This time around, I wanted to talk a little more about resurfacing and the use of basecoat. There are two major advantages to the latter: First is that it sets up in a relatively short amount of time, and second is that a very thick application can be put on. This gives the user the upper hand when it comes to smoothing and putting back into shape walls or ceilings that have been hit hard with an ugly stick. Another nice thing about basecoat is that it can be mixed up in one large batch, and then accelerator can be added to a hawk full at a time. Let’s take a look at some pictures that give examples of this and other ways basecoat is used.
