SOLO® Plaster can be used as a single coat on a wide range of indoor backgrounds to achieve a high-quality textured finish which is ready to decorate, on multiple surfaces including paper-faced plasterboard, masonry and woodfibre insulation panels, saving both time and labour.

Solo is highly permeable to water vapour and so allows moisture to escape, while also creating a healthier living environment. High quality lime and carefully chosen proportions of low colour sand and chalk are mixed, and ready in the bag, so only water needs to be added. A few minutes mixing using normal tools and Solo lime plaster will mix up to a creamy consistency, ready to go.

Lime has been used for thousands of years and its aesthetic lustre has a timeless quality. It has a naturally off-white finish which can look much more matt than many paints.

Features and benefits:

One-coat. Breathable. Authentic. Flexible.
No fuss. No waiting. No chemicals.
Solo OneCoat has all the qualities of traditional lime plaster without the limitations.
CE marked.

For some backgrounds, like old masonry, an undercoat of Duro may be required. Waterproof building boards and old but sound lime plaster may require the brush-on Solo Primer.

Common uses

Woodfibre insulation boards: Skim on Solo in two passes with mesh in between, around 10 mm thick.
Plasterboard: standard (non-waterproof) paper-faced plasterboards need skimming and a coat of about 3 mm.
Waterproof plasterboard: Seal with an acrylic primer before applying a 3 mm skim of Solo.
Building boards: Products like Fermacel or Mag Oxide will need a coat of Solo Primer before skimming.
Lime undercoats: Key up Ultra or Duro and leave to set, before applying a coat of Solo at 3 to 5 mm thick.
Old lime plaster: If it is unpainted, apply Solo Primer first before skimming with Solo. Alternatively, Solo Filler can be used to replace both.
