Wall preparation
It is identical to the usual version of these products. The main task is to clean, align and re-primer the surface. When all irregularities are removed, when the wall is primed, you can proceed to the main stages of activity. Just remember that unlike other canvases, glass piles are rolled up inside a roll, so you need to deploy them taking this into account.
Blanket preparation
It starts when the walls are already dry. Only then can you begin to cut a roll of fiberglass into separate parts in height, while there should be an allowance( up to 10 cm) so that you can correctly align the pattern. In this case, the room temperature should be at least 18 degrees, and humidity - up to 70%.These factors affect the quality of work, so it is important to prepare the space in a timely manner.

Places of joints are the most difficult, because there you should not put pressure on the trowel so that the glue does not come out. Such manipulations are carried out with each new piece, until the completion of the work.
