Ceiling plinth( it is also called a fillet) perfectly conceals all irregularities at the joint of the ceiling and the wall. No room is an ideal polyhedron - it is unattainable in the construction of buildings. Consequently, the wallpaper on the top will lie unevenly. Such a defect should be disguised, and best of all - with fillets. Today I will share experience, and I'll tell you how to properly glue the plinth to the ceiling.
There are many different options on sale, but you only need to pay attention to the fact that all the plinth( all strips) were from the same lot. The glue for its gluing in the stores of building materials is also always available. So there seems to be no difficulty. Read the instruction on the rules of glue application and start working.
However, the main difficulty in gluing the plinth - in the correct fit of its pieces to each other. When we glue along the wall, then there will be no special difficulties. But here is how to be on the corners, how to join pieces of plinth in these places? That's why you'll have to take in the store at least one strip more for training, and stock up with a construction or clerical knife for cutting paper. They are very comfortable and even cut the fillet. You can still cut with a hacksaw for metal, but a knife is much more convenient. To cut it is necessary exactly exactly, that then joints were imperceptible.
Nuances when gluing skirting boards
It is better to glue the skirting board in this order: first paste strip pieces in the corners, and then glue along the perimeter. If the corners of the strip are glued smoothly, then on the straight sections of the wall there will be no difficulty. In shops already sold corners of ceiling skirting boards are sold, but if they could not be bought, it is necessary to cut yourself. All depends on the correctness of the selected cutting angle. It is necessary to practice on separate pieces in the choice of angle( for this, and buy an extra strip).It is necessary not to be confused only where there will be a right strip, and where the left one. Mark the pencil. If it is not possible to properly cut the bevels on the eye, then you need to use an adaptation called a chair, which you can either buy or make yourself.
The pieces of the skirting board are glued to the ceiling and the wall in turn. It is necessary to pay attention to the correct choice of the place of gluing the first piece in the corner, because adjacent to it is glued to it. How to glue, and the angle will look. The glue is smeared with a thin strip on the side of the plinth, which will be adjacent to the wall and ceiling. If the ceiling is tension, then glue - only on the reverse bottom of the strip, which will be pressed against the wall. After applying glue to the fillet, you should wait a little, and then tightly press the strip to the place of gluing. The glue will quickly grasp.
Masking joints and clearances
If at the junction of the bands there is still a gap, then it is well masked by a white sealant. Excess glue should be immediately cleaned with a dry cloth. And more: before you start the work on gluing the skirting, you need to pay attention to the purity of the hands. On the skirting board, after it is pressed by hands during gluing, there may be dirty stains.
If you have not painted or whitewashed the ceiling, the best finishing option is the following. With a light putty go through all the glued plinths, spreading them with paint, and after drying, remove the excess with a fine sandpaper or special grinding sponge for plaster work. After this final finishing, the skirting boards and the ceiling will become a single whole, and you will not find a single gap - the work will look perfect.
