Seals cracks in the walls

Repair of plaster on the walls, experts recommend starting from the bottom up. All cracks at the bottom of walls, plastering in the first place, and end at the junction of the ceiling with stenami.Odnim the most difficult parts to repair the walls are exterior angles. Handle the resulting cracks and chips on the corners is recommended as follows.

You must first clean up the quality and the plaster coating slightly larger than the one that cracked and crumbled, necessarily to a rectangular ledge below with respect to the speaker corner of the wall. Apply the plaster on the walls a little easier than at the ceiling, but there are some tricks you should know and consider.
Any plaster - the first primer, second or last, trowels - should be applied only from the bottom up. Why? Overwriting or wiping the solution from the top down, we are thus contributing to the detachment of the solution from the previous coverage. Apply the solution on the cut and secured on the outer corners of the basin also should be a bottom-up, tentatively on the left hand corner of attaching a wooden rail, bigger than treated depression; it will serve as something of a formwork.
If a defect in the plaster takes up two-thirds the height of the wall, the rail should be fastened on the floor, with a focus on the ceiling with sloping support slats. When opalubnye slats fastened, free from dust and sand depressions should moisten repaired corner plot. A solution must be applied in three steps, each time giving a good dry and otverdet previous layer.
Formwork is removed after the hardened upper layer of grout. Alignment angle necessary to produce already on dry plaster. For these purposes, you can use pumice stone or a large sandpaper, wrap tightly around a wooden bar.
Lapping work should be done as follows. First you have to stand so that viewed the plane walls, forming an angle, and begin to hone angle (or output). Bumps and irregularities on both sides of the angle necessary to align the plane and check meter steel ruler. And the last thing lap fasovochny cut to the corner wall. It's almost jewelry-like, if slice fasovochny ground-bad (and it can determine if it remains visible bumps on it), then the angle would look crooked.
If the surface after grinding the dry to get too rough, you need to re-apply a small amount of mortar and zap until flat and smooth condition.
