RUCO RuCoat Equalizer - 5 Gallon Pail

RuCoat® Equalizer is a specially formulated product designed to minimize surface texture and porosity differences between wallboard face paper and finished joints in new drywall construction. “Joint banding” and “photographing” are common problems that occur due to the differences in absorption rates between drywall face paper and joint compound. This is especially problematic when viewed in direct natural lighting conditions. Ordinary primers/sealers do not adequately address this situation either because they simply provide a film that covers the surface or they lack the necessary type and amount of pigments and/or fillers. RuCoat Equalizer solves this problem by equalizing the porosity of the wallboard face paper and joint compound, thus minimizing the surface texture differences. The result is a more uniform surface that dramatically improves the finish coat.

Advantages

• Efficient: Equalizes porosity differences for fewer decorating problems 
• Consistent: Minimizes surface texture variations
• Fast Set: Dries to the touch in less than 30 minutes
• Distinct Finish: Excellent wet and dry hide
• Even Surface: Smooth, lump-free consistency
• Flexible Application: Applies with roller, brush, airless, or conventional sprayer

Limitations

• Not recommended as a final coat. Should be overpainted when dry
• Avoid freezing, excessive heat, exposure to direct sunlight and other extreme conditions
• Not recommended over new plaster finishes
• Over-thinning will yield unsatisfactory results
• Once dry, utilize a high quality size for wallpaper and vinyl applications
