The modern construction market provides big many options of finishing materials, and it, in turn, expands also the list of options of finishing. At independent performance of finishing it is necessary to understand that the finishing mixes produced in conditions of production have certain purpose, and for other purposes to use them does not follow.
Owners of the room, where it is repaired, not always try to resort to the help of professionals. Even without having special experience in finishing, they try to perform maximum of works independently. Results of such actions can be both good, and bad. Some of beginners consider that he is capable to understand everything independently, others try to get professional advice concerning some stages of works. Often questions concern the correct use of construction mixes. For example, it seems to many finishers self-educated persons that it is quite admissible to use finish for puttying of problem places.
Whether it is possible to replace putty with finish
Possibly everything, but the result can not always be satisfactory. In attempt to use finish instead of putty it is necessary to remember that use of these materials essentially differs. The putty should be put with thin layer, it is calculated on the fastest loss of moisture, and the finish is used for penetration into seams and their fillings. Inexperienced finishers self-educated persons can be misled by similar fraction of both materials. Sometimes finish try to putty surface with defects, hoping for acceptable result. But all minuses of such approach are visible at once. The finish will burst and peel off from surface, and its application in this quality – lost labor. In most cases it is necessary to clean off then the caused structure and to remake everything.
Use of finish for puttying
If in the course of finishing there was situation when puttying with use of finish is represented need, try to find other way out nevertheless. If to find way out it has not turned out, try to make work extremely accurately. First of all it is necessary to consider that zatirochny mixes are calculated on introduction on depth of 2-5 mm. The finish will dry several hours after drawing. As it does not need to hold water, in its structure there are no additives helping it. But for putty the water retention capacity is one of the major indicators. When drawing as putty zatirochny mix at once gives moisture, at the same time losing the properties. It can be friable or crack. And process of drawing will be difficult – under the palette it will dry and be twisted. The only defects of surfaces which are admissible to be closed up thus without strong losses in quality – small holes, small slots. Introduction to finish of the water-retaining agent is very desirable.
