Overview:

Toupret Plaster of Paris is a fine, extra-white powder designed for interior decorative shaping, moulding, and finishing work. It sets quickly and mixes smoothly, making it well-suited for detailed or intricate applications where a clean result matters.

Once dry, the set plaster sands back with minimal effort and accepts any type of overcoat - from fillers and paints to wall coatings. There is no fill depth restriction, which gives you greater control over the scope of each application.

The 4kg bag provides a practical quantity for both small touch-up tasks and more substantial interior projects. Each kilogram of powder yields approximately 1.2 litres when mixed at the recommended ratio.

How to Use

• Prepare the substrate: Make sure the surface is hard, cohesive, clean, sound, and dry. Follow current trade practices for surface preparation. Moisten the substrate before application.

• Allow to dry: Leave for 24 to 72 hours before overcoating, depending on substrate, coat thickness, and ambient conditions. Large-volume applications may need longer drying time.
