Prepare the wall for a textured plaster: strip them from the old cover, Proskura a large skin, with deep penetration primer and allow to dry. If the walls need repair, fill them with mortar or putty. Then again Proskura and primed.

If you use embossed roller finish textured plaster, you will easily cope with this work. But if you apply other options: sponge, various applicators, special spatula, you will need skill and artistic taste.

Take a spatula or trowel, inset plaster from the container and put on the wall, but not very thick layer of 1,5 cm Cover the textured plaster walls of the strip from ceiling to floor is equal to no more than 1 meter. The edge of the pinch solution "no" to the next layer superimposed later.

Take the embossed roller and offer it up to the base of the wall. Then confident movement roll the roller up towards the ceiling. You get a strip with a relief pattern. Put the roller back to the base of the wall and again pull it up. Do so until the end of the section of the wall covered with solution. Then re-apply the textured plaster on the wall and rolled it with a roller, creating a relief surface. Do so until the end of the wall.

To the wall surface without relief pattern, use a polyurethane float.

Once you are ready to finish, remove the tape, soak it with water from a spray bottle and safely apply a new layer of mortar. If you do so, the difference between the strips will not be noticeable.

In the process, often try to wash the instruments, especially the relief rolls. They are clogged with mortar, and the picture looks fuzzy.
