Mixing:

mixer to prepare the material. Add ½ the required water and all the powder to a clean pail. Add the additional water while
mixing the plaster. Add enough water to bring to a working consistency. Do not exceed 2 minutes of mixing time per
batch and the water quantities specified above. Thoroughly clean pail and drill mixer before mixing another batch.
Application:
Apply California One Coat or California Kwik Patch with a hawk and trowel. Press firmly into place making sure to imbed
the plaster into gypsum or metal lath bases. Do not apply more than ¾” in one pass.
If additional thickness is needed, leave the first coat with a rough surface. Apply the second coat only when the first coat
is sufficiently hard so as not to be damaged by the additional application of material. Do not build the second coat to
greater than ¼” in thickness.
California One Coat may be feathered to a thin edge to blend patches.
The following characteristics are based on moderate humidity and an ambient temperature of 70°F / 21°C:
