We divor her in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Apply a brush of medium stiffness to heat the material well. The processing of the primer improves the adhesion of the plasterboard sheet with applying subsequently finishing materials.

We proceed with the putty of plasterboard. New skills we will not need, we use the principle conventional putty wall. Since the GLC is smooth, it will be enough to apply 2 layers - first the starting composition, then the finishing. After complete drying, each layer is grinding finely and coarse sandpaper. It is important not to apply extra efforts so as not to erase the putty completely and do not bargain the cardboard itself.

If you save efforts and skip the putty step, there may be quite unpleasant consequences, namely:

  • translucent of seams through the wallpaper of light tones;
  • when changing wallpaper, the old will be removed with the layer of plaster;
  • displaying a picture when sticking new wallpapers on top of the old, if the top layer is the lighter of the bottom.

We apply glue into a segment, and if necessary - and on the wall. Apply a strip, align it, caught up to the already glued parts. We try to keep the joints of the wallpaper not coincided with the seams of drywall. With the help of a rubber roller, a plastic spatula or an ordinary rag, you drive out the air from under the strip, moving from the center of the segment to its edges. Do not forget that to maximize joints, start glue the wallpaper from the window.

When all the walls are saved, the room must be closed for a day to give glue to dry. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the appearance of drafts, otherwise the wallpaper can fall behind the drywall.
