• universal putty - is suitable for beginners, and for the final stage of work.

Tools for plastered walls for painting:

• monofilament mesh, mesh size 0.2 cm,
• sandpaper or sanding timber,
• abrasive mesh 60, 80, 120,
• bubble level,
• capacity for breeding putty,

• plasterboard wall finish,
• complete plastering walls.

When you drop more than 5 mm, make the installation of beacons and align the wall with cement mortar or a contour line.To hide the rough surface defects sometimes a layer of about 3-5 cm. Before starting this filler is mixed with a well-sifted sand.The ratio is 1: 1.

When work on alignment of the walls is made, using a roller or brush, apply a coat of primer on the walls.This will help get rid of fungus and microorganisms, and firmly secure the plaster to the wall.Drying time 4-5 hours primer.

To prevent the appearance of cracks in the wall using nylon net, with a mesh size of 0.2-0.5 cm. Apply a layer of putty on the wall and attach the mesh, then apply a second coat on the grid and spread over the surface of the putty.The layer thickness of 1-2 mm.

Experienced painters replaced with fiberglass mesh or steklooboyami sold bundled with a special glue.After finishing painting steklooboyami possible, but in this case it will require 2-3 times more paint than after finishing the finishing putty.

Using sandpaper coarse fraction grind the surface.The fine grit on the surface after the application of putty home - this is the norm, because this coat is coarser than the finish.

3. Poquelin special fiberglass mesh on joints drywall sheets so that the seam appeared in the middle of the tape.

4. Shpaklyuem joints.To do this, prepare two spatula 12-15 and 30-35 cm.

5. Next podshpaklyuyte screws.This must be done crosswise to hide all the grooves and the head screws.

6. Align the corners.Proshpaklyuyte one side of the corner, and after drying - another.

• apply putty different directions: horizontally, vertically and diagonally,
• never attempt to dilute the thickened water putty.Thus, spoils the quality shpaklyuemoy surface,
• for large surfaces, use a large spatula, and for corners or tight spaces suitable spatula smaller,
