Properly repairing the BASWA Phon System ensures a monolithic surface appearance. The video above shows step by step how to patch the system. It is critical to follow the repair guidelines in order to not have negative impact on the function of the system.
Directions
Properly repairing the BASWA Phon System ensures a monolithic surface appearance.
1. Identify the area of damage or imperfection.
2. Gather the tools needed for repair. This includes:
BASWA tape or thin adhesive tape
Utility knife
Trowel
Japanese Spatula or Japanese Finish Trowel
BASWA Sanding Tool
3. Utilizing a utility knife and the BASWA Sanding Tool as a straight edge, penetrate the surface just enough to remove the damaged portion.
Be cautious to not cut any deeper than necessary.
Remove any loose material (keeping repair to a minimum size) and keeping a crisp edge.
4. Using a trowel carefully carve out the area of repair.
5. Tape around the area that needs patching with the adhesive tape.
6. Apply mixed BASWA material (either Base or Fine) fill to the repair area.
Fill the area of damage with the proper finish material flush with adhesive tape adjoining the repair.
7. Ensure the area of repair is level with the surrounding area by sanding in with the BASWA Sanding Tool.
8. Once this patch is troweled down tightly with the proper trowels remove the tape.
9. Trowel down a couple more times to blend the material into the surrounding area.
