This is only at first glance such a lesson as plastering walls, very laborious and requiring special skills. Of course, you can’t do without skills, and if a person’s hands grow from there, from where his legs, it will be very difficult to teach him to plaster, want and impossible. It is impossible to teach this process of a person who in the first place is chronic laziness and panic fear of any new undertaking.
If you read this small review, then you are not one of those and you are interested in learning to plaster yourself.
And so, you will need the following:
– Plaster. It is varied in its composition and place of application. Most often, your own house uses a regular cement -sand mixture involved in proportion 1 to 3. Water is added, as they say “to taste”. That is, so that the solution turns out to be elastic, homogeneous, in consistency, like thick sour cream. Due to the fact that the sand can be completely different, the exact proportion of water is practically impossible to name, so by eye and to the touch. Sand by the way must be clean, sifted.
– Trowel, he is Kelma. They would throw the solution on the wall. By the way, professionals can do all the work with one gathered shovel.
– Large building level and rule (flat aluminum rail). The level can be successfully used as a rule.
– And of course you need the wall itself.
Before starting work, the wall should be cleaned of dust and dirt. It is recommended to moisten the brick wall a little, since the brick itself quickly absorbs moisture, and the solution will begin to dry faster than necessary.
We need even walls, so as guides we place the so -called “skis” along the wall, by which we will already derive the entire plane.
This is done so. At an equal distance of the entire width of the wall, we place small portions of the solution. The width between them should be slightly less than our rule. The outer side of the data of the “beacons” should be even. The “beacons” themselves should be at the same level. You can check this by pulling the cord. We do the same in the vertical direction. That is, the wall is a kind of is a divided into cells. Keep in mind that the vertical line from the highest “beacon”, to the lower, should be strictly horizontal, without any slopes and bends. You can check this again with a cord with a plumb line.
When the beacons are frozen, and in principle they can be prepared immediately in the entire room, we proceed to the conclusion of the “ski” themselves. Everything is simple here. We throw the vertical space between the beacons with a solution and smoot it out. As a result, smooth guides are formed from top to bottom.
You remember that the distance between the beacons, and therefore, is less than the skiing itself than the length of the rule. As a rule, the rule itself has a length of 120 – 140 cm, the optimal distance between the skis will be 90 – 100 cm.
Когда лыжи уже застыли пространство между ними просто закидываются раствором снизу в верх на высоту за один раз не более полуметра. Applying the rule to skis and rhythmic short movements from side to side and passing smooth movement from the bottom up we smoothing the solution. Thus, a very large space is closed at once at an even layer of plaster. You will only have to wipe the possible pits and cracks that arose as a result of the distribution of the solution.
By the way, the thickness of the plaster will be quite enough from half a centimeter to two. Depending on the evenness of the wall itself. And in order for the solution to cling to the wall better and better hold, it is recommended to use a fight or net, which is attached to the wall.
For those who do not want, or cannot spend time for repair, you can recommend using the services of professionals. So you will save your strength, time and most importantly nerves that are not used by the newcomer when mastering the repair processes. By the way, the cost of European -order -order, at the moment, is very low and accessible to many. Agree, it is much more pleasant to pay professionals and in a short time to get high -quality turnkey repair, a demon of their own physical efforts.
