Therefore, the choice of putty for wallpaper - it is quite difficult. So which shpaklevku for walls to choose under the wallpaper?
What putty is better for wallpaper?
There are two types of putty, which can be used for wallpaper: starting and finishing . The starting putty is applied to walls with a thick layer up to 2 cm and in this it looks like plaster. However, unlike the latter, such material is better kept on the surface of the wall due to its plasticity and quickly dries up.
Finishing plaster , judging by its name, serves for finishing the walls. With its help you can eliminate even imperceptible to the eye irregularities. If the walls in the room are even, then they can be plastered with only the finishing putty. If there are uneven surfaces on the surfaces, a layer of the starting mixture is first applied, and then covered with the finishing putty.
On sale there is a putty in the form of a dry powder and ready-made weight. The latter option is a bit expensive, but it does not need to be planted, which is very valuable for beginning masters. But experts still recommend the wallpaper to use plaster in dry form.
