In order to exclude the presence of hidden defects, it is necessary to make sure that the plaster layer does not peel off the wall surface, that there are no smudges and other third-party spots. Plaster should be completely devoid of potholes, cracks and bulges, not provided for by the decorative texture. All of these defects are easily identified by visual inspection.

There are still defects of a technological and operational nature. The first are formed during the plastering process itself. Often they appear in the form of cracks, bubbles, swelling and exfoliation.

Operational defects appear only with time - during operation. To exclude and minimize them, it is recommended to periodically inspect the surface and timely eliminate defects at an early stage.

There are several basic rules for repairing a defective area of ​​decorative plaster:

  1. Joints and corners are necessarily equipped with a metal mesh.
  2. It is important to mix the solution with high quality in order to comply with the norms of its consistency.
  3. The layer applied to the wall should have an average volume.
  4. To prevent the plaster layer from drying out, its surface must be wetted with water during operation.
