Plastering of slopes with your own hands: tools and materials
As in any other work, finishing of slopes with plaster is carried out with the help of certain materials. To prepare a mixture of plaster mortar, you do not need to save the cement so that the coating does not fall off later. Approximate proportions of 1: 3( 1 cement and 3 parts of sand).It is better to apply sand washed, river, with the minimum maintenance of clay.
When decorating indoors, it is better to use a mixture with some amount of alabaster. Its content will facilitate the work with plastering the upper slopes. In particular, this is important when the jumpers come across curves. Therefore, it is important to have a large thickness of the coating, which may not hold in such places. Often at such times, a special masonry net is used. Of the tools required:
- Not too long level( about 1 meter).
- Separate container for solution and water.
- Spatula, about 5 centimeters in size.
- Roulette.
- Pencil.
- Aluminum rule.
- Malka - plywood or metal.
- Trowel.
- Hammer-kirochka.
If the plastering of external slopes will be carried out by a mouth-keeper, then a small and large ironing pad is useful. If you use a solution based on cement, then a half-and a grater.
Preparatory work for
It is important that proper preparation is carried out before plastering windows and doors. The window sill should be mounted before the beginning of the painting. Later, this will not close the gap between the side slopes. But, it is necessary to protect it and windows with a layer of polyethylene from getting a solution. Paint, old plaster and other contaminants are removed from the substrate. Surplus foam is also cut with a knife.
For better adhesion, the surface is primed. And the primer is chosen under the base( concrete, brick, drywall).Then conduct a vapor barrier. On the foam( from the inside of the wall), apply a silicone sealant or glue it with a special vapor barrier film. This vapor barrier is simply necessary, since the sealant on the inside due to the condensation can lose its properties and even break down. The consequence of all this is the misting of windows and drafts from the frames.
Plaster of slopes of door and window, master technology
In order to understand how plastering of window slopes is done, we will consider it on a small example of plaster of external slope. On the frame of the window( or door box) mark the thickness of the slope with a felt-tip pen. Next, the beacons are installed, and the mixture is spread out with a thickness equal to the width of the slopes. Horizontally, the upper part is hung with a rule or rail, which is attached with a mixture or nails. Next, the slats are mounted on the side. In this case, a plumb line is used.
A mixture of plaster is applied and leveled by a half-hook. After 10-15 minutes, the rail is gently pushed aside. Nails are pre-cleaned. The last step displays the angle. Apply for this grater and a half-rub or two half-withers. One half-lug is pressed against one plane of the corner, and the second is applied to the solution and all the unevenness on the second plane is covered. If some irregularities are obtained, they are easily neutralized and smoothed by a brush previously wetted in water.
This process is best shown in a special video. Plastering slopes, video lessons on the application of which are presented on many portals, will help you quickly and efficiently carry out the work. Moreover, most often in these information materials there is also repair of the plaster of the slopes.
Recommendations! All work is done at an air temperature of +5 + 10 ° C .Many ask the question - how much plaster dries and what does it depend on? It depends on the temperature and humidity. If the temperature is higher than this, the drying process will be much faster( usually several hours).
