DownloadDrywall is currently widely used in the construction of internal partitions. Sheets are fixed with screws, and the joints are aligned using gypsum mixtures. This is a quick and economical way to create any interior solutions.
Gluing only joints of drywall sheets is one of the most common mistakes when repairing and applying liquid wallpaper. If the drywall is not primed sufficiently, then there is a chance that traces of joints between the plates will appear. Therefore, it is necessary to coat the entire wall area with a primer, even if the drywall sheets are even and smooth.
For best results, we recommend applying SILK PLASTER primer in 2-3 layers to the entire surface before applying liquid wallpaper, this is especially important for light colors.
Is the surface ready? Watch our tutorial video to properly prepare liquid wallpapers and apply them.
SILK PLASTER is used for finishing walls and ceilings. It combines reliability, ease of application and original aesthetic properties. A great variety of shades and textures helps to realize the most extraordinary ideas in interior design.
The way of preparation and application isn't complicated and only a plastic trowel is used as equipment. The durability of the material provides its long lifetime. SILK PLASTER is a great decision for those who wants to refresh the interior in a short time.
If you need several SILK PLASTER packages, mix all of them with water at once. Partial mixing of the package is forbidden.
Use only one kneading to cover the whole surface of the wall or ceiling. Don’t use two or more different portions of mixture for the same surface.
Prepared mixture should be used within 48 hours of soaking.
Note the importance of keeping right temperature and humidity throughout the period from the beginning of making up the mixture till the end of application. Air temperature in the working space should be no lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the humidity should be not more than 70%.
Keep SILK PLASTER packages in a dry place with a temperature from 5 to 40 degrees Celsius, away from sunlight. If these conditions are met and the package is sealed, expiration date is not limited.
Combine SILK PLASTER with water
Considering the surface area value, calculate the amount of total mixture needed. It matters because surface of one wall (or ceiling surface) should be completely covered with material from only one kneading. Pour the water into a plastic container and add the contents of the package. The required volume of water is indicated on the package. The temperature of water needed is 20-25 degrees Celsius. Water should be free from sediment and impurities.
