Creating the picture on the wall with your own hands

When preparing the panel,preparation of necessary mixtures. It is desirable that in such a room the temperature is about 20-25 degrees. The presence of ventilation, too, will not be superfluous.

Materials and tools

To make a decorative panel you will need:

building plaster( alabaster), its quantity is calculated based on the planned amount of work;

a sufficient number of vessels for solution preparation;
powerful drill with a mixer;
spray gun with compressor;
a set of brushes, spatula, sandpaper;
screwdriver, self-tapping screws;
hammer, a different size chisel, a construction knife.

Since, during operation, the use of a spray gun is required, it is necessary to purchase safety glasses, a respirator, gloves.

Step-by-Step Instruction for the manufacture of panels on the wall

Form manufacturing

1.1.Getting to work, you first need to install plaster curly rods, serving as a frame of the panel. They can be made by using a special form. As an option, it is possible to buy in the building shop already finished profiles of expanded polystyrene, which will need to be glued to the walls with glue or ordinary gypsum plaster. For greater confidence in the reliability of fasteners, all the details of the panel are additionally attached to the wall using self-tapping screws.

1.2.The object from which you need to make a plaster mold, you need to put it in a box with sand. In this case, above the surface of the sand should be left the part with which it is planned to make a mold.

1.3.The surface of the workpiece will need to be cleaned, then covered with a layer of lubricant, which, in the future, removes the gypsum form from it without damage. As a lubricant, you can use petroleum jelly.

1.4.To fill the mold, you need to make a box. It can be made of wood, plywood, thick plastic or plasterboard. Installing the box above the base for the workpiece and securely fixing it, you need to fill the entire interior space with plaster solution. For its preparation, the water should be taken from the calculation, so that the result is a mixture of consistency, like thick sour cream. To ensure the strength of the form, it is necessary to perform its reinforcement with a grid.

1.5.After pouring, you need to knock a little on the edges of the box to remove air bubbles from the solution. The outer surface will need to be leveled with a wide spatula.

1.6.After hardening of gypsum( this process will take about 4-5 hours), the formwork should be disassembled and take out the resulting gypsum form. All irregularities on the removed form should be removed by sanding all the roughness with sandpaper. If desired, you can use a chisel or chisel, apply additional shapes on the plaster mold, and deepen existing grooves.

1.7.Form from the inside will need to be covered with a quick-drying varnish or paint on the nitrobase so that the impression is then well removed.

Manufacture of panel products

2.1.After 15 minutes after painting, you need to lubricate the mold to fill the product itself.

2.2.In the prepared and lubricated form it is necessary to fill the gypsum solution, it is good to "fan" it to eliminate possible voids.

2.3.The back of the future casting will need to be carefully ironed with a spatula.

2.4.The finished product should be removed from the mold after the gypsum has completely hardened, depending on the temperature in the room( the process of solidification of the solution can take from 4 to 8 hours).

Fastening of panel elements to the wall

3.1.All the completed castings are attached to the wall using adhesive for gypsum board, as well as self-tapping screws. Unevenness and the place of abutment to the wall, as well as the groove from the screws, must be sealed with a plaster mixture or acrylic putty.

3.2.With the help of fine sandpaper, it is necessary to equalize all roughness and roughness.

Finishing of

4.1.After installing all elements of the future panel, you need to start work on its final decoration. Alternatively, you can use a decorative finish - craquelure. In this case, the surface will look like an old, patina-covered picture.

4.2.Before finishing, the entire surface of the panel will need to be covered with a deep penetration primer. Then we apply the paint. All layers of paint must be applied using an airbrush with a compressor - this is the only way to ensure a smooth surface without gaps and flaws.

4.3.As the first layer on the primer, it is necessary to apply white water-based paint - the basis. You will need to paint all surfaces, including the decor elements and the frame of the panel.

4.4.For the next layer, it is necessary to close all the projecting elements and edges of the panel with the masking tape and film. The drying time of each layer of paint should be about a day at a temperature of about +25 ° C.

4.5.The next layer should be painted with gold. Since, it is sold in the form of a powder, it will need to be diluted with a primer in a ratio of 1: 1.

4.6.After the drying of the "golden" paint, you need to apply a layer of a varnish lacquer.

4.7.After drying the varnish( not earlier than 10 hours), remove the paint film from the frame and decorative elements.

4.8.As the next layer, it is necessary to apply a water-based paint of white color. The paint should not form a surface on the surface. To this end, you can take on the name of the paint specified in the video process on the site, or choose another option yourself. As a result, a white surface should be obtained, covered with beautiful golden rifts and cracks.
