1. Thistle Magnetic Plaster
An innovative new plaster that attracts magnets

2. What is it? Thistle Magnetic Plaster is a finish coat plaster
It contains unique properties which means that magnets stick to it
Applied in the same way as Thistle MultiFinish, but slightly thicker at a minimum of 3mm
A bag contains enough for 5m2 at 3mm thick

3. Should I apply it thicker than 3mm?
Thistle Magnetic Plaster
Should I apply it thicker than 3mm?
We recommend it is applied at a thickness of between 3mm and 5mm. Above this thickness, the magnetic attraction does not improve significantly enough to offset the additional material required

Other things to know
The plaster should not be worked to a polished finish – this will make the magnets slide down the wall as there is not enough friction
It will not affect TVs, pace makers, wi-fi signals or any electrical equipment in the house as the plaster is not magnetic itself
You cannot stick metal to it, it is not magnetic; think of it like a fridge door which attracts magnets
There are no negative health impacts because it is the same as any other plaster
The plaster is a grey colour because of the additives used

6. How much weight can it hold?
Thistle Magnetic Plaster
How much weight can it hold?
The strength of the magnetic attraction depends on a number of variables, some of which are out of our control:
The thickness of the plaster applied
The quality of the magnet used
The size (surface area) of the magnet used
The texture of the wall surface
If the wall is totally smooth, the weight a magnet can hold in place will be reduced. A heavy poster held in position on a rough wall may slide to the floor on a smooth wall due to the lack of friction between the poster and the wall
Take a look at our YouTube channel – our technical department have managed to hang a TV on a magnetic wall!!
