To start the wall is cleaned of residual materials of all kinds, whether bumps frozen solution remaining after masonry walls, old wallpaper and plaster or peeling paint - whatever it was - it must be removed!

work on cleansing the surface produce a spatula, a chisel, a hammer, you can use electrical analogues (such as punch with flat nozzles or Bulgarian).Before cleaning the walls need to disconnect the wiring of the room, if you can not do this, disable the whole house.This is a very important aspect of safety, there is always a chance of hurt wires hidden in the wall.

Align wall - rough stage - stage roughing

comes next after cleaning the surface.At this stage, the walls produce a primer, allowed to dry, then tensioned and fixed plaster mesh across the cultivated area securing plaster beacons (templates).They correctly fastened on the stretched braid or use a laser level.There are several types of patterns, in each case taking into account the need to choose their maximum value tuberosity walls.Thus, to the top of Beacon 5-10 mm towered above the wall protruding point.

After installation, plastering template proceed directly to the rough plaster starting mixture.And even at this stage you do not mind the question of how to align the wall plaster is perfect - in the draft stage, the basic error of clean walls (large bulges and cavities).Preliminary layer must not cover the top of the lighthouse, is to leave 5 mm for finishing plaster wall finish.

application solution on the surface of the wall is performed by plastering trowel with a pointed nose.Mixtures of plastering used depending on the type of wall, that is, for each type (wood, stone, brick, plasterboard, for wet rooms, etc) should be applied special plaster.

After applying the rough layer is allowed to dry, and it is applied on top of the final coat of plaster mixture already at the top of most beacons.A solution of the finishing plaster before applying to be a very good mix with a mixer to obtain a homogeneous mass without lumps to ensure the highest level surface.After applying the topcoat it is allowed to dry and overwritten until a perfectly flat surface.
