CERTAINTEED 2L Pail Easi-Fil Premix All Purpose Compound

• All purpose drywall compound provide high-quality drywall joint finishing with ready-to-use convenience
• Used for embedding tape and for concealing andfinishing joints, fasteners, and trim accessories on gypsum wallboard, in applications where the use of a single compound for both taping and finishing is desired
• Can be applied manually or with mechanicaltools

FEATURES:

• Factory mixed to ensure uniform consistencyand to save time on the job
• Used for taping, covering and finishingcoats on wallboard joints, for concealing fastener holes and corner bead, and for repairing cracks and holes
• Sands easily and feathers to smooth edge
• Liquid content is carefully controlled at thefactory to ensure minimum shrinkage

COVERAGE:

• Approximate coverage in kilograms of compound per 100 m2 (1000 ft 2) of drywall panel is as follows: Regular – All-Purpose Compound (3 coats) 55-68 kg
• 47 sq.ft. of drywall

STORAGE:

• Rotate stock to avoid aging problems

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wallboard joints are normally finished usingthree coats of compound; the first to embed the tape, the second to cover the tape, and the third to finish the joint
• These compounds can be used for all three coats
• Apply the first coat to the joint in a band about64 mm (2-1/2″) wide
• Centre tape over joint and embed with a broadknife
• Allow to dry for 24 hours
• Apply second (cover) and third (finishing)coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly
• Sand between coats, if necessary
• Feather edges of each coat 50 mm (2″) beyond the previous coat
• Finished joint should be about 350 mm(14″) wide
• Allow to dry for 24 hours before sanding
• Use 120 grit sandpaper for the Regular and150 grit for the Lite and Semi-Lite on a hand or pole sander
• Do not sand the surface wallboard paper
• Note: to avoid dust, joints can be finishedby wet sanding or sponging rather than dry sanding
• If dry sanding, ventilate the area and wear eye protection and a respirator
• For best results, apply a primer-sealer priorto painting or wallpapering
• For severe lighting conditions, or if a glosspaint is to be applied as the finish coat, it is recommended that the entire surface of the wallboard receive a skim coat of compound before applying the primer-sealer
• This will assist in equalizing the rate of absorb-tion of the gloss paint and help to avoid flashing at the joints

MIXING:

• Re-mix before and during use, if compound hasseparated
• To thin, add no more than 40 ml (1.5oz) of cleanwater per kilogram of compound
• Mixing by drill motor, particularly at thinner consistencies, may entrap air in the mix, possilby resulting in “pin holes” in the finish
• Mixing at low RPM or by hand will minimize airentrapment

DRYING TIME:

• Approximately 24 hours depending ontemperature and relative humidity
