The wide range of consistency adjustment, tailored to the preferred application method, does not compromise the product’s high mechanical strength. The extended open time facilitates and streamlines application and finishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe next coat can be applied after just 30 minutes using the ‘wet-on-wet’ method or onto a fully set previous coat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe change in colour of the skim coat as it dries allows you to monitor the progress of the work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe applied skim coat can be sanded mechanically, by hand or wet finishing \u003c\/span\u003e– after initial setting, the compound is suitable for use with professional sanders fitted with appropriately selected sanding discs. The high hardness of the set skim coat reduces the risk of uncontrolled abrasion during mechanical sanding. For manual sanding, dry sanding using sandpaper or mesh with a grit size of 120–220. ‘Wet’ finishing using sponge pads allows the surface to be smoothed without dust, ensuring quick and clean work.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ATLAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57643576754551,"sku":null,"price":14.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1375\/1415\/files\/atlas_go_start_and_finish.png?v=1793095997","url":"https:\/\/renders-world.co.uk\/products\/atlas-go-foil-20kg-bag-start-finish-skim-coat","provider":"Renders World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
