Re-coating ACE Plaster Walls

Existing sealed ACE plaster may be re-coated only after:

1. Adding a minimum of 30% Add-Mix hardener to the additional coats.
OR
2. Coating the wall(s) with ACE sanded primer.

ACE unsealed plaster will tolerate additional coats without further wall preparation.

American Clay Black soap is not a sealant, it is an aesthetic enhancer. It is not
recommended in high humidity areas or areas that may get splashed.
