What is Plasterers Colour Trace?

ColourTrace is a green pigment designed to be mixed with PVA or SBR (Standard Bonding Agent) for plastering. It allows plasterers to easily see where the bonding agent has been applied, ensuring full coverage and enhancing the overall efficiency of the plastering process.

How does Plasterers Colour Trace help me while plastering?

By mixing ColourTrace with your PVA or SBR, you create a visible green tint. This tint makes it easy to identify where the bonding agent has been applied, reducing the risk of missed spots. It improves accuracy, minimises rework, and helps you achieve an even coat more quickly.

How much Colour Trace should I use with PVA or SBR?

We recommend using 70ml of Plasterers Colour Trace per 5 liters of PVA or SBR. If you’re using diluted PVA or SBR (mixed with water), the same 70ml should be added per 5 liters of the combined solution. You can adjust the amount based on your desired shade of green for better visibility.

How do I use Plasterers Colour Trace?

To use, shake the bottle well and allow the solution to settle. Turn the bottle upside down to dispense the desired amount, using the 70ml measurement guide as a reference. Add the solution to 5 liters of PVA or SBR (or diluted PVA/SBR) and mix thoroughly. Adjust the amount of Colour Trace to your preference for a lighter or darker shade of green. Always store the bottle upright after use.

Will Plasterers Colour Trace stain my tools or clothing?

Yes, Colour Trace contains a strong dye, so it may permanently stain unintended surfaces. We recommend wearing protective clothing and taking extra care to avoid spills. If spills occur, clean them immediately with a cloth and warm water to prevent staining.

Is Plasterers Colour Trace safe to use?

Plasterers Colour Trace is safe to use when following the provided instructions. However, it is important to avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses. The product contains chemicals that may cause allergic reactions, so be cautious. For full safety guidelines, consult the product label.

Can I use Plasterers Colour Trace with any PVA or SBR?

Yes, Plasterers Colour Trace is compatible with any brand of PVA or SBR. Simply add the solution to your preferred bonding agent, and the green pigment will help you track where it’s been applied, regardless of the product brand.

Does Plasterers Colour Trace fade after application?

No, Plasterers Colour Trace does not fade. In fact, the product dries two shades darker than when it is first applied. This allows you to easily see where the first coat has been applied and helps you track areas that may need a second coat. The green shade applies lighter and darkens as it dries, providing a clear visual guide for efficient application.
