Why Tartasha

The problem it solves.

The challenge

Plaster falls off surfaces it can't grip. Smooth concrete gives plaster nothing to key into.

What makes it different

A keying coat that lets plaster bond and stay.

Who it's for

Plasterers preparing walls before rendering.

Where to use it

Concrete, block and smooth substrates before plaster.
