Filling, in general
Filling of design panels deviates from the general filling instructions according to Danogips board constructions, as the perforation gives certain limits in connection with the filling. The following describes the best possible way of a satisfactory filling, which takes cracks and a ceiling surface without visible joints into account. The condition is, however, that the instructions are followed accurately and that there are no movements in the building and the construction of the ceiling. Straight cut short edges and joints are filled with Uniflot filler. Ensure that straight and cut edges have been bevelled before the filling is started. Danogips Grund and Finish is used for filling screw heads and tapered joints. Tapered joints must be stripped with paper filling tape. Cover the perforations with tape before filling the joints.
Filling process A, straight edges
Sprinkle Uniflot filling powder into pure water and stir well in order for it to reach a homogenous texture. Fill the joints well and pinch the filler up between the panels. Cut off any excess material after 45 minutes, Uniflot hardens quickly. It is important to remove any excess filler in order to obtain a clean transition to the ceiling surface. Grind off minor irregularities. Finish off with a filling as described under third filling.
Filling process B, tapered edges
First filling
Use a 2-inch filling knife and apply the Grund filler, which is watery, so it spreads onto the filling tape and into the crack between the panels. The filling ought to be carried out in such a way that a final grinding is unnecessary once the filler has hardened completely.
Second filling
Grund filler is also used for the second filling. By resting the hand against the design panel the filling knife is wielded along the middle of the first filling - first on one side then on the other. Use a 2-inch filling knife and apply the filler twice. The filling ought to be carried out in such a way that a final grinding is unnecessary once the filler has dried completely after 24 hours.
Third filling
Use Finish for the third filling, which has to be a very thin coat and use a 4-inch filling knife. Wield the filling knife with a uniform and gliding motion in order to minimise the final grinding. When the filler has dried, sandpaper the surface.
