The existence of individual cracks in the plaster, located at a height of 30-40 cm below the ceiling, is usually caused by movement of the masonry bricks. A superficial sealing of the cracks would probably lead to a new crack. The complete solution is presented below.
- The cracking or disconnection of a masonry has as a natural consequence the appearance of cracks in the plaster.
- Initially the plaster is laid in a total width of 30 cm along the crack (15 cm on either side)
- Then the lips of the crack are widened with a chisel.
- It is cleaned with a hard brush.
- Then rinse well with water.
- Finally, fill the crack, as deep as possible, with DUROCRET or RAPICRET. The material is applied with a trowel.
- After the mortar dries, the surface is thoroughly cleaned of dust, etc. and wetted with water.
- Apply the first layer of plaster with UNICRET-FAST, reinforced with ADIPLAST building resin.
- While the first layer is still fresh, fiberglass mesh strips are applied locally with light pressure.
- After the first layer thickens, wet the surface followed by the second layer with UNICRET-FAST.
- Once the plaster is sufficiently adhered, it is rubbed with a sponge rub.
- After the surface dries, it is primed with PRIMER PROFESSIONAL and painted with STANDARD COLOR.
