How to make a stucco of gypsum

Gypsum - fragile and capricious material, however, it was precisely experts for the manufacture of stucco. This building material was characterized by such a property as an extension, which allows it to penetrate the smallest embossed shapes and cracks, ensuring high accuracy of the product performed. When creating a fill of gypsum forms, it is necessary to make a slight shaking, which ensures the elimination of air bubbles and thoroughly filling in a small structure.

To reduce the charge, the gypsum is bred on lime water, applying for its preparation haired and forgery. For a solution that will be used for casting, water and gypsum is taken in a ratio of 1: 0.7, and a more dense solution is created for pulling, the ratio of components in which 1: 2.

Stucco plaster with your hands

Modern stucco decorations are made on the basis of special forms. They may be various metal forms that, thanks to their inner level surface, make it possible to create a product that does not assume additional refinement. Such forms are more often used for the manufacture of stucco on an industrial scale, since the metal can withstand an unchanged to 2500 cycles.

More inexpensive forms - silicone and latex. They have a little less durability, and the product obtained when pouring into them has not so perfect appearance and requires refinement.

Plaster Miscellane Technology

The production of stucco passes in several stages. Be sure to take care of the availability of all materials and tools. You will need:

• building gypsum;
• colorless varnish;
• brush;
• spatula;
• Silicone Grease;
• Artistic plasticine that does not stick to his hands.

Progress:

1. Initially, plasticine should be prepared and cut out the model of the future product from it. It can be done independently, with the help of a sketch or purchase ready.

2. Then the inner surface of the shape is labeled with silicone lubrication.
3. The model is placed on a flat surface.

4. Next, we prepare a gypsum solution, which must have sour creation consistency.
5. The first layer should be applied using brushes and only then fill the entire form. If a large column is manufactured, then a copper mesh is laid out after the first layer, which will be involved as the reinforcing component.
6. The rear side of the future product is leveling, and the form is left for drying (1-4 hours).
7. When everything is ready, stucco is removed from the form. The outer side is polished and covered with colorless varnish.

Painting of decorative plaster stucco

Gypsum relief has a white clean surface, so sometimes it must be transformed. For painting stucco, it is better to apply the same paint that you used for painting walls.

Before starting to apply paint, it must be stirred and breed with water. Conducting a stucco need a small tassel having a long pile. Various scuffs, patting, aging and gilding are created to give a product of "flying time". If you wish to make a natural texture, you can apply a sponge, synthetic materials, pieces of fabric, and the like.

3. Then, on the surface and a stucco using chisels are notches. This should be done for the best grip.
4. The glue on the product solution from the plaster with addition of wood glue (ratio - 3% of the total weight of the adhesive solution).
5. Further, the surface of molded parts and wetted with water using a brush.
6. By installing the decor, you need to move it slightly, and remove the excess mixture with a spatula.

Recommendations:

• Small stucco parts (up to 100 mm) can be fixed using a plaster or cement mortar;
• Products intended for the facade are better to be treated with oil or paraffin;
• The stucco is better to mount raw - it is better to grab with the surface;
