Alignment of walls for wallpaper. We will need a rule, preferably 2, 5m, a spatula, which are convenient for you to apply a mixture on the wall, a bucket for putty, a drill with a mixer for kneading putty and preferably a bucket or a cut canister for washing a mixer after each collapse. So.. Pillow the walls. Suppose we have a black apartment. That is, the walls plastered cement-sand. You can equalize both completely walls in the plane, and only the adjacency of the wall/floor, wall/ceiling, angles. Why is this being done.. Well, firstly, so that when you stick a baguette or a ceiling baseboard, who calls it, he will “show” all the curvature. Although if you glue it in a special way, you can hide a little curvature. Not big, let’s say 3mm on 2m. But I’ll tell you and show it in another article. Also, the curvature of the walls will show floor skirting boards. And corners.. If you want to join the wallpaper different in color in the corners, then the corners of course need to align that there would be like a string. Of course, you can save time and materials, if you are not fundamentally, in such places as in the corners where there will be curtains or in places where there will be, for example, a wardrobe. So.. I take the rule and apply to the wall, for example, we look at the curvature of the wall under the ceiling. We note for ourselves the places where the pits and failures on the wall can be remembered, you can draw a simple pencil. And throw a putty to these places. I would recommend Rotband, Goldband, and other products KNAUF. This is not an advertisement, we just always work and no complaints about them. And it goes well, it’s nice to work, smear, etc. D. And holds perfectly. If the surface is primed, of course. And so they put a putty and now we take the rule again, we put it to the wall in the corner (the joint of the wall and the ceiling) and pulling the rule in the left-right we pull down. Trying to keep its plane perpendicular to the surface of the wall. In general, that it would not bend. At first, you will probably spread a lot of putty and it will probably fall from the rule, but over time you will “shoot”. Then, as a rule, collect the excess from it and back into the bucket with a spatula. And so on. I will reveal a small secret. If the Rotband is allowed to dry on the wall for about 30 minutes, until the moment he starts to harden, then putting on it the same room you will receive true pleasure, including aesthetic. The putty will go to bed very well, will score all pores, and smooths roughness. It turns out a very smooth surface, at least the glue wallpaper.. If you are leaning the rule, stumble upon a hillock.. Well, this is a nuisance. Will have to give this hillock. As a rule, plaster on the walls of such a thickness that allows you to do this without reaching brick. But be careful, giving up an ax. It often happens that under these cones, an electrical twist is hidden.. You can wash minor cones directly by the rule. Shorny to them up and down. After they had a rule, you need to smooth the edges and the place itself with a spatula. Then you will have to putty less. You can divert putty from the corner or adjoining by about half a meter. Look here yourself, the main thing is that there is no sharp difference between putty and old plaster. After the entire perimeter is alleged to walk at once with a wide spatula. Smooth out all the bumps and differences. After that, how everything dries, you can proceed to the finish putty. Put the finish putty twice. Better to do this with a light bulb. That is, with lateral lighting. For example, putting on something non -combustible, for example, on a brick, a powerful bulb and move closer to the wall, then you will see all the bumps. If the room is very light, then close the window. Skit the walls (and ceilings) all the more only with a light bulb. Otherwise you will see all the bumps only after the wallpaper sticker. Take the walls especially carefully, where the light will fall along the wall. For example, they will hang. Well, finally, if you want or you need it so that the walls are just perfect both in the plane and in the level, you will have to put the beacons on the same Rotband. And already align the walls on them. It is quite simple and you can easily find a description on the Internet with pictures. Well, actually all
