UPA Southern Green Finishing Top Coat is specially formulated for quality hand and machine finishing of plasterboard joints. Encompassing a ready-mixed non-asbestos vinyl formulation, it is used for embedding joint fibre tape, for filling and for final touch-up coats in interior plasterboard applications. It is an ideal compound for covering embedded fasteners, corner beads and for skim coating panel surfaces where necessary.

Applications
UPA Southern Green Finishing Top Coat should only be applied onto dry surfaces. Apply thoroughly and allow each coat to dry before applying any further coats.

i) Joint Finishing
For joints between panels, fill with compound using 150mm (6") blade knife. Embed the tape and press in with knife. Remove any excess compound and then apply thin even coat over the tape. Apply a second coat at joints and fasteners, smoothing out 50mm beyond first coat and allow to dry. Apply final thin finishing coat to joints and fasteners if required and let dry.

ii) To Finish Inside Corners
Apply compound to both sides (150mm blade knife). Fold tape along centre and press into position. Embed the tape with knife. Remove any excess compound and then apply an even thin coat over the tape. Apply a second coat on one side and allow to dry. Then apply coat to the other side in a similar fashion. Apply a final thin finish then smooth the finished coat.

iii) To Finish Outside Corners
Fasten metal corner bead directly onto drywall. Similar to above applications, apply 3 coats of compound.
