Before starting work
In order to begin work on the application of structural paint on internal or external surfaces, a number of tools must be prepared:
- Structural paint.
- Primer.
- Brushes.
- Spatulas.
- Building roller.
- Tray for pre-filling paint.
- Working clothes.
Step-by-step instruction for performing the work
The work on applying the structural paint on the surface of the apartment consists of several step-by-step measures:
- Preparation of the surface for painting.
- Priming of the surface.
- Prepare the paint to get started.
- The process of applying paint to the wall.
- The process of applying paint with a gun.
Performing the work of
Step 1. Preparing the surface for painting. Before applying the structural paint, it is necessary to make manipulations to prepare the surface for work. It is necessary that the wall be cleaned from foreign elements and not flake. Also it is necessary to let the working surface dry. The old strong paint, which can not be removed, must be sanded with sandpaper, rather than giving it the greatest possible smoothness. If the surface of the wall contains traces of the fungus, then they must be removed with a spatula, and then treated with an antifungal agent.
Step 2. Priming the surface. After the preparation of the surface, it is possible to start priming it. Primer is made using a mounting roller. In places where the roller treatment is not possible, it is necessary to use a brush. It is best to use a deep penetration primer.
Step 3. Prepare the paint for the beginning of work. A paint that is too dense can be diluted with water or a solvent. After finishing the material to the required consistency, it is necessary to add the dye to it and mix thoroughly.
Step 4. The process of applying paint to the wall. When painting, apply a certain amount of paint to the spatula, then transfer it to the work surface and smudge. Then it must be leveled with a roller, previously soaked in water. The process of leveling the paint on the wall must be done with longitudinal and then lateral movements. The structure of the pattern will depend on how the process of applying the paint to the wall was made.
Step 5. The process of applying paint with a gun. Work on applying structural paint with a gun is made in several layers. At work it is also necessary to use vertical, and then longitudinal, movements. When working with surfaces located outside the premises, make sure that during operation there is no strong wind, rain or direct sunlight.
Thus, the article described and described the process of applying structural paint to the internal or external surfaces of living quarters.
