Installation Guide
How to Install
The mesh should be applied after the first coat of Lime Green Solo has been applied and is still wet. Place the mesh onto the plaster and gently smooth it with a trowel until it is stuck. Do not use heavy pressure.
On areas larger than the width of the roll, the overlaps should be at least 100mm. There is a 100mm wide orange guide on the mesh to make this easy. You simply line-up the second length of mesh with the edge of the orange line and the overlap will be 100mm.
Hints & Tips
The second coat of Lime Green Solo, should be applied once the first is dry (at 16-17°C this is approximately 2 hours). The mesh should be entirely covered by the plaster embedded within the top 50% of the total thickness and must not be visible on the surface.
