Adobe Plaster Tierrafino Base

Adobe plaster can be applied on both smooth and coarse substrates. All substrates should be dry, pure, strong and free of dust and grease.

Tierrafino Base adobe plaster is not suitable for use on permanently wet walls. In case of wet, moist walls it is necessary to create partition walls, using reed mats instead of plaster boards.
Interior application can be done directly onto substrates like brick walls, reed mats (mix straw into Tierrafino Base), chicken mesh or stucco-net.
As Tierrafino Base and clay finishes contain no glue, they set mechanically instead of chemically. For this reason it is necessary to create a coarse surface, i.e. a good mechanical key, on the wall to which the adobe plaster will set.

Smooth substrates

Plasterboards, pre-fab concrete, all smooth substrates also smooth bricks and paint should be treated with Tierrafino Contact, this is a primer containing quartz sands. Plasterboards: always stick joint tape onto joints and fill them with joint filler before applying Tierrafino Contact and Tierrafino Base.

Coarse substrates

Tierrafino Base is very suitable for flattening out inconsistencies in existing surfaces. Often this can be done using a single layer of Tierrafino Base, but it possible to apply more than one layer of adobe plaster. Depending on your wishes, you can apply each consecutive layer of Tierrafino Base at a thickness of approx. 10 mm to create new shapes in your home, like smooth curves in corners of walls, and from walls to ceiling.
