  • Binders.Polymeric materials can be used, linseed oil, oil paints and varnishes, according to the destination type.
  • Fillers.This element divides the filler to the polymer, cement and plaster.
  • coloring pigment (zinc white, ocher, umber, powder coatings).

gypsum mixture used for putty joints on gypsum board surfaces, concrete, brick.They are also used for sealing large cracks and unevenness.A major disadvantage is their inability to use in rooms with high humidity and in places with large temperature differences.For such rooms is better to use putty, cement-base, because they have an excellent resistance to moisture.However, due to shrinkage of the mixture must be applied in several layers.Polymeric fillers are at the basis of polymeric adhesives, which makes this kind of mixes universal.

At the same time, this kind of material is the most expensive, but has a low consumption and high ductility.

Types of finishing mixtures

All fillers can be divided into ready-to-use and dry.The dry mix is ​​used to align the walls and ceiling.Before you use it, you need to mix it according to instructions with water.For the final work ready solutions are used more often.They are much reduce the labor and time required to perform the work.In addition they can be used to achieve a perfectly flat and smooth surface.

Fillers can be done at home.Recipes its production there is a huge amount, but always the same components are linseed oil, chalk, gypsum screened, animal glue or carpenter and varnishes.Stirring in various proportions of these components can be prepared by various characteristics of the mixture.

for surfaces that will be further processed in other ways, is a special blend.For its production need: 25 grams of linseed oil, 1 kg of 10% glue and 2.5 kilograms of sifted chalk.First of all, the solution is heated, then mixed with linseed oil and brought to a homogeneous mass.After that chalk is added.

Tip!In such a solution can be added to the soap, as it makes more fluid putty.
