Puttying of ceilings for painting: what is needed for

Puttying on the following surfaces:

• Old plaster. If plastered ceilings for a long time, defects on them are inevitable. Temperature and humidity fluctuations, mechanical injuries - and plaster crumbles, there are cracks and potholes. Therefore, before painting, the surface must be unsoldered. In some cases, the plaster is removed completely. But if the ceiling is very uneven, it makes sense to replace the painting with a hanging construction.
• New plaster. And in new buildings, ceilings are imperfect. First, the house shrinks - these processes lead to cracks. In addition, the new plaster is a very coarse coating, the basis of which is ordinary river sand. It feels rough to the touch. The putty is fine-grained, which is necessary in order to make the surface smoother.
• Drywall. Sheets, although glued tightly, there will still be gaps between them, which must fill the putty. In addition, if the ceiling is curved, the curved lines will remain broken, and puttying and painting will make them more flexible and soft.

The next step is the priming of the surface. It strengthens the surface, impregnates concrete and the plaster that remains, with liquid polymers. When they freeze, a thick and durable layer forms on the ceiling, and under temperature fluctuations, as well as "whims" of humidity, it will not break down.

How to properly fill the ceiling for painting: start of the work

First, in all indentations you apply the starting putty, do it better with a spatula of medium width. Putty will necessarily give a small shrinkage. Therefore in deep deepenings the procedure will repeat three times. Before each subsequent putty let the first layer dry out.

To accomplish this task, arm yourself with two spatulas: medium and wide. Many prefer to work as a grater and trowel, but with respect to drywall it can be said that this will not be very convenient.

The joints are as follows:

• First the joints of the sheets are reinforced so that no roughness or roughness remains;
• The screws are then crossed in a crosswise manner - the mixture is applied along and across to better fill the grooves of the self-tapping screws, completely hide their heads;
• Next, the corners are grounded, first one of the sides of the corner shpakyaetsya standard, when the half of the joint dries, shpaklyuetsya second half of the corner.
