Premixes

To breed "liquid wallpaper" from the hardware store-bought mix factory, you need to prepare one or more containers for soaking.Usually this is done using a plastic bowl (cell) of a sufficiently large size, with high walls, as it easier to conduct kneading.

Further, the mass of the package is poured into the prepared container and filled with water.The amount of liquid required to indicate on the packaging material.Typically, one must use the package 5 ÷ 6 liters of water.For soaking better not to use too cold water, as if the process is carried out manually, it is more pleasant to work in warm water.Yes, and the mixture thus obtained more pliable.However, with the temperature and can not go too far, to to "cook" the composition - to be recommended to the decree on package (usually - in the range of 25 to 30 degrees).

Next, need long knead until smooth mass.It should be noted that the recommended pour into a container only one ÷ two packages, since an excessively large amount of mass would be very difficult promeshat thoroughly until completely smooth.

If we consider the manufacturing process step by step and in detail, it will be as follows:

  • Clay PVA and water.
  • plaster, acrylic plaster or glue « Bustilat ».
  • The additives can be used: shredded tree bark, dried seaweed, mica powder, fine sequins, yarn pieces, chips of granite, quartz or other stone.

bases manufacturing process takes place in stages, and in the finished mixture is poured dye.Only after it configure themselves, add selected additives.

- Paper must be crushed, and , the smaller the pieces are, the faster will further process.

Paper ground and poured water

- milled paper is placed in a container , pour plain water and leave for 3 ÷ 4 hours to material well-softened.Per kilogram of paper 5 liters of water is required.

Mixing with the nozzle - mixer

stirring with nozzles - mixer

- After waiting for the right time to a maximum soaking with water the paper is kneaded with an electric beater-mixer up to stizheniya smooth.

- Then, the resultant mixture was added the dye and the adhesive, and then continue the kneading.

- Next, the mixture is spread in a large plastic bag or wrapped in a film and leave for about 12 ÷ 14 hours to ripen.

- After this period mass deploy and thoroughly kneaded by hand.

To prepare another version of "liquid wallpaper", you will need to preparethe following components:

key material

  • cotton or cellulose fibers.As this material can be used conventional cotton or heating material « Ecowool », consisting of wood pulp.
Typical wood pulp fiber

Average wood cellulose fiber

Material will need quite a lot, if the finish is carried out on large areas - it must be provided in advance.If

will use ordinary cotton wool, then it have carefully grind.This operation can be carried out manually, using scissors, or build some semblance of a mixer, for mixing using an electric drill with paddle-mixer.Bowl for mixer can serve bucket, in which the material is placed, but capacity make sure to close the lid with a hole for the shaft of the mixer, or wool will fly away.The cover can be made of cardboard.

  • addition wool and cellulose as a base material can be used fiber - sintepon , flax fibers, polyester or wool.

yarns, too, need to grind - this can be done with scissors or, for example, spicy-cleaver ax chopping cabbage, but you need to have a wooden base onwhich will be held work .

course, work on -like grinding is tiring enough, but the result will be stunning.Colored chopped strands can be used independently or as an additive in weight, made from fibers or paper.

The binder

As a component of the bonding fiber structure "liquid wallpaper" can be used various adhesives - is « Bustilat », wallpaper casein glue or PVA, or even putty based on acrylic.However, it should be remembered that the latter, in the first place, has a specific smell, and secondly - it will need to be further diluted with water.
