b) Marking & Levelling
 Level pad will be marked at level of 1.0 mtr.
 Button mark will be fixed

c) Bondit application for RCC Surface

 Apply Bondit bonding agent on to the RCC surface
 GI mesh will be installed at junction of concrete and masonry and electrical conduits
 Shake and stir the contents of Gyproc bondit thoroughly before use and apply as a
single coat application.
 Do not dilute contents of Gyproc bondit.
 Apply with even distribution of fine aggregates over the surface with a paint brush.
 Allow it to dry thoroughly before starting the Gypsum Application.
 The bonding agent dries within 30 minutes and the gypsum plaster can be applied
anytime within 24 hours once the drying is complete.

d) Application
 Take full hands with plaster out of the bucket and apply them pad by pad, one next
to the other to the wall. The pads should be thicker as the final plaster thickness
given by the gages. The plaster pads should not start to flow down. Otherwise, the
consistency of the plaster is still too liquid (in case mix more powder in)
 When the bucket is emptied, another parallel mixed bucket of plaster can be applied
the same way.
 Then take the ruler and level the plaster along the gages
 Scratched off material can be applied in not completely filled spots
 Within maximum three “scratches”, the plaster surface should be closed well and
even
 When the plaster starts to set, a final “scratch” can be done, to smoothen the
surface
 Termination line should be in line with the level.
 After the application, the area will be cleaned using vacuum cleaner.

Application methodology on RCC walls with Gypsum Plaster

 clean the surface thoroughly
 water wash if required and allowed to dry
 Shake and stir the contents of Adhesive thoroughly before use and apply as single coat
 Application through brush or sprayer
 Do not dilute the content
 Apply with even distribution over the surface
 Allow to dry for 24 hours till the surface become tacky
 Start applying gypsum or ready plaster as per the need

10. Manpower
The sufficient number of workers (Gypsum Workers, helpers, Foreman etc.) will be employed as per site
requirement to perform their duties and they will have sufficient tools and tackles to completed the work
assigned to them.
