Preparing the ceiling for painting

How to properly prepare the ceiling for painting ? This is a phased and not the simplest process. To begin with, evaluate the state of your ceiling, then clean it. Then follows the priming of the ceiling. How to primetovat ceiling before painting? It is best to take a ready-made primer. If you take concentrate, then dilute it in the appropriate proportions. The entire instruction is written on the label. Nowadays, there are a lot of different primers, and to say which is better is almost impossible.

Stages

  1. Priming the ceiling should be at least two times. After the priming, plaster, and then shpaklyuem ceiling. No matter how much you want to skip these points of the plan, without it, leveling the ceiling for painting will not work.
  2. It is necessary to properly prepare the surface of the ceiling before plastering the ceiling for painting. To start the puttying of the ceiling is possible only after carrying out the plastering works.
  3. Tools that you will need: a platen for soil application, a drill with a mixer, a plastic bucket or a clean basin for diluting the mixture, a large spatula, a small spatula, sandpaper, a holder for it and a carrying with a lamp.

Process

We need a dry putty polymer mixture, which can be prepared by reading the instructions. Pour the mixture from the bag into clean hot water, mix thoroughly, after fifteen minutes, stir again. The mixture is ready if it becomes homogeneous, without any lumps and resembles a creamy consistency.

Apply the first layer of putty as soon as the primer dries. We have two spatulas at our disposal, we rub the mixture together a little to make an even layer, then we put it on the ceiling. It is best to start applying a layer of putty from the middle of the ceiling, and then move on to the corners and walls. Do not try to spread a thick layer at a time, we do everything gradually and smoothly.

After the putty dries, be sure to treat it with sandpaper. The best way to see the irregularities is to help carry it.

Before applying the final layer of putty, you need to once again otgruntovat ceiling and dry it. Primer is needed here to remove all the dust after work by the skin.

Then we apply the last thin layer of putty to properly prepare the ceiling for painting. It should be perfectly smooth, otherwise any good paint will present to the eyes all the irregularities and scratches.

After you have correctly prepared the ceiling for painting, the matter is left for a small one - we apply the paint itself.

Good luck with the repair!
