Finishing putty on a polymer binder for walls and ceilings inside dry rooms.

Areas of use

Walls and ceilings inside dry rooms. Suitable substrates: all smooth surfaces made of mineral materials; surfaces leveled with Vetonit L, V, TT, TT Light putty or Perlite putty; gypsum surfaces; walls and ceilings made of plasterboard boards(however, not for sealing seams in plasterboard boards). Ceilings made from other boards, such as particleboard or porous fiberboard, can also be sprayed.

Attention! The mixture is not waterproof. The material is not suitable for leveling floors, for sealing plasterboard joints or for use as a base or adhesive under tiles.

Specifications:

The base must be clean, hard and dust-free. Substances that weaken adhesion such as grease, dust, etc. must be removed. Windows and other untreated surfaces must be carefully protected.

Attention! The base must be dry; leaks and excessive moisture content in the structure are not allowed, as this can cause discoloration of the leveled surface.

Mixing

A bag of dry mixture (25 kg) is mixed with 8–9 liters clean water. Mixing is done with a powerful drill with an attachment for 3-5 minutes. To better dissolve the binder, the mixture is allowed to stand for about 10 minutes. After light re-stirring, the mixture is ready for use. Mortar mixture Suitable for use within approximately 2 days from the moment of mixing with water. Unused mortar mixture should not be left in the mixing container, hoses, etc. for more than 2 days (for example, on weekends).

Attention! Do not pour the mortar mixture down the drain to avoid clogging the pipes.

Completing of the work

The mortar mixture is applied mechanically by spraying or manually using a steel spatula. For complete leveling, use a steel trowel 80 cm wide; for partial leveling, a smaller steel trowel 30 cm wide is used. Excess mortar mixture is removed and used again. After spraying the putty, the ceiling can be left without further processing. If leveling is carried out in several layers, each time you need to make sure that the previous layer is completely dry (within 1 day). The dried surface is sanded with thin sandpaper after each layer.

Cleaning the instrument

Working tools and equipment are washed with water immediately after finishing work.

Final surface treatment and additional recommendations

The leveled and dried surface can be painted or wallpapered according to the instructions of the wallpaper or paint manufacturer.

If dirty spots appear, the surface can be carefully wiped with a damp sponge or piece of cloth. If the stains do not come off, the surface can be re-coated with putty.

Useful tips

To increase adhesion to painted surfaces and to improve the wear resistance of the material, you can replace 10% of the mixing water with Vetonit Dispersion (approx. 0.8–0.9 l of Dispersion/25 kg of dry mixture). Before starting alignment work, make sure that the clutch is old paint good with the base.

Packaging and storage

Vetonit LR Plus putty is supplied in bags of 25 and 5 kg. Shelf life in a dry place in closed containers is approx. 12 months from date of manufacture.

Putty "Vetonit" Vetonit LR+ (25kg) Finishing putty weber.vetonit on a polymer binder for finishing walls and ceilings in dry rooms

Vetonit LR+ putty for leveling walls and ceilings inside dry rooms before: wallpapering; painting.

Characteristics

Description

Preparing the base
The base must be solid, clean, free from dust and dirt. Substances that weaken adhesion such as grease, dust, etc. must be removed. The base must be dry. Excess moisture in the structure can cause yellowing of the leveled surface. Windows and other untreated surfaces must be carefully protected.

Preparation of Vetonit LR+ mixture
Fill the container with approx. 9.0 liters of clean water and add 25 kg (bag) of weber.vetonit LR + mixture, and the mixture must be added to the water, and not vice versa. Recommended water temperature is 20°C. Mixing is done with a powerful drill with an attachment for 3-5 minutes. To better dissolve the binder, the mixture is allowed to stand for 10 minutes. After light re-stirring, the mixture is ready for use. The mortar mixture is suitable for use within 24 hours from the moment of mixing with water. When storing the finished mixture in a closed container, the putty is suitable for use for 2 days. The temperature of the mortar mixture must be at least +10°C.

Application
Vetonit LR+ mortar mixture is applied by mechanized spraying or manually and leveled using a two-handed steel spatula. For partial leveling, use a smaller steel spatula 30cm wide. When leveling in several layers, it is necessary to apply each subsequent layer on the completely dry previous one. The dried surface of the putty must be treated with sanding paper and removed from dust before applying the next layer. After sanding, the leveled and dry surface can be painted or wallpapered according to the instructions of the manufacturer of these materials, or left uncovered when creating rough surface“fur coat” type, using a mechanized spraying method. To increase the wear resistance of the material and improve adhesion, you can replace 10% of the mixing water with a primer.

Drying time of Vetonit LR+ putty
The drying time of one layer of Vetonit LR+ of the recommended thickness at +10 °C is approximately 2 days; at +20 °C approx. 1 day, with good ventilation. Drying time depends on layer thickness, ventilation and temperature.

It is necessary to putty the walls before wallpapering. Which putty is better to choose?

Does putty have an expiration date?

I want to use dry putty.

It was purchased in the summer. But I was already lying down at a temperature of -2 - -4. Is it good?

• The choice of putty depends on the condition of the walls. If the slabs have not been stripped and the walls are relatively smooth, then you can immediately use “finishing” putty. It is of the smallest fraction and lies flat. If you already have putty (it hasn’t spoiled, it’s even better in the cold, as long as the humidity isn’t too high), then it’s better to take the same brand. I like Uniflot the most. He's strong even plasterboard walls- it doesn’t crack, but it’s a bit pricey. You can take “Fügenfüller”, “Vetonit”, or ready-made oil-glue in buckets. If money is really tight, take Hercules, but it’s a bit soft. Although it will go under wallpaper. The main thing is to choose a putty based on GYPSUM - it is white.
• it’s suitable, they made Vetonit kr for us, first they primed it, then they puttyed it, sanded it, primed it, then glued it - in general it’s a nightmare
• For dry putty, you can use Vetanit KR for the first layer of putty and LR for the second. If the putty was lying in a damp room, it is better not to use it, or if used, dilute it with a primer.
• If your putty is not damp, then no problem. The most important thing is to look at the instructions for use (area of ​​application (wet or dry rooms), thickness of the application layer, drying time, etc.), believe me, the result, as a rule, directly depends on how much we adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations! Good luck!!!
• If you are going to use wallpaper, then ABS will do, but be sure to prime the surface before puttying...

What happens to dry putty after the shelf life expires? Why can’t I use an expired one (see ext.)?

I bought it a long time ago, but the repairs were delayed. And it so happened that the shelf life expired several months ago. Is it possible to putty with this mixture or is it better to throw it away? Professionals, what do you recommend?

Putty for windows

Puttying windows is a very frequently discussed and very painful problem for many builders. It is worth saying that even if you have basic knowledge of putty, then with a 90% probability, your knowledge will not be enough to putty windows.

So, let's start with the fact that you need to determine exactly what type of surface the putty will be applied to.

That is, window putty is unique for each of them. existing materials. This uniqueness manifests itself more in the types of materials used than in the application technique. We choose the same window putty.

Many people write that the Trioza putty copes with the task very well. One person responded to a thread about window putty on a well-known forum. He said that after carefully removing debris and other contaminants, he applied a light, even coat of putty.

On this moment The putty is over 3 years old and it’s still like new. So, a lot also depends on the brand of putty.

No one will argue that the most good brands putties, not those that are advertised, but those that are really time-tested. Because advertising will always remain advertising, and nothing more.

It will only show one side of the coin. To make a choice, you should turn to really knowledgeable people, which, so to speak, “ate the dog” in this matter.

Also very interesting option For general putty, and not just window putty, there is a high-temperature putty. As a rule, it is simply ideal for exterior finishing premises. It, as the name suggests, can withstand very high temperatures.

It can work in very tough conditions weather conditions, from -35, minimum -40 degrees, to +200, maximum +280 degrees Celsius. Very good temperature range.

Also, gypsum plaster putty comes under big questions. As a rule, this applies to walls and ceilings. Many experts in this matter advise to putty the gypsum board with Vetonit LR+ putty.

In addition, very good option is also “Petrominsk”. But this, of course, is a matter of taste.

But, nevertheless, putty, no matter what it is, and no matter what it is intended for, should be applied, at a minimum, by a knowledgeable person.

Most problems associated with putty are a consequence of the “curvature of the hands” of the layer himself. But also, you shouldn’t lose sight of the putty itself. Yes, very important nuance is the shelf life of the putty, since after its expiration date, it is more likely to either lie poorly or not completely dissolve.

And both will have a very detrimental effect on the final result. So, the shelf life of putty is one of the most important, although not the main, parameters that need to be checked when purchasing putty. In addition, it is worth buying putty that will be suitable specifically for your type of work.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be just one brand. Nowadays, you can find up to twenty types of different putties to perform the same job.

Gypsum putty is an excellent assistant for finishing concrete, brick, plaster and plastered walls in dry rooms. Experienced people use it for rough finishing. This type putty material is popular both among craftsmen and those who do repairs themselves.

Why are walls puttied?

Any wall, be it gypsum blocks or concrete structure, uneven. Even we're talking about about the new multi-storey building– there are still small bevels and differences. This type of putty is used to smooth out these imperfections.

And in cases where the base also has cracks or chips, puttying is definitely indispensable. The gypsum composition is also used for sealing joints and leveling the ceiling. The substance adheres well to the base.

wall putty is the key to long lasting repairs

Whatever company produces gypsum putty, the composition is practically the same. The basis is finely ground gypsum with the addition of components that help penetrate the treated surface. The composition of such mixtures is environmentally friendly, which allows the use of gypsum putty in almost any room.

Professionals point out that this type mixtures for treating walls and ceilings have a wide range of advantages. Let's highlight a list of the main advantages:

• Plasticity of the material - the composition is not subject to cracking after certain periods of time;
• Ease of operation;
• The ability to regulate moisture absorption by walls;
• Durability;
• Absence of components harmful to health;
• High level of adhesion;
• Wide scope of application. Possible finishing of walls, ceilings and other surfaces

One of the disadvantages of gypsum putty is that it is susceptible to high humidity. Therefore, it is better not to use the composition in rooms with constant high humidity. And in places with periodically rising humidity (kitchen), install a good exhaust system.

Using putty, even walls with differences of 1-2 centimeters are leveled

How does starting putty differ from finishing putty?

Which putty is suitable for sealing seams and cracks? You can answer this question if you study in detail the three main types of finishing materials. The putty is divided into:

starting;

finishing;

universal.

Starter putty is suitable for finishing walls and ceilings. With its help, cracks and gaps are sealed, differences of a centimeter or two are leveled out.

This mixture is applied evenly over the surface in a layer of up to ten to fifteen millimeters. If the surface has significant differences, then the use of putty is impractical for the reason that it is too thick layer It will easily fall off the ceiling or wall. Therefore, to handle large differences, it is recommended to use plaster or cladding with gypsum board sheets.

After leveling with the finishing compound, the walls are ready for painting

Finishing putty is used to level the surface in a single layer and make it even and white.

The final type of wall putty is used for further painting. The composition of the finishing mixtures is visually different from the starting mixture in that the material is less grainy and whiter. If after applying the starting material the walls have a gray tint, then when covering the ceiling or walls with finishing putty, they acquire a milky white tint.

The universal putty is called “start-finish”. It is used when leveling walls and ceilings under wallpaper. Universal composition allows you to save on purchasing two types of materials without compromising the quality of the final coating.

Note that gypsum material easy to use. If you follow the mixing and application technologies, even a person without experience can cope with the rough finishing of walls.

The company Starateli produces mixtures in bags of various sizes

Which companies should you pay attention to when choosing a mixture?

When it comes to purchasing building materials to start work, here key factor becomes the choice of the manufacturer. Modern market filled with both established brands and newcomers.

And when choosing cheap goods from such companies, it is important that the quality is no worse than that of popular brands like Knauf, Ceresit, Sniezka, Perfekta, Bergauf. Among the Russian representatives, we would like to highlight the already well-known companies Starateli and Axton. They will be discussed further.

When choosing a product, pay attention to reviews about the manufacturer

If we talk about Axton putty, it is used as universal material for rough finishing of walls.

The composition includes fine-grained gypsum with the addition of components for high adhesion and plasticity. The viability of this solution after mixing is one hour, so you should not try to mix the entire bag at once - such a volume of material is unlikely to be applied to the wall in just an hour. Drying time at room temperature is 20-22 hours.

Finishing putty Prospectors in a bag 12 kilograms

The company Prospecter produces putty of various compositions.

The most popular are polymer putty and gypsum. They are rightly called the leaders of the domestic construction market. Prospector gypsum putty consists of fine-grained gypsum with adhesive and polymer additives.

Starateli putty is available in bags of different volumes, which allows you to accurately select the required amount of the mixture.

The consumption of material with a thickness of 1 mm for each square of surface does not exceed one kilogram. Prospector putty should be used within an hour when mixed. The time for setting and hardening of the composition on the surface is 5-7 hours after application.

Remember that there are also counterfeit goods on the market. Often, fakes contain poor quality gypsum, which cracks after being applied to the surface. Such materials may also contain harmful substances not listed on the packaging.

Therefore, try to carefully inspect the product and demand quality certificates. Please note that gypsum mixtures have a short shelf life of 6 months. After the expiration date, the mixture loses some beneficial features, which will definitely affect the final result.

Gypsum putty is used for finishing different surfaces. You can do the puttying yourself without inviting specialists.

High-quality putty has a fine-grained structure, thanks to this it is possible to fill up unevenness from 1 to 1.5 mm. If the curvature is greater, you must first plaster the surface.

Characteristics of putty

The Knauf company produces the highest quality gypsum putty, which contains polymer additives and fillers, can dry in short time, forming a durable and smooth film on the surface. Advantages of gypsum putty:

• the use of such a mixture prevents the formation of cracks on the treated surface;
• thanks to vapor permeability, it helps create a good microclimate;
• easy to use;
• quite hard, durable and has long term services;
• goes well with other materials;
• low consumption, which is economically beneficial;
• acceptable cost.

Like anyone else construction material, Knauf putty has its disadvantages:

• sets quickly (can be considered a plus);
• difficult to grind;
• not suitable for finishing wet areas; in this case, acrylic putty is more suitable.

The maximum layer of application of Knauf putty is no more than 3 mm.

Otherwise, the surface will be uneven with sagging and grooves. Gypsum putty is intended for applying a thin layer to the surface to be finished. She creates good foundation for gluing wallpaper, because the thickness of the largest fraction can be only 0.15 mm.

The Knauf company took good care to ensure that it gypsum putty dried quickly. Can't cook a large number of mixture immediately, otherwise after 30 minutes the whole mass will begin to harden and become unsuitable for finishing.

Fast setting occurs due to the gypsum. It should be remembered that the container in which the solution is mixed and the tools for work must be clean. Dirt on the walls and tools speeds up the hardening time of the mixture by almost 2 times.

The shelf life of Knauf dry mixture is 6 months, so you should not buy it for future use.

Preparation of working solution

Before you start working with putty, you need to check the expiration date. Expired material should not be used. Ready mix, depending on how it is mixed, can have different properties.

The first rule when mixing: pour the powder into the water slowly, spreading it over the surface of the water.

It is best to do this with your hands rather than with a trowel. The mixture must be added until the putty level is slightly higher than the water level. Then give the mixture 2 - 3 minutes to swell.

Stirring is done manually, without using a mixer. The mixture may seem runny, but do not add dry powder. After a minute or two, everything will work itself out and find the desired consistency.

Under no circumstances should residue from a spatula be added to a bucket of working mixture. This leads to a reduction in the working time of the solution and the formation of lumps.

Preparing for work

For puttying you will need the following tools:

• rule;
• metal spatula;
• container for mixing the mixture;
• water spray;
• spatula or trowel.

Before the purchase material Knauf you should decide on the type of putty.

Depending on the stage of the work being performed, it can be universal, starting or finishing. This is usually indicated on the packaging. It is necessary to study the technical characteristics of the material.

To prepare the surface for work, it is necessary to remove old wallpaper, paint, and clean the walls from dirt, grease and rust stains. If there is mold, remove it by special means, which contain antiseptics.

The walls must be treated with a primer, which is selected depending on the type of base. It is recommended to apply the primer in 1 - 2 layers.

Then you should dilute the putty and get to work. It is important not to forget to periodically stir the composition while working. Sometimes you can add a little water so that the mixture retains its plasticity and does not harden for some time.

Do not allow the composition to come into contact with eyes or skin. If this happens, you need to rinse the affected area generously. warm water. It is recommended to carry out the work in special clothing, it is also necessary to use skin protection products.

Surface application

Puttying is done using spatulas different sizes. A small portion of the Knauf mixture is applied to a larger spatula, then rubbed over the surface in an even layer.

The applied layer should dry within 1 - 2 days. Next, to level the surface, grinding is performed using a fine-grained sandpaper. The final stage is the application of decorative facing material(plastering, painting, whitewashing, wallpaper, etc.).

In order to efficiently prepare the surface for any type of finishing works, you need to level it.

This can be achieved with proper puttying and priming. In this case, it is important to skillfully use the tools and follow the recommendations for implementation.

When finishing putty is needed, many people prefer Weber products, choosing a mixture labeled Vetonit LR. This finishing material created for interior works, namely: for finishing walls and ceilings. However, putty alone is not enough for high-quality coating. The process of its application has a number of nuances that everyone who plans to use this plaster should know.

Peculiarities

Vetonit LR putty is a product for final leveling enclosing structures. She represents plaster mixture on polymer adhesive based, which is intended for finishing dry rooms. This is the material powder type with fine fraction, produced in 25 kg bags. The mixture is a semi-finished product, as it needs to be diluted with water before the actual application process. It has a basic white color, which allows you to change the shade plaster coating at the request of the customer.

It cannot be used to decorate the facade, since the composition is not designed to withstand moisture and other weather factors. It is the composition that does not allow this mixture to be used on bases that may become deformed. You can't get rid of her wooden houses, which shrink during operation. Such putty is not applicable in apartment buildings with a high humidity coefficient. Under such conditions, it will absorb moisture from the outside and peel off from the base, which will be accompanied by cracks and chips.

Due to poor resistance to water and evaporation, such material cannot be used in every room. For example, it is not applicable in the bathroom, kitchen, toilet, glassed balcony or loggias. Condensation is worst enemy such plaster. Today the manufacturer is trying to solve this problem, producing varieties of LR putty. Unlike them, it consists of polymers and is intended for plastered and concrete bases.

Distinctive feature The material is a different number of application layers. For example, LR is applied in one layer, so complex multi-layer decorative coatings are not made from it, as this may affect the durability of operation, despite the quality characteristics of the raw materials. It is not suitable for large differences: the composition is not designed for this.

• cement-lime;
• gypsum;
• cement;
• plasterboard.

The material fits well not only on rough, mineral, but also smooth surface. At the same time, application, in addition to manual, can also be mechanized. This will save some of the composition, apply it quickly, which will eliminate the visibility of joints: such a surface will look monolithic. The spraying method involves applying the composition to porous slabs.

However, Vetonit LR is not suitable for flooring, which is sometimes done by would-be finishers. It should not be used as an adhesive for ceiling plinth: This mixture is not designed for weight bearing, it is not universal for all the needs of the master. You must buy it strictly in accordance with the information provided by the manufacturer on the label. This putty is not a base for tiles, as it will not hold it. In addition, it is not a sealant: it is not purchased for sealing gaps between plasterboard boards.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like the other one plastering material For finishing floors, Vetonit LR putty has its pros and cons.

• It is created on modern equipment using new technologies, which improves the quality and performance characteristics of the material.
• It is easy to use. Applying the material to the floors is easy; the mixture does not stick to the trowel and does not fall off the base during operation.
• With a small thickness of the applied layer, it trims the base, smoothing out minor unevenness of the starting leveler.
• The material is environmentally friendly. The composition is harmless to health; the coating will not emit toxic substances during operation.

• The mixture is fine-grained. Due to this, it is uniform, has a pleasant texture and smoothness of the finished coating.
• In some cases, if you have enough experience, you don’t need to grind it further.
• It is economical. At the same time, due to its powder form, it practically does not create waste. Portions can be diluted in parts, which will eliminate excess mixture.
• The composition has a long shelf life life cycle. After preparation, it is suitable for work within 24 hours, which allows the master to complete the finishing without haste.

• The material has noise and thermal insulation properties, despite the thin layer of application.
• It is suitable for further finishing of surfaces for painting or wallpapering.
• The mixture is available to the buyer. It can be bought at any hardware store, while the cost of finishing putty will not hit the buyer’s budget due to its cost-effectiveness.

In addition to the advantages, of this material there are also disadvantages. For example, Vetonit LR putty cannot be re-diluted. As a result, it loses its properties, which can negatively affect the quality of work. In addition, it is important to consider the storage conditions of the dry mixture. If she is in a room with high humidity, it will become damp, which will make the composition unsuitable for work.

Vetonit LR is picky about the base. Putty simply will not stick to a surface that is not properly prepared. In the vastness World Wide Web You can find reviews talking about poor grip. However, few online commentators describe preliminary preparation, considering it a useless stage, a waste of time and money. They also ignore the fact that there should be no drafts in the room during work.

In addition, they exceed the application layer, believing that the mixture will withstand everything. As a result, such a coating is short-lived. A prerequisite that the manufacturer pays attention to is compliance with the characteristics of the material construction work. This mixture is not a base leveler; it does not mask serious defects, which beginners in the field of repair and finishing do not think about.

If the preparation rules are not followed, further work Difficulties may arise with such a basis. For example, according to the opinions of craftsmen, when trying to re-glue wallpaper, the canvas can be partially removed with putty. It is necessary to strengthen adhesion, even if the base looks good, and the ceiling is made according to all the rules of construction and does not have a porous structure with crumbling. Sometimes an ordinary buyer with a limited budget may not like the price of a large bag (approximately 600-650 rudders), which forces them to look for cheaper analogues on the market.

Specifications

Physical and mechanical characteristics Vetonit LR putties are as follows:

• moisture resistance – non-moisture resistant;

Depending on the variety, the composition may vary slightly, which affects the quality and operational characteristics. According to the manufacturer, the improved modifications are suitable for all types of substrates and are particularly durable.

Kinds

Today, the line of Vetonit LR putty materials includes varieties Plus, KR, Pasta, Silk, Fine. Each modification has its own characteristics and differs from the base material. Materials are divided into two categories: for finishing putty on walls for wallpaper and painting, as well as mixtures for perfect alignment(super-finish coatings for painting). However, in conditions of constant humidity, these coatings may turn yellow over time.

Weber Vetonit LR Plus, Weber Vetonit LR KR and Weber Vetonit LR Fine are polymer putties for interior use. They are super plastic and require application thin layer, are distinguished by simple mixing of layers, which is convenient, since working with such plaster will save time and is suitable even for a beginner in the field of repair and finishing. The materials are easy to sand and are characterized by cleanliness white and are a good base for painting. The disadvantage of Weber Vetonit LR Plus is the fact that it cannot be applied to previously painted surfaces.

The Fine analogue should absolutely not be used for wet areas. Silk is distinguished by the presence of finely ground marble. Weber Vetonit LR Pasta is a finishing polymer putty, ready for use. It does not need adjustment or dilution with water: it is a mixture in the form of a sour cream-like mass, which is used immediately after opening plastic containers. It allows you to obtain a perfectly smooth surface and, according to the manufacturer, has improved hardness after drying. In other words, it is a crack-resistant putty that is scratch-resistant. The thickness of its layer can be ultra-thin (0.2 mm).

How to calculate consumption?

The consumption of material applied to the wall is calculated in kilograms per 1 m2. The manufacturer sets its own consumption rate, which is 1.2 kg/m2. However, in reality, the norm often diverges from the actual consumption. Therefore, you have to buy raw materials with a reserve, taking into account the formula: norm x cladding area. For example, if the wall area is 2.5x4=10 sq. m, putty will need at least 1.2x10=12 kg.

Since the standard indicators are approximate, and defects cannot be ruled out during the work, it is worth taking more material. If the putty remains, it's okay: it can be stored in dry conditions for up to 12 months. In addition, we must not forget that the application layer is actually greater than that recommended by the manufacturer. This will also affect the overall consumption. Therefore, when purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the recommended thickness.

Preparation of the solution

Instructions for preparing the putty are indicated on the packaging itself.

The manufacturer suggests diluting the material as follows:

• prepare a clean and dry container and a drill with a mixing attachment;
• about 8-9 liters of clean water at room temperature are poured into the container;
• the bag is opened and poured into a container;
• the composition is stirred with a drill with a nozzle until smooth for 2-3 minutes at low speed;
• The mixture is left for 10 minutes, then stirred again.

After preparation, the composition will gradually begin to change its properties. Therefore, despite the manufacturers’ assurances that it is good for one to two days in sealed packaging, it is worth using it immediately. Over time, its consistency will change, the mass will become thick, which can complicate surface covering. The putty dries differently, which also depends on the conditions in the room at the time of work.

Application methods

The plaster can be applied by hand or mechanically. In the first case, it is picked up on a trowel in portions and stretched over the surface, using a rule, as well as a trowel. This option is especially relevant if the customer uses plaster as decorative covering. In this way you can mix different shades mixture, making the base look like marble. However, their overall thickness should be minimal.

The second method is convenient because it allows you to complete the work in a short time. To do this, you can use a sprayer with a large nozzle; some craftsmen manage to apply such putty with a construction hopper bucket self-made. The ladle is emptied in seconds, and the composition can cover the entire room in a short time. The mass is stretched over the surface according to the rule. This method is convenient when a large amount of work is planned.

Analogs

Sometimes the average buyer is interested in what can be replaced finishing putty company, so as not to lose in the quality characteristics of the material. Specialists in the field of construction and finishing offer several options for plaster material.

Among them, products from the following brands were especially highly rated:

• Sheetrock;
• Dano;
• Padecot;
• Unis;
• Knauf.

These materials have characteristics similar in quality and application. However, experts note that in an attempt to save money, you can lose quality, because the difference between the analogue and Vetonit will be small. If you choose an analogue gypsum base, such plaster will not be moisture resistant. Some experts are confident that if you have the skills, you can work with any finishing plaster. Reviews from builders are contradictory, because each master has his own priorities.

To avoid problems when working with putty, you can take into account the basic nuances of preparation and application tricks.

Typically, preparation according to all the rules looks like this:

• the room is cleared of furniture;
• carry out visual inspection coatings;
• I remove old coating, grease and oil stains;
• remove dust from the surface with a semi-dry sponge;
• After drying, the base is treated with a primer.

These are the basic steps for the basic material. At this stage, it is important to choose the right primer, since the alignment of the overlap structure and the level of adhesion of all layers will depend on it. The primer is needed so that the starting, and then finishing material did not fall off the walls or ceiling. The base is treated with primer with greater penetrating ability. This will make the structure of the walls uniform.

The primer will bind dust particles and microcracks. It is applied with a roller on the main part of the floors and with a flat brush in the corners and hard to reach places. The application must be uniform, since when the soil dries, a crystal lattice will form on the surface, enhancing adhesion. After the primer has dried, the surface is leveled with starting material. If necessary, trim it after drying and then re-prime it. Now for fastening the starting and finishing layers.

For example, to prevent the putty from sticking to the trowel, you should not use a wooden spatula. It will absorb moisture, and along with it, retain the mixture itself on the working surface. If the room area is small, you can try a metal spatula 30 cm wide or a two-handed tool. The mixture should not be applied to wet floors. You need to dry the wall (ceiling).

Antiseptic treatment is also important. For example, to prevent the formation of mold and mildew on the surface of the wall or ceiling being finished, you can initially treat the floors special composition. In addition, during the work it is important to observe temperature conditions in room. If the plaster mixture is applied in several layers, it is important that their thickness is minimal.
