Plaster bathroom , master the technique

first stage - preparation of base

At the beginning of any work, it is important to prepare the surface.That is, clear it of old plaster and paint.If it is new, the walls must be cleaned of dirt, dust, grease and bitumen stains.The spots of ink removed by burning blowtorches method or by using a special solution.Preparing the solution in a ratio of 8: 2, wherein 8 - is a mixture of lime and 2 - an aqueous solution of caustic soda.

not enough rough wall to be treated or cutting a notch for better adhesion (adhesion with the wall plaster).In some cases, a sandblaster.

If the grout will have brick walls that are filled joints, their preliminary notch or scratched to a depth of about 10-15 mm.Formed after the process dust is removed.If the joints are not filled, the incision is not made as a wall already possess the necessary roughness.

second stage - the application of the rendering

The main purpose of this procedure - a strong bond with the surface of the solution to fill the existing irregularities.It is a first (initial) layer of plaster finishes.To use the scratch coat is enough liquid plaster (creamy consistency).

moistened with water before the rendering base.Is applied by solution "for spraying," the thickness of the resulting layer should not be more than 5 mm.Only on the basis of wood layer can reach 9 mm.Most often, this layer is not smooth and leveled.

third stage - priming walls

scratch coat primer is applied to a continuous layer.The layer thickness when using lime-gypsum solutions should be about 0.7 centimeters when using solutions containing cement, about 0.5 centimeters.

If one layer was not enough, then put the second layer is thicker.Just to put it is when the first has already managed to grab.The primer throw, plaster and align special spreader with a length of 70-100 cm.In this case the direction of motion can be any trowel.

fourth stage - plaster walls

This stage can be subdivided into 2 types: plaster bathroom walls for further finishing (application tile) or the application of finishing decorative layer.The difference between the two is just the right choice of materials and layer thickness.Decorating the bathroom with decorative plaster is made with a layer thickness of about 0.4-0.7 cm, and usually up to 0.2 centimeters.

technology application plaster is quite simple.First, the soil is moistened.Next, on the edge of a wide spatula to apply the mixture and an even layer is smeared on the wall.When smearing is advisable to keep a spatula at an angle of 15-20 grams.Uncured layer is overwritten with a special float.Do circular rotation counterclockwise.When grout float on the projections slightly pressed, and when the recesses vice versa.If

textured plaster in the bathroom will be done, then this layer is applied textured, decorative layer.Use a spatula with a narrow width of 8-12 cm.At this stage, any patterns may be created and drawings.Movement of the trowel can also be varied.It may be: circular, movement "up and down" and many others.

«Attention!During plastering, should always take precautions - wear protective gloves, gauze bandage, glasses. "It is also important to monitor the level of humidity and air temperature.The higher the temperature, the faster the coating will dry.All the tools after use thoroughly with water.The remaining material must be kept in a closed state.
