Give your Home A Rich Look With Wall Putty

Wall Putty
              It is a mixture of whitening powder and linseed oil (javas tel ),used to make wall surface smooth or plane. After plastering wall was not too finish or smooth. you can use 12mm coat of 'plaster of paris', before painting. This makes wall surface gloosy and after painting it looks great. It cost's too much.Instead you can use wall putty,which is cheap and gives good looking. You can use wall putty to fill cracks and holes also, for good result you can use 'crack seal' to fill gaps.



How to apply
  • Use wall putty on plastered surface as protective base coat before applying expensive paint.
  • If the plaster is made from grey cement use wall putty to level the surface.
  • Over coarse putty substrate, apply wall putty to smoothen the surface and provide a protection undercoat for expensive paint. The white base will also ensure that the true tone of any shade/color will stand out.
  • Apply uniformly the first coat of putty with blade/trowel on the wall from bottom to top. 
  • Apply second coat after the first coat has dried completely. The total thickness of two coats should not exceed 1.5mm. 
  • Allow complete drying and then use fine emery paper to remove the application marks if any. 
  • Now the surface is ready for any kind of paint to be applied on it. Use water for curing before applying paint.
