Experience in finishing rough houses.
- Plastering walls.
With the newly built wall surface, it must take enough time to dry completely, if the wall is too dry, it is recommended to moisten the wall with clean water.
You should use grinding stone to remove impurities that affect the adhesion of putty layers. Besides, you can grind the wall to create a relative flatness for the wall surface then use sandpaper to roughen the surface and clean the dirt with an air compressor or a clean wet wipe.
Plastering walls must not make small cracks, must be smooth. If in doubt, specialized measuring tools can be used to check for accuracy. In this process, we must check whether the quality of the mortar is good, because good mortar is a condition for the wall to achieve smoothness before painting.
