APPLICATION

 

1. To begin taping, brush on a 5-6” wide stripe of GacoDeck coating, centering the stripe over joints or cracks. Work in small sections, as Latex coatings dry quickly.
2. While coating is still wet, embed polyester tape smoothly into the coating. Brush another layer of coating over the tape, smoothing out any wrinkles.
3. Allow the surface to dry. For a seamless finish, lightly sand the edges of the coated tape with medium grit sandpaper before applying the first coat of GacoDeck.
