The cleaned surface must be primed. The primer is most conveniently applied with a roller. If the surface absorbs the wax well, two primer layers are applied. Beacons are installed only after the ground has completely dried. In the upper corner of the wall a nail is hammered, to which the cord( thread) is attached, a plumb is obtained. It is necessary to wait until the plumb line stops swinging. After that, another nail is hammered into the base of the wall so that its cap is on the same line as the plumb line. Do the same operation on the other side of the wall. After this, the beacon cord is stretched from the nail to the nail diagonally. The rule or even rake is attached to the nail heads, leveled out, then all space between the rule and the wall should be filled with the building mixture. We get an even beacon line. The distance between the beacons is determined by the length of the instrument that will be used for plastering the surface.
