Guide to the use of interior wall putty powder and precautions

The importance of wall decoration has been valued by more and more people, because a good wall can add points to the overall decoration effect, but before painting the wall, there is a very important task, which is to scrape the putty. After all, if the putty layer is not done well, no matter how good the latex paint is, it will not play the expected effect. So how to use the interior wall putty powder to get twice the result with half the effort? Don't worry, here are the relevant guidelines and precautions for everyone, come and learn!

01 How to use interior wall putty powder

1. The base layer should be solid, clean, roughly flat, without clear water, and the base layer strength should be greater than or close to the strength of putty.

2. The base layer with strong water absorption should be moistened with clean water or sprayed with glue for bottom sealing before scraping putty (the consistency should be suitable for construction).

3. Newly plastered cement walls should be scraped with putty after the maintenance period.

4. Mix evenly according to the ratio of putty powder: water = 1:0.5, let it stand for 10-20 minutes, stir evenly again and it can be used.

5. Use a steel scraper or spatula to scrape as usual. The number of scraping should not be too many. Usually, scrape twice. The second coating can be constructed only when the previous coating is completely dry.

6. The scraping thickness is 1-1.5mm, and the dosage is 1-1.5kg/㎡. Generally, two times are enough.

7. After the putty is dry, polish it with 320# or 240# sandpaper, and apply paint or wallpaper as soon as possible.

8. Dosage: If the base is flat, each kilogram of putty powder can apply about 0.8-1.2 square meters of flat wall.

02 Precautions for use

1. In order to make the overall wall beautiful, putty powder can be applied multiple times, so that the wall will be smoother.

2. When leveling, if the scraped putty is in a semi-dry state, you can use tools to level it. If it has been solidified, you can use sandpaper to level it.

3. Pay attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing when storing.

4. The construction temperature of the interior wall putty is above 5°C. If the putty powder becomes a paste, it is best to use it within 4-5 hours to avoid deterioration over time.

5. Putty powder cannot be used together with other putties, which will cause chemical reactions and color differences.

03 How to choose putty powder

1. We can first grind the putty powder for experiment. The putty after grinding will have some fine marks, which will help the adhesion of the paint, but the putty sand marks are too coarse, which can easily affect the smoothness of the surface. Therefore, after the putty is completely dry, we can identify the quality of the putty powder by grinding the wall.
