The surface is thoroughly rubbed to obtain a distemper. Important points to note are:
Newly plastered surfaces are to be left exposed for 2 months or more to dry before applying distemper. The presence of moisture on the surface is the result of distemper coating failure.
The surface must be free of any flower patches to obtain the distemper. The patch is to be cleaned with a clean cloth.
Surface irregularities such as cracks and holes are filled with lime plaster or gypsum and allowed to harden before applying a distemper to the surface.
If the distemper is to be applied to an existing damaged surface, the old distemper should be removed by high water application.
