How to align walls shpatlevkoj

Walls leveling putty is quite a popular method of preparing surfaces for subsequent finishing work. Working with putty is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Do not forget that the use of putty as a way of surfacing is suitable only for walls with slight defects, in other cases, the application of wall putty is only the final stage of a complex multistage process.

First you need to prepare all the necessary tools: narrow and wide spatulas, roller and a brush for applying primer and a cuvette with a flat bottom. The consistency of the filler should be such that during the stirring, the cone that is formed by movements of the wand, well kept shape, and the mortar slid off the spatula. The putty hardens fast enough, so in the process, it should be periodically thinned primer or water.

At the beginning of the work on the wall surface apply a small amount of solution with a spatula, then vertical and horizontal movements of the filler level, so that the layer of the mixture was 1-2 mm, while holding the trowel at an angle. The more the angle of the spatula, the correspondingly smaller will be the layer distributed over the surface of the putty.

After the "seizure" of putty, you should rinse it with the use of a primer to remove the existing irregularities and nodules. After this procedure, the layer of putty needs to dry for a day. After this time the wall is necessary to handle fine-grained sandpaper to smooth out all the rough edges and make the wall perfectly smooth.

If necessary, you can apply a second layer of putty, but before it is ready, the surface should be covered with primer and dried. If not primed the walls, the dried up layer will crack. Through the night the second layer also sanded with sandpaper.

Alignment walls with their hands the finishing putty should be made on the same technology, and alignment with basic putty, but the finishing layer needs to be thinner.
