Recommendations for putting putty and plaster
The choice of putty, as well as plaster, depends: the first is from the purpose of the room, and the second – from the conditions of its operation. In addition, depending on the type of putty, you may also need a primer primer. Also, priming is mandatory if the plaster remains old. After the primer has completely dried up, which will take about one day, you can start puttying.
It must be remembered that if a painting or decorative coating is used as a finish coating, then you need to stick a painting grid on the wall. This will help to prevent the appearance of web cracks. In addition, be sure to stick a painting grid on all available joints and angles, and a metal corner profile on the outer angles. This will protect them from damage to a mechanical nature. After the end of the above work, you can proceed directly to working with putty, which is necessary in several layers if you prepare the surface for painting, and in one layer if you plan to stick wallpaper. Do not forget to apply a primer between each layer of putty, which will contribute to the best adhesion of layers. The putty dries completely in one to two weeks.
