Overview
JK Wall Putty is a white cement based fine powder which provides an ideal base for concrete / cement plastered walls and ceilings. It gives you the most beautiful walls, is damp resistant and provides a smooth finish for further application of all kinds of paints. Its water repelling properties prevents flaking of your expensive paints.
JK Wall Putty is much better than ordinary putty as it becomes an integral part of the plaster due to its White Cement constitution. This gives better compatibility, adhesive-strength and a long-life to JK Wall Putty.
Giving your home a stunning makeover is essential for leaving an everlasting impression on the people around you. Experimenting with the colour wheel and creating textures on the walls of your home can add to uplift the cheerful feeling within us. That said, while painting is the best alternative to enhance the aesthetics of your home decor, integrating wall putty in your home refurbishing essentials ensures that their beauty prolongs.

How to Apply Wall Putty
Step1- Surface Preparation
Clean the surface thoroughly. It is essential to free the surface prior to wall putty application from oil, solvents, dirt and dust.
Step 2- Mixing
Mixing with a mechanical stirrer is recommended to make a homogenous and lump-free paste. JKCement wall putty and its variants should be mixed slowly to form a smooth, and homogenous paste. Wait for 5 minutes before applying the paste. Furthermore, the prepared paste should be applied within 2-3 hours.
Step 3- Pre-wetting the wall
Before wall putty application, pre-wet the wall surface to remove loose dust particles.
Step 4- Application
Using a spatula/ blade/ trowel, apply the first coat of the homogenous paste from the bottom to the top and the second coat horizontally.
Step 5- Second coat
Once the first coat dries, clean the surface to remove loose particles with a sponge/ cloth/ putty blade before the second coat application.
Step 6- Drying
Before the application of distemper or paint for a premium look, wait for the surface to dry completely.
