Plastering on existing painted walls is possible if the paint is in very good condition (in terms of adhesion). It may be possible to wire brush the surface using a suitable detergent and apply ThistleBond-it prior to the application of Thistle MultiFinish. On most paints you can use ThistlePro UniFinish without the need for any pre-treatment. We suggest carrying out this procedure on a trial area to ascertain the suitability (adhesion). Please refer to WHITE BOOK Chapter 07 Section 02 Page 05 & Page 07 for more details.
Thistle MultiFinish is the most popular universal skim finish plaster for common backgrounds; it can be used as part of a two-coat plaster system or on plasterboard. Its flexibility also makes it an ideal choice for small repair jobs and patching.
Skimming with Thistle MultiFinish adds additional sound insulation to many of the GypWall CLASSIC systems by up to 2dB.
