Decorative plaster "a la daub". Go back to basics.

Appearing on the market, decorative plasters quickly gained popularity, as they give the opportunity to the exclusive interior. Great choice allows any imagination and get as perfectly smooth, marbled surface and a different texture under the stone, wood or cloth. It is noteworthy that the effect largely depends not on the formulation used and on the application method that maximizes the possibilities of the material. Everyone has different tastes, for some benchmark is smooth, the other for texture, but with a clear pattern. One of the users of the portal FORUMHOUSE, tired of modern coatings decided to decorate a room in the style of adobe homes - a mud hut.

Basis

Mazanka is a textured surface, but the relief is not pronounced as in Bark type coatings and the like and flattened, smooth undulation.

It turns out somewhere between the ideal smooth and clear texture, a feeling of naturalness, naturalness. That forumchanin nick GOOSE it attracted such a traditional covering for many villages. In his house, he wanted to recreate the mud hut, but of course, on the basis of modern blends instead of the traditional components - clay and horse manure. For help in selecting the right staff, he addressed the portal.

GOOSE (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Do not allow to be lost in the mass of "Venetian", "bark beetle" and other plasters! Someone tell me how and what do I get the "effect of the hut?" Wall material - GCR in two layers.

That is, the task is not to bring a flat surface on the curve of the wall, but on the contrary, on a smooth basis to create a relief. By the way, VenetianWhich is so not like forumchanin requires perfectly smooth base and GCR - one of the best options. The main difference from the rest of the hut decorative compositions - drawing hands, and not a tool. Spatula or bevel give a smooth edge, texture leaves linear, and when leveling manually turns naturally wavy, not "lapped up" metal or plastic. In the villages Mazanov walls whitened with chalk or lime, diluted to a thick consistency, and surface remained drawing brushes - the longitudinal groove arranged in accordance with the direction of the brush strokes.

To emphasize the decorative relief applied, a suitable finishing composition, chalk and lime lost relevance, but the mass sale of water-based, acrylic paints and other coatings, and with similar properties.

To recreate the hut easiest to use plaster effect "starting" filler, calculated on a sufficiently thick layer pounce - a few centimeters. Finishing mixture intended for the final surface alignment, suitable for the layer a few mm and with an increase in this index could go fractures and crumbling. With this agreement and the participants of Default themes nuwa It proposed based on any dry putty lump to make a plastic mass by adding the PVA glue: 3 kg of 700 g of dry raw glue. Stir better part of the building mixer, putty turns airier and more uniform, and to put her hands in gloves - medical or construction, rubberized. The substrate must be primed, if several layers of "coat" that is primed each of them.

Another way to add gypsum-based elasticity and extend the serviceability of the solution - add water, concentrated acrylic primer. At a cost of the resulting mixture is much cheaper ready-made acrylic putties, and on the properties to be as close as possible. As for decorative plasters produced specifically for creating embossed interior coatings, then the weight of the undoubted merits, they have a significant drawback - the cost. When it comes to creating a panel or trim a small area, and you can spend, but if you decide to cover the ceiling and walls in the large squaring, price matters.

During the discussion of the proposed application, and a spatula, and use a roller to create relief and raise putty thinner and applied with a wide brush, a lot of variants. It was decided that daub it is handmade, and the best option in terms of price, quality and decorative - plaster type Rotband. She and setting time enough to have time to apply and give relief, and the frozen surface We get as close as possible to this hut, and the cost is quite feasible even for large volumes.

One of the participants decided to make the theme wall "a la daub" in the bathroom, and to protect the coating against moisture, add filler latex modifiers are sold in DIY stores.

Turdor (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I'm not a painter, but of all the blends most suitable Rotband think, too, and he did get easier. Still it is possible to add additives latex - that will not crack, and the water was not afraid.

Starter, considered the options proposed, focused on the method of applying gypsum plaster with a spatula, followed by leveling hand in rubber glove and final processing of the wet brush in a circular motion, which smooths the terrain and make it uniform.

To cover the joints between the fragments were less visible, they are not made in a straight line and curved. Subsequently, when applied to the next track, brush strokes are executed as a continuation of the previous ones, which finally integrates web.

For the topcoat, GOOSE decided to plant water-based paint to the consistency of yogurt and apply the broad strokes, not wiping, keep drawing. Before painting it grinds dry surface fine sandpaper to get the invoice, but a smooth, pleasant to the touch texture. Daub perfectly with wood-beamed ceilings, and turned available, and arts, and enjoyed himself the master and members of the household.

If desired, by means of conventional fillers actually get a surface which is not conceding on appearance costly decorative compositions. A durability guaranteed if observe surface preparation technique, and not exceed the allowable material layer. Everyone is free to choose the texture, application options and applied compositions, and GOOSE experience and other members of his Topics will be useful to anyone who is willing to withdraw from the fashion trends and do what you want, and not, as in all.
