Before diving into the application process, let’s understand why Levelplast stands out:
• No Curing Required – Saves time and water.
• High Water Resistance – Protects walls from moisture damage.
• Best Compressive Strength – Ensures durability.
• Ready-Mix Formula – Eliminates guesswork in mixing.
• Eco-Friendly – Free from harmful chemicals and has anti-carbonation properties
Ideal for both interior and exterior surfaces, Levelplast is a top choice for modern homes.
1. Surface Preparation
A flawless plaster application starts with proper surface prep:
• Remove dirt, grease, and loose particles using a wire brush, chisel, or emery stone.
• Wash the surface with clean water to eliminate dust.
• Check for undulations—fill deep cracks or holes with Levelplast mix before the main application.
Pro Tip: For old plaster surfaces, ensure all flaking or weak areas are scraped off.

2. Moistening the Surface
• Lightly pre-wet the wall or ceiling with clean water before applying plaster.
• This prevents the surface from absorbing moisture too quickly from the mix, which can lead to cracks.
3. Mixing Levelplast
• For a 20kg bag, follow the recommended water ratio:
o First coat (2-4mm): 25% water
o Second coat (5-8mm): 22% water
o Third coat (9-12mm): 20% water
o Final finish (1-2mm): 25% water
• Use a mechanical stirrer for 5-7 minutes to achieve a lump-free, smooth paste.
• The mix remains workable for 1-2 hours, so use it within this time.
Note: Never re-use hardened plaster by adding water—it compromises strength.
4. Applying the Plaster
Levelplast is applied in multiple coats depending on the required thickness:
For 10mm Thickness (Ideal for Smooth Surfaces):
• 1st Coat (2-4mm): Apply evenly with a trowel or Gurmala.
• 2nd Coat (2-4mm): After the first coat dries, apply the second layer.
• 3rd Coat (1-2mm): A thin final coat for a smooth finish.
For 25mm Thickness (For Uneven Walls):
• 1st Coat (2-4mm): Base layer for adhesion.
• 2nd Coat (5-8mm): Builds thickness and levels the surface.
• 3rd Coat (9-12mm): Final layer for a uniform finish.
Key Tip: Apply in 6-8mm increments per coat to avoid sagging.
5. Smoothing & Finishing
• Once the final coat is dry to touch, rub the surface with No. 320 emery paper for an ultra-smooth finish.
• For the best results, apply 1-2 coats of putty before painting.
6. Drying & Curing (Not Required!)
Unlike traditional plaster, Levelplast is curing-free, meaning:
• No need for water sprinkling.
• Faster project completion.
• Ready for putty/paint once fully dry (usually 24-48 hours).
Precautions for a Perfect Finish
• Avoid midday application on exterior walls (especially in summer) to prevent rapid drying.
• Check for undulations before applying putty—surface should not deviate more than 1mm.
• Use safety gear (gloves, goggles, mask) to avoid skin/eye contact.
• Store leftovers properly in a cool, dry place (shelf life: 6 months).
