If you are a born craftsman or want to independently start repairing an apartment, then your task, which is one of the main ones, is the wall plaster.
There are several types of plaster: fur coat, rough and facing (the most popular for repairs in the apartment).
A fur coat is the application of a liquid cement mortar on the wall, using a brush or broom method on wet walls. This technology is not popular, but quite simple, used more often in external wall decorations. And it is interesting in its structure, does not require superficial improvements, but only competently selected painting.
In order to mell up the walls with a fur coat, you need a solution of sand, cement and water in terms of the ratio of 1-o cement bucket to the 2nd sand, and bringing the solution, to a slightly liquid structure, a valve of water. Today, a bag of cement costs 260 rubles, and a bag of sand – 80 rubles. That is why this type of decoration is considered the most economical.
When mixing the solution, it must be remembered that it is impossible to pour water or not, the solution should easily be scattered into the walls, while not flowing down. Next, select a good comfortable broom or brush at the same time, before lowering it into the solution, soak for about 5 minutes in water. For such work, also, a good wide spatula from 15 to 20 cm will definitely come in handy to remove the unnecessary solution that adhered to the ceiling or floor.
Rough plaster is used everywhere, this is a preparatory first layer that should remove the walls to one level with a minimum deviation. This layer is applied to the wall, to which the beacons fitted by level are exhibited, and the layer is brought to an accurate coincidence with the end of the beach, by the method of conducting the rule, removing the unnecessary layer of the solution.
To speed up the work and generally do it, the following is necessary:
one.Beacons in the form of metal strips specially used to set the level;
2. The level that will be the eye of the ideal for you;
3. Spatula with a width of 10 cm;
four. Well, of course, the solution.
You need to be careful when performing such a job. There should not be a void anywhere, otherwise your whole work will not lead to the desired result.
And of course, the facing, the most responsible and required maximum effort of plaster. It is used in the interior decoration in preparing walls for painting or wallpapering. It is applied to coarse plaster or already finished, but fitted wall. The solution for this type of plaster is wiped through a small sieve already mixed, in order to avoid lumps and garbage. The structure of the solution should be slightly liquid for easy application to the wall. To work with the facing layer, a wide spatula is required 15-20 cm., sieve, grout and water, to wet the grout.
In each of the above, the listed method is enough. You just need to choose the necessary for you and decide on the volume of work. In order to get the desired result, carefully choose the brand of cement, check the level well, because it is not for nothing that they say- “measure seven times, cut it off once!””
