What is the best way to apply Wall putty?

 

Wall putty is the perfect way to make sure that the surface of your walls are smooth and ready for painting. It's a cementitious substance made out of clay, providing an excellent abrasion resistance level while being both nontoxic and easy-working. Wall Putty also keeps away seepage and moisture troubles, protecting your wall from potential growths such as algae or fungi. On top of all that it has great binding properties and is compatible with almost any paint type - making maintenance costs low!

Give your walls a stunning, moisture-free finish with two varieties of wall putty: Acrylic and White Cement based on Polymer additives.

Perlcon is one of the maestros in the wall putty business with decades-long experience and here is our guide to the best way of using wall putty:

• Above all else, prioritize health and safety when working. Donning gloves, a mask, and protective eyewear is key to warding off any dust particles that could potentially enter the body and cause complications.
• To apply wall putty to an older wall, you must begin by ensuring that all dust, oil paints, old wallpaper pieces, grease and stains are completely removed from the surface. Use sandpaper or a dry brush for this process in order to clear away any flakes or chips that may be present on the walls. Once complete your wall will be ready for application of the putty!
• To ensure a pristine wall surface, use a wire brush or water to eradicate any algae and fungi present. Then, dry the area with an absorbent cloth for heightened cleanliness.
• After the putty paste is prepared, examine your wall for any crevices, dents, holes or rough areas and fill them out with the paste in order to level off the surface.
• For a perfectly smooth finish, you will want to mix two parts of water and one part Perlcon wall putty until the mixture is silken. Make sure not to overmix as this can cause your putty to dry quickly and become difficult to work with in just a few hours. The pre-mixed acrylic based putty should be used exclusively indoors while our dry mix works great on both interior or exterior walls made out of plaster or concrete.
• Once your wall is ready, be sure to apply a thin layer of primer for smooth coverage and better paint adherence. To create a unified look on the wall even if you won't use putty throughout it, spread the primer across all surfaces. Doing this will enable patched areas to blend in seamlessly while ensuring that your paint sticks properly.
• It's time to get down and dirty. Take a dollop of putty on your small trowel, then position it onto the large one. Spread it evenly across its surface until you have almost reached either end of the blade. Finally, slather this combination over the wall for optimum coverage!
• Firmly press the towel blade against the wall and scrape it upwards, then spread out putty along all of the surface. To make sure everything is evened out correctly, use your towel blades to smooth over any imperfections.
• Allow the putty to dry for 16-24 hours and apply a second coat of putty for additional sturdiness. Once that dries, your wall is ready to be painted! There you have it - easy as pie.

      Applying wall putty is a simple process that can be done by anyone. All you need is a putty knife, some water and the right amount of putty. You should always start with a small area to get the feel for it before moving on to larger areas.
