In what cases do puttying of walls for painting

Puttying the walls with our own hands begins with determining the level of application of the layer. To do this, pull the fishing line along the plane and you will immediately see the required amount of material that will need to be applied.
The first coat is rough and not so difficult to apply. The main thing is to maintain a common plane.
Immediately, as soon as the layers of the starting putty are dry, the finish is applied:

• For finishing putty, gypsum and cement-sand mixture are used. The principle of applying finishing putty has some features. Here, applying the putty in thin layers, for this use a 350 mm spatula.

Attention: It is worth remembering that the layers of the finishing putty must be applied very carefully so that cracks and stains do not appear.

• Next, you need to start plastering. Wall plastering cannot be done without finishing putty. In such cases, you need to plaster with sandpaper. Using paper, you can smooth out all the irregularities of the coating, while avoiding various flaws.
• The last step is the application of a primer. This must be done in order to improve the adhesion characteristics of the surface.
  If a person decided to do the priming procedure with his own hands, he must ensure that there are no bumps or cracks. If the paint is applied to the primer, then it will hold for a long time.
  Immediately after applying the primer, you need to give it about six hours so that it dries and can be painted after.

To understand where the puttying work begins, check out the training video in this article. After reviewing, it becomes clear that it is absolutely unimportant that the wall is made of concrete, or it is plastered, the very first thing is to primer it.

Putty finishing

Often, primers are used for such a thing, which have the properties of deep penetration (seePrimer before puttying walls - is it needed) They are applied in order to increase the adhesion of wall surfaces. In such cases, it is very important.
The very putty of the walls with your own hands is carried out in several layers:

So:

• After a complete finish, you need to dry all the surfaces of the walls well. Usually 12-14 hours are enough for this, but no less. As soon as the walls are dry, the already putty surface must be treated with fine sandpaper. How to do this correctly is shown in the video clip.
• Now you can start priming the wall again, this will be the finishing step of the putty. The last layer does not need to be applied thickly, because it is applied in order to level the wall surfaces. Once it dries, you can start wallpapering (see.Wall decoration in wallpaper in the correct execution) You can learn how to glue by watching the training video.

Attention: If your plane is in a room with increased humidity, then a primer is required. It greatly enhances the adhesion of surfaces.

Putty of walls for painting

The process of puttying the walls themselves for painting is almost the same as for wallpaper. But still there are some differences, because for painting the surface of the walls you need to make it smooth and even.
Equal is very important. Here is the number of layers. This is often not three or two layers. Sometimes, in order to achieve results, you can repeatedly approaching the wall. But in such cases, the layers should not be made thick.

Attention: Each applied layer on the walls without fail, must be treated with a primer, which has the property of deep penetration. In addition, each layer separately needs to be treated with a primer and dried to the desired level.

Therefore, such a process requires a lot of time. And one more thing for successful work, the masters advise when using puttying the walls under painting, to use a spatula, the width of which should be at least 60 centimeters.

Putty corners

The most difficult stage in all puttying is finishing the corners of the room. What is the reason for this?
This is due to the fact that the angles must be processed at 90 degrees, and at the same time make sure that they are even and straight.

So:

• Professional specialists with extensive experience use a special angle trowel for such work. How to use it during work, you can see the photos on which the process instructions are shown.
• Thanks to such a tool, it is quite easy to align the angle with one hand with one hand. Specialists have vast experience, and such angles have been aligned many times. It is rather difficult for a beginner or a person without skills, so there is a simple way that any person can do. Work with it will be easy.
• To start working on this method, you need to fix the plaster profile at an angle. It is required to fix it before applying the first layers. On it and you need to align the angle.
  But you can also use another option. To do this, you need to leave a little more material in the corners, which after drying will need to be treated with sandpaper.

Filling the walls with your own hands is not so difficult, it is important just not to rush here. Allow the surface to dry completely and ground it well. Then the made plane does not require repair for a long time.
