Selecting the Best Type of Skim Coat for Your Project (A Buyer's Guide for Skim Coating Walls)

There are many factors to consider before you can select the right skim coat brand for your project. Aside from passing the standard tests for skim coats and the right skim coat properties, you should also need to determine what type of skim coat is best for your particular project requirements.

Skim coating can be a complicated process, especially when you're not familiar with the properties of the skim coat you are using, the surface conditions of the substrate, the formulation of the top coat, and other exterior elements that the skim coat will be exposed to.

During mixing, you can encounter many problems such as contaminations, wrong mixing or ratio, exceeding the pot life of skim coat, etc. During skim coat application, the type of skim coat you're using can drastically affect how the skim coat will perform for a long period of time.

There are so many factors that can affect the performance of the applied skim coat, which is why some high-quality skim coat still suffer from cracking, powdery, and adhesion failure. Therefore, the key to a successful application of skim coat is having enough product knowledge and other technicalities involving the skim coat you are using.

In this Episode of Magtanong Para Sigurado vlog, we have compared three types of skim coats that are very popular in the market today: Powder-Type, Paste-Type, and Hydrophobic Skim Coat.
