Main settings
Technical characteristics of Tiefengrund:
During operation, the product is diluted with water up to 50%. Before priming, carefully prepare the walls so that material consumption is minimal. The base is cleaned of dirt, grease and dust, and dried. If there are flaking and crumbling particles on the ceiling, floor, or room walls, remove them.
The first step is to carry out test smears to determine the appropriate level of dilution with water. This is explained by the different structure of the materials. For drywall, one coat of primer is enough. The manufacturer does not recommend using Tiefengrund on oil-adhesive putty walls.
What to apply
A construction brush or roller is used as a tool to help evenly distribute the soil over the surface. Sometimes the substance is sprayed. After the first layer, apply the next one immediately, without drying, but be sure to monitor the consumption. You cannot overuse the material, as this can lead to glassing. The composition is diluted with water no more than 1:1, that is, the maximum amount of water per package of soil (10 l) is equal.
The mixture is stored in a tightly closed factory container at above-zero temperatures. Freezing the product is under no circumstances allowed!
