PVA-based putty

Pva-based putty has been used quite often recently. It has one feature, it is elastic and makes the surface perfectly smooth.
Moreover, the PVA putty is also excellent in holding, it will serve much longer, unlike usual. True, its price is a little more expensive. But it's worth it. The video in this article will show you this material and the rules for its application.

Make a choice

Filling is a really good thing. It can be purchased without problems in retail chains. But its price will be higher than if you do it yourself.
Before buying, the instructions for use should be studied. After all, it is important in what mode the surface will be operated and it must meet the expected standards.
There are two options for its acquisition. Do it yourself or purchase it in finished form.

Features of putty based on PVA

Convenience of working with PVA-based putty (seePuttying: materials and quality control) is determined largely due to the fact that in the process of its preparation it is not necessary to additionally mix the mixture.
The finished solution is quite plastic, so distributing it on the surface is most simple, if only to avoid breaks in advance:

• The base material is guaranteed to “adhere” to the base, assuming a reliable, durable coating. The focus here is on adhesion characteristics.
• After the drying surface is completely dry, there is no cracking of putty, shrinkage, and other common factors in self-repair.
• We get a flat, beautiful surface, without various influxes, air formations, delamination, etc. "Contraindications."

Caution: if you do it yourself, then do not make it liquid. It should be elastic and thick. Otherwise, bursts will form.

• It should be noted here that this putty has a special, exclusively natural composition, with these natural components (chalk, soap, PVA glue, and much more). All this guarantees safety for a person and his body, and for us personally, maintaining health is important in any repair. Plus, the complete or partial absence of pungent odors.
• No mold, no fungus is now scary, because composed of a huge number of antiseptic additives that form a stable and reliable defense for many years.
• When the putty is completely dry, it will be possible to notice that, unlike other materials, it attracts with its whiteness, which does not require additional processing.In other, more economical solutions, it will be necessary to come up with different methods of whitening to give a uniformity to the picture.

It is difficult to forget that this type of putty is a very cost-effective solution among building materials, because its cost is relatively small. And in the process of work you find out that the consumption is small in its values ​​- only 0.5-1.4 kg is required per square meter. However, it all starts from the base.
According to the manufacturer - without exception, it is not recommended to apply it under ceramic tile lining! Yes, and rooms with a high level of humidity, take the same bathhouse or sauna, they need other material, because There is an alternative for each condition.

Installation method and curious features

Here, first of all, it must be emphasized that this type of material is mainly used on the walls of rooms for interior decoration. As already noted, they do not level the walls, because a thick layer with it is problematic to create. Most often, because of this, a ready-made putty based on PVA is sold, which facilitates the work of the uninitiated.

Do-it-yourself PVA-based putty

So:

• Each dish has its own cooking rules, in other words - the recipe! Similarly, in construction - before applying, and we are talking about independent repair, study the application technology, otherwise you can simply spend money on the wind.
• Level the surface as soon as possible (seeAligning the walls with putty in accordance with all the rules) And the thickness of the difference should be as in a pharmacy - clear, as much as possible standard.
• Do not forget the primer treatment, which is usually applied in two tangible words. One will absorb highly, while the second will take care of the level of adhesion. If several layers are required, then we do so, we go close to one soundly set limit - a maximum of four layers!
• We need to get a homogeneous mass without even slight lumps, so carefully mix the consistency. It happens that it is necessary to dilute the mixture, so immediately read the instructions and note the possible substances. Their price is small, and sometimes it can be diluted with water, which is generally free.
• Take a metal spatula and apply the solution with a thin-thin layer, not more than 0.5 mm, to the required area. Here we recall how to level the surface, and draw conclusions for what it was needed. If the layer is too thick, elasticity will be lost, and it can break even from a light external influence.
• As soon as everything hardens, take a polyurethane grater and treat the place of application. With long-term polishing, you can achieve a perfectly mirrored surface.
• If according to the plan for applying wallpaper or dye, then add another layer of soil. The bonds between coatings will increase and be more reliable.

Attention: Very often experienced craftsmen forget about finishing leveling, because they are applied in two layers directly to the plaster. Sometimes it is used for a drywall base with a special roller.

PvA-based putty will completely help you out in difficult times. In the issue of decoration, you should not save on trifles. After all, this material will last much longer and you will not do repairs for a long time.
