Mixing:

Add ½ the required water and all the powder to a clean pail. Add the additional water while mixing the plaster. Add enough water to bring to a working consistency. Do not exceed 2 minutes of mixing time per batch and the water quantities specified above. Thoroughly clean pail and drill mixer before mixing another batch.

Application:
Apply California One Coat or California Kwik Patch with a hawk and trowel. Press firmly into place making sure to imbed the plaster into gypsum or metal lath bases. Do not apply more than ¾" in one pass.

If additional thickness is needed, leave the first coat with a rough surface. Apply the second coat only when the first coat is sufficiently hard so as not to be damaged by the additional application of material. Do not build the second coat to greater than ¼" in thickness.

California One Coat may be feathered to a thin edge to blend patches.
