Plaster skimming to plasterboards is a popular method of providing a smooth, seamless surface ready to receive decorative treatment. Skim plastering gives many of the advantages of a traditional solid plaster finish combined with quick turnaround times on site. Gyproc jointing materials produce durable joint reinforcement and a smooth, continuous, crack-resistant surface ready for priming and final decoration. The materials can be applied either manually using hand tools, or mechanically, using SpeedTape tools. A number of jointing specifications are available to suit the board type, method of application and site requirements. The jointing process normally involves three application stages; bedding the tape and bulk filling the joint, secondary filling to take up shrinkage, and finishing. After drying, the complete surface is treated with Gyproc Drywall Primer or Gyproc Drywall Sealer dependant on the site specification.
