Technology of applying plaster on the walls with your own hands.
The plastering of the walls is made for their alignment before further painting, wallpapering or tiling. For the plastering of walls use special dry mixes or a mixture of cement and sand. The consistency of the rendered plaster should be sufficiently thick so that the mixture does not slip down the wall under the influence of its own weight. Below be sure to watch the video of the plaster walls on the lighthouses from the pros.
Walls before work should be cleaned of the remnants of old plaster, glue, etc. It is also necessary to primer the walls with special primer mixes or 10 times diluted PVA glue. See what primer to choose better. A very important detail is the correct setting of beacons. They use racks, plastic or wooden. To attach them to the wall, it is necessary to apply a spatula a little solution along one line, retreating from the angle of approximately 20 cm - 30 cm. Press the rail into the solution. The beaks( their outer edge) should be 25-35 mm from the wall. Level verifies the vertical position of the rack.
Repeat the procedure from the second angle. Then, from outside each lighthouse in the lower and upper parts of the wall we drive along the dowel. His hat should be flush with the beacons. We stretch horizontally between the dowels a piece of cord, from above and from below. We place additional beacons on the cord. The distance between the two beacons should not exceed the length of the rule. Now it takes a few hours for the solution to finally set. Stucco walls on lighthouses is the simplest and the most common technique.
Immediately before the work, the wall should be wetted so that the plaster is better laid on it, and wait a little, let the water soak. When working in conditions of high humidity in the plaster, you can add a little alabaster. Plastering of walls is carried out only at plus temperature. If desired, for greater reliability on the wall, you can fix a fine mesh, metal or synthetic materials. If the work is done on a silicate brick, the presence of a grid becomes mandatory.
You can proceed directly to the plaster. We throw a mortar on the wall with a spatula or even hands. Next, the rule should align the mixture on the wall from the bottom up. Work should be without much pressure. The corners are leveled with a spatula. Do not forget to remove the beacons. We rub the formed joints with a solution. Now it remains only to wait for the plaster to dry completely. The surface can be rubbed with special graters of carbolite. The calculator of the flow rate of the plastering rodband.

The video from Knauf clearly demonstrates the whole process of how to mix gypsum plaster "Rothband", prepare the wall surface, how to install beacons on the wall correctly, how to apply plaster on the wall by technology. We also recommend to look at one more article of ours, plastering the walls with our own hands, there are a few more video examples and a more detailed article on the installation of lighthouses, etc.
