It is a cement-based or polymer-enhanced filler that smooths out uneven wall surfaces, fills cracks, and creates a flawless, paint-ready finish. This product offers excellent adhesion, water resistance, and durability, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including concrete, plaster, and gypsum walls.


How Do You Use Duracoat Skimcoat Wall Skimming Filler?

Duracoat Skimcoat is used to:

  1. Smooth Surfaces: It creates a uniform surface by filling in imperfections such as holes, cracks, and rough textures.
  2. Prepare for Painting: It provides a smooth base that enhances the appearance and durability of the paint finish.
  3. Protect Walls: Its water-resistant properties help protect walls from moisture damage, especially in exterior applications.

Application Process

1. Preparation

  • Surface Cleaning: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles.
  • Repair Cracks: Fill large cracks or holes with an appropriate filler and allow them to dry.
  • Mixing: Prepare the skim coat mixture as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, mix the powder with clean water to achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency.

2. Application

  • First Coat:
    1. Use a steel trowel or spatula to apply a thin layer (1–2mm) of Duracoat Skimcoat.
    2. Spread evenly across the surface, ensuring complete coverage.
    3. Allow it to dry for the recommended time (usually 4–6 hours).
  • Second Coat:
    1. Apply a second layer if needed for enhanced smoothness and uniformity.
    2. Smooth out any ridges or overlaps from the first coat.
    3. Allow it to dry completely.

3. Finishing

  • Sanding: Lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper to remove minor imperfections and achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove sanding dust.
  • Painting: Once fully dry and smooth, apply a suitable primer before painting for the best results.
