Choosing the right notched squeegee is the first step to getting the proper coverage. The thickness of the material application differs with each size of notched squeegee used:
- 1/8” notch- 8 mils
- 3/16” notch- 16 mils
- 1/4” notch- 20 mils
- 3/8” notch- 40 mils
In addition to using the proper squeegee, mark out each mix by placing a piece of tape on the wall prior to installation. This is a quick step to ensure that enough material to complete the job is onsite, as well as provides a visual marker to monitor coverage throughout the install.
A notched squeegee needs to be replaced approximately every 1,000 sq. ft., depending on the roughness of the substrate.
