Oil filler - let's get acquainted with
In its consistency, this filler is a paste-like mass easily applied by a spatula on the surface with a 2 mm thick layer in 1-2 approaches. An oil putty is made from a mixture of drying oil, acrylates, water, plasticizers and additives. This is a relatively inexpensive building material.
Previously, this type of putty was very popular because of its technical characteristics: durability, ductility, ease of processing with cleaning materials, and also due to rapid drying on the surface. When performing repair work in old buildings under several layers of paint, you can always find this putty.
This putty is widely used in finishing, as well as repair work for leveling walls and ceilings. With the help of oil putty it is very convenient and quick to repair small depressions, holes, cracks and chips on the prepared surface. It can be used for work on concrete, stone and wooden bases.
Before applying this type of putty to improve adhesion, the surface should be plastered and primed. And when working on old coatings( for example, oil paint), it is necessary to make a rigid sanding of the surface.
Secrets of the oil putty
There are several types of oil-glue putty: fire - and explosion-proof, putty of increased whiteness, etc. The main advantages of oil filler are low price and ease of use. Manufacturers of this type of putty also position it as environmentally safe and hygienically clean.
But with all the advantages oil shpaklevka has drawbacks. The main lack of oil-glue putties is poor compatibility with finishing materials, which are not based on the oil component.
When using an oil putty it is necessary to allow it to dry completely and then primer, otherwise oil spots may appear through the finishing material or a distinct uneven luster of the painted surface may appear.
To work with putty of this kind is simple and pleasant. The period of complete drying is about 24 hours, after which the treated surface is ground with a construction float or sandpaper, forming a firm and strong surface. Use this shpatlevku necessary only for internal repair and construction works.
Oil-based putty - principles of operation
Before applying the oil filler, the entire surface to be further shpatlevaniyu must be cleaned from dust, dirt and grease. If the old coating exfoliates, it must be removed. It is desirable to base the substrate with a primer to improve adhesion.
For the finishing shpatlevaniya need a spatula, a drill with a nozzle "mixer", a construction grater or fine sandpaper. Since oil-based putties are sold ready for use, they must be mixed thoroughly before application.
Apply with a spatula, the thickness of the layer should not exceed 2 mm. Manufacturers do not recommend working with this type of putty at temperatures below 10 ° C.If necessary, the second layer of putty is applied not earlier than a day after the application of the previous layer. Grinding is recommended not earlier than 8 hours after the application of the finishing coat.
The consumption of oil-based putty is about 1 kg per 1 m² of surface. Depending on the thickness of the applied layer, the consumption of putty may vary.
