To achieve the desired result in the process of finishing work, you must follow the established procedure.

For proper mixing of the solution, do the following:

• The components of the putty solution are prepared from an approximate calculation - 1.2 kg / m2 with a layer thickness of 1 mm. On a bag weighing 25 kg consumes about 8 liters of water.
• The contents of the bag is laid out in water, the solution is stirred for about 10 minutes using an electric drill with a nozzle, manually the consistency will be worse. The mixture is settled on average for 20 minutes and then whipped again. The average time of availability of the mixed solution is about one day.
• For application apply narrow (30 cm) and wide (70 cm) spatulas.
• Putty mixture is applied in one or two layers. In the case of two-layer processing, the second layer is applied only to the completely dried first.
• For priming it is best to apply acrylic solution.

The procedure includes the following steps:

• Training. Before applying the putty work surface is cleaned from debris and old finishes.If there are minor defects on the surface, they must be removed with a starting putty or plaster and then sanded to approximately the same level. Next, the surface is degreased.
• Padding. In order for the mortar to stick to the wall, it must be treated with a primer.

• Application The solution is drawn smoothly from side to side. The thickness of the applied layer is determined by the specific type of putty, each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one dries. After hardening of the first layer, the surface can be ground and then cleaned of construction dust. The coating is re-primed, the final layer is further stretched.
• Finalized When the finish layer dries, the surface is polished, cleaned and primed, after which the wall is ready for further finishing work: wallpapering, painting.

The process has a specific algorithm:

• Training. The ceiling is cleaned from dirt and dust, the remnants of the previous finish are removed, the surface is ground and degreased.
• Padding. Like the wall, the ceiling is primed with a roller.
• Application Putty in small portions superimposed on a large spatula and pulled along the ceiling plane. In the end the surface is polished.

Surface. Before applying any finishing putty to the Vetonit, the working surface must be pre-leveled. Any defects must be smeared or ground, the finishing solution is not designed to eliminate them. All excess dirt, dust, old finishes, mold must be cleaned. After that, you need to carry out degreasing and primer.

Vetonit putty is designed for manual application., although it is possible to apply it with a spray. After hardening of the applied layer (24 hours), pay attention to those places where there were previously joints and seams. Irregularities are often formed in these areas. After finishing the filling work, it is better to immediately rinse the tools with water,after the solution hardens, it will be much more difficult.

When working, it is better to use protective equipment: glasses, a mask or a respirator. Although Vetonit spackling mixes, produced in Russia, are made from natural raw materials and do not have a toxic effect, the dust generated during work can mechanically damage health, for example, if it gets into your eyes or lungs.
