Apply Gyproc Joint Filler to the beaded frame overlapping onto the plasterboard surface. Bed Gyproc Joint Tape firmly into the Filler, ensuring it coversthe junction between the beaded frame and the plasterboardand does not overlap the lip of the panel door frame. Follow immediately with a further application of Filler to fillout flush from the lip of the panel door frame to theplasterboard surface, feathering into the field of the board.Surplus Filler should be removed from the panel door frame witha damp cloth or sponge. Finish the joint by applying one or two coats of Gyproc JointCement, Gyproc Ready-Mix Joint Cement or Gyproc Lite-Mix JointCement as required. Alternatively, use Gyproc Easi-Fillthroughout, adopting the same procedures.
