Taking a moment to renew the painting

Smooth walls are basic for an environment according to the latest trends. The classic gotelé, a technique already used by only some builders to reduce costs in the new homes, is deprecated. Happily delete it is possible with a little time ahead. We encourage you to do so!

The walls without gotelé are the aspiration of any fan to the decoration. Some take advantage of the moment in which plays to renew painting for the professional that you budget the task. And sometimes carried a huge scare! The time spent in withdrawing the gotelé rises sharply the Bill, even can reach tripicarla, multiply working time.

Do not you agobies! Although it is a laborious task, it is simpler than it seems, and many have already undertaken her in our homes with results more than satisfactory. The classical technique It is essential to know the type of painting that the walls are painted. With temple? You’re in luck: you can put an end to the gotelé simply with water. Plastic paint? The wall is you but… there is solution. A third possibility is that you do not know what type of paint is: wet and observes how it reacts. If is it moistened to fund and darkens, is temple. If it does, it is plastic. You also know if it is temple, when to lean on the wall, loose dust.

Remove the gotelé Temple is very easy. Buy a good spray (best with pump, which is used in gardening). Spray water over the wall and as you soak, rises paint with a spatula with a movement from the bottom up almost parallel to the wall Ah! A professional trick: sanded the edges of the spatula to avoid it scratch deep in an oversight.

Take the precaution of putting plastic underneath because it stain much. And being examined: the smell of wet masonry is unmistakable. I do not recommend doing so with electric Sander (though you can) because it rises very fine dust in suspension (toxic) or with a cloth just restregando (there are who do this when it is very fine drop) because excessive humedeces the wall. In any case, are two more ways to take into account. Remove the plastic (or acrylic) painting requires the use of flux. This product is applied with brush (airing well) and is removed with spatula with the same technique as the temple.

The time has come for the truth: the smooth walls defects are accentuated. You’ll see very well if you iluminas with a focus or flashlight directly. You must fill in the fixing holes and crevices with a paste (type Aguaplast or Liteplast). Apply it with the help of the spatula and alisa wet. If there are many irregularities, buys a large size and enluce the entire wall with flat (to practise will improve the application). To finish sanded with abrasive paper of fine-grained wrapped in a piece of wood and applies a hand of Fixer of latex lowered with water. You have the wall ready and smooth!

If the septum is diverted and want to hide it, or has many imperfections and prefer a fast technique, you can opt for a mopped finish or with paletina (often do not need either plastered or primer). There are paintings of high decoration excellent to do so, such as Osaka, very easy to implement.

Cover the gotelé directly with a smoothing pasta is another possibility to hide it. Axton (powder) and Aguaplast renovation (pasta) are specified for this task. Les Decoratives has a product called Alisa Gotelé easy, a painting to apply with a roller that covers the gotelé effortlessly. The problem with these products is its price, which grows as it facilitates the implementation.
