Liquid wallpaper is a modern finishing material consisting of natural cotton and cellulose fibers, adhesive components, high-quality dyes and various decorative elements - from quartz crumb to silk threads. Surprisingly beautiful, eco-friendly and practical, they combined all the best qualities of traditional paper wallpapers and decorative plaster. Working with this finish finish is solid pleasure, that is why it is increasingly choosing for independent repairs.

The initial stage of work is the correct and high-quality preparation of the working surface. According to the technology, it must be durable, smooth, clean and dry. First of all, with the help of a spatula, remove the old coating from the walls (wallpaper, paint, plaster) and slightly polish the cleaned surface with sandpaper. Next, proceed to alignment of the walls - using a gypsum putty (the spatlement can be complete or partial, depending on the situation), carefully close all the joints, pits, cracks and holes. To eliminate more significant errors, use a reinforced grid. After drying, the putty twice trends the surface of the primer - for better adhesion coating with the base. The final barcode of the preparatory stage is the color of the walls of a bright shade with a water-emulsion.

The next step is to prepare the mixture. When they strictly strictly follow the proportions specified in the manufacturer's instructions. After pre-catching the package, pour its contents into a large container, fill with warm water (the perfect temperature is about 40-45 ° C) and blend thoroughly to the state of homogeneity. As a rule, there are thin long fibers in liquid wallpapers, which are easily damaged with intense mechanical mixing - that is why it is better to make hands, and not a drill-mixer. To completely dissolve the components, the solution should be for 6-12 hours (see the exact time in the instructions). Ready-made liquid wallpapers have a homogeneous casczyce consistency. In order to save time to the preparation of the mixture, proceed at the stage of grinding walls.

Important nuance: Initially, you need to correctly calculate the required amount of finishing material. So, one standard packaging is usually enough for finishing 5 m² of the area covered. However, it is worth understanding that the thickness of the application of liquid wallpaper can be different, so it is better to purchase material with a small gap. In addition, with bright lighting, the compositions from different races may differ significantly among themselves, so it is better to cover the prepared surface in one reception.

Masters finishing usually spray liquid wallpapers on a working surface from a special hopper gun. Such a technology is called "spray" and requires certain skills. The beginners are much easier to apply the finish with the traditional way using two spatulas: the main (wide) is used to apply the coating to the base, narrow - to apply the mixture to the main spatula.

In general, the process of applying wallpaper is quite simple - impose a small amount of mixture to the work wall and evenly distribute zigzag movements along the surface (the optimal layer thickness is 3-4 mm). The composition should sufficiently cover the base - neither properbers, nor the bulges should be. During the work, do not dry the edges of the separated portion, otherwise the seams of the adjacent sections will be very noticeable.

After coating each square meter, smooth out the treated area with a wet plastic grater. If you want to make the coating volumetric relief, go through the walls (5-7 hours after the design of wallpaper) in water in the water. With elevated humidity in the room, the liquid wallpaper after complete drying is necessarily fixed with transparent acrylic varnish or latex impregnation.

Remains of the working solution Pack into the cellophane package or sealed plastic container and place in the freezer. In the future, after defrosting, it can be used to restore damaged wallpaper sections. The defective zone is repaired as follows - the damaged layer of wallpaper is neatly removed with a sharp knife, "space" is filled with a serving of a new mixture and is thoroughly aligned with a wet roller. At first, the renovated plot can be a little brighter of the common background, but over time the color is necessarily aligned.
As you can see, the application of liquid wallpapers is an absolutely simple and creative process that anyone can mask.
