechanically.
- Coverage
- Ispica (Freestyle): Varies with technique.
- Genova (Fine Sand) - 130 -145 ft² (12.1-13.5 m²) per pail.
- Trieste (Medium Sand) -115 - 130 ft² (10.7-12.1 m²) per pail.
- San Remo (Coarse Sand) - 85 - 100 ft² (7.9-9.3 m²) per pail.
- Taormina (Fine Swirl) - 160 -180 ft² (14.8-16.7 m²) per pail.
- Graffiato (Medium Swirl) - 130 - 145 ft² (12.1-13.5m²) per pail.
Coverages may vary depending on application technique and surface conditions.
- Limitations
- Use Decolastic 250 Textured Finishes only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 45°F (4°C) and below 100°F (38°C) during application and drying period.
- Store Decoplast materials in a cool, dry place.
- Sloped surfaces: Refer to Decoplast details.
- Decolastic 250 Textured Finishes should not be used on weather-exposed horizontal or below grade surfaces or where immersion in water may occur.
- Do not apply Decolastic 250 Textured Finish to frozen surfaces.
