The gun for applying the plaster is brought to the attention of
So, what is the scoop is known to everyone, and most know how to use it when applying plaster to the walls. Well, the fact that the cavity remains in the thickness of the layer, so what's here, nothing lasts forever, the coating will sooner or later fall asleep. But that's the thing, it's better to be as late as possible."And where is the cartouche gun?" - you ask. Yes, probably, not with it, if it's enough for you that the plaster finish lasts two years, before the inevitable( after the scoop) cracking process begins. Maybe someone has a hobby - to cover the cracks in the plaster. No? Well, then we take the pistol for the plaster in hand and carefully examine it.
Short "trunk", a kind of nozzle with nozzles for different degrees of spraying, a funnel of 5 liters at the top - the design is very similar to a meat grinder, but on this similarity ends. After all, the pistol also has a handle with a huge trigger lever, similar to a bicycle brake, behind the carving for attaching a high-pressure hose from the compressor.
Judging by the nozzles, the plaster mixture really can be of different density, which means that for very doughy formulations the air pressure in the gun must be strong enough. Proceeding from this, the output power of the compressor is assumed to be about 3-4 atmospheres, and the productivity is from 150 to 250 l / min( air, of course).To the gun for plaster, a blowing pistil is often used, which is necessary for blowing out clogged nozzles or a funnel. The same system: hose connection, handle, start lever, but there is no funnel, and instead of the nozzle - a narrow tube with a small air outlet.
Gun for plaster - and a slurry, a plaster mix
flies into the wall So what consistency should the plaster have to be applied with a mortar gun? Well, how thick the mass is applied to the wall usually - this is also the case with the unit, with the sole condition that the solution flows freely enough( or crawls) down the walls of the funnel, into the nozzle, where compressed air will be ejected and expelled. For the mixture, we thicken the wider nozzle, for the liquid solution, the narrower one, and follow the jet, the main thing is that the plaster is spread evenly over the wall.
In the process of work, you need to constantly update the mixture in the funnel, after cleaning the old one. On average, a plaster bag weighing 25 kilograms is enough for one and a half square meters of wall covering, taking into account the layer thickness of 10 mm. But the rate of consumption of the mixture is low, and even the fact that the plaster solution constantly settles in the reservoir does not mean that there will be nothing left on the walls - everything will get stiff if not done in a timely cleanup. Of course, plastering with a pistol is a fascinating process, somewhat similar to shooting in a dash and a western in one bottle( that's just the pistols of shooters in the Wild West did not weigh more than 5 kilograms), but you should not forget.
Cartridge gun for plaster in action
Before taking on our unit, we put on a transparent plastic face shield. What for? The fact is that while working with a gun for plaster, separate particles of the solution fly away from the wall at a decent speed and can get into the eyes. Do you need it? Therefore, we comply with security measures, and it will be quite difficult to manage oneself by glasses, since the solution can get to the face and lips, which is also unpleasant. Then, having switched on the compressor and still grabbing the gun for plastering, we install it vertically on the floor, and pour the solution into the funnel, and then with a grunt( or without it, if nature does not offend), raise the bell to the level of the belt.
The compressor works constantly, so to start decorating the walls, simply press the start lever. The mixture went, we keep the cartouche gun for plaster so that the jet was strictly perpendicular to the wall, this will prevent excessive splashing and spreading of the mixture. We carry the gun along the wall, parallel to the floor, trying to get a straight line, then at the end of the wall move the bell slightly higher and move a new line in the opposite direction so that it partially overlays the previous one. The strength of the impact of the plaster is such that, in principle, the first layer can become final, if you can put a mixture of 10 mm thick. But it is usually recommended to apply one layer to 5 mm thick, allow it to dry for hours 6, and then apply a second layer of the same thickness. It will be the finish. Then grout the rule and all, the work is completed.
The density of the plaster applied by the cartouche gun, that the next day the coating will turn into a monolithic armor, into which it is possible to hammer nails.
