DIY Wet Area Base Coat
Gyprock DIY Wet Area Base Coat is a moisture resistant compound used for the taping and second coat when jointing plasterboard and fibre cement sheets in areas subject to moisture or high humidity.
Typical Applications
DIY Wet Area Base Coat is typically used as the first and second coat in a 3 coat plasterboard or fibre cement jointing system. It is ideal for use in internal wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundries as well as alfresco areas. Only two coats are required if the joint is to be a substrate for tiles. For other applications a final coat of topping compound is required.
