Caulking is used to make the walls of the ideal state, it can help to align the fracture and 5 mm. The process is conducted at a temperature from +10 to +30 ° C at a humidity of 50%.

application technology

Application putty

Before proceeding to luting, determine which area you need - or under the wallpaper for painting. For the first option, we need a clean, smooth wall, do not forget to wash the walls before glueing wallpaper. The solution is diluted according to the instructions and only pure instrument.

Apply putty to the surface and check the evenness of using typically 1000 mm, if satisfied with everything - and you can expect a dry stick blade.

Luting paintable or technology for applying liquid wallpaper performed slightly differently. We will need smooth and clean walls and reinforcing mesh, and on top of which will be puttying. The first layer is applied to 2500 mm rule after drying and trimmed. The procedure is repeated.

types of fillings

Kneading the putty composition

The most accurate classification is based on the appointment of the mixture. Also, there are classifications that produce compositions according to the type binder or ready-to-use.

When ready to use

1. Dry formulations.
   Such mixtures contain all necessary elements (binder, filler and additives) mixed in certain proportions.
   Before use, the weight must be diluted with water by following the instructions on the package. Typically, these fillers are used for the most delicate work, and do not shrink.
   The main disadvantages:

• Require strict compliance with the proportions of dilution, be sure to thoroughly stir the mixture.
• Have a limited period of use after dilution - from 8 hours to a day.

1. Ready fillings.
   The compositions have bred in the necessary proportions and ready for use. After mounting on the wall and there is a small drying shrinkage, which limits their field of application.
   So, ready fillings not recommended for use in finishing layers, as well as to repair the foundations of thick layers.

Note! There are ready-made filler that can be used in very thick layers, but their cost makes them impractical to use in the repair ordinary apartment.

   • Compatibility with the substrate and good adhesion.
   • Easy filling defects bases.
