    Default Relining with Diamond Brite

    The original Diamond Brite had broken patches, and is being replaced with new Diamond Brite over the original, as suggested by the plasterer.

    Having a SWCG, I would like to know if anyone waits until the new plaster is cured before adding salt.

    I was wondering if this was responsible for the initial failure.

    Any thoughts on this.

    There have been a few posts about the finish installers stating that you should wait until the finish cures (2-4 weeks) before starting up the SWCG. The installation company should be able to inform you on when it's okay to start it (accoridng to the warranty).
