USG Boral Premium Premix joint compound is an air-drying, lightweight compound for all three coat applications or as a finishing coat for plasterboard joints, angles, and fastener heads.

• Easy sanding.
• Exceptional crack-resistance.
• Excellent bond.
• Smooth finish.

Usage:

• USG Boral Premium Premix is suitable for use as all three coats in the USG Boral three coat jointing system.

Mixing Process:

• Always use clean tools.
• Do not mix with residue of previously used compounds.
• Inclusion of such materials will impair the performance of this product and void the product warranty.
• USG Boral Premium Premix may appear thick in the pail. Before adding water, lightly mix the product and test its application. If required, add water to achieve the desired consistency.
• Caution: Avoid over-thinning when adding water as this may cause cracking and excessive shrinkage.
• If liquid has separated from the compound, stir carefully to restore consistency.
• Caution: Do not overmix. Overmixing can introduce air bubbles, which can create surface imperfections.

Application Process:

• Surfaces must be clean and free from dust.
• USG Boral Premium Premix may have high viscosity in the pail. It may be diluted to a workable viscosity by adding water followed by mechanical mixing.
• Can be applied by hand or with mechanical tools.
• When using USG Boral Premium Premix for al three coats, the first coat must be used to bed a high-quality paper tape.
