A fairly common type of repair work is the decoration of walls and ceilings with liquid wallpaper. In our article, we will tell about how the preparation of liquid wallpapers is done with their own hands.

Distinctive features of the finishing material

Liquid wallpapers consist of three main components:

• natural fiber (cellulose, cotton or silk);
• water-based dye;
• binder material (acrylic dispersion or glue CMC).

As additional components can be applied:

• quartz and marble crumb;
• slyudy gloss;
• colored flocks.

The scope of application of liquid wallpaper is the inside of residential premises. They can be used both in the bedroom or children's room (create an original and cozy design), and in a living room or other spacious room with a home theater (possess excellent noise insulation).

To make liquid wallpaper with your own hands, you will not need too much space. Compared with the usual material, they do not need to cut into pieces and smeared with glue. Yes, and the alignment of the separated surface does not need to be necessary.

With liquid wallpaper it is very pleasant to work. The material does not smell and is quite easy to use. Liquid wallpapers fill all the gaps and joints near:

Liquid wallpaper are easily separated by complex architectural structures:

With their own hands, the liquid wallpapers presented in the photo can be made in one of two ways:

• purchase a ready-made dry mixture and make a working solution;
• independently make liquid wallpapers from girlfriend.

Preparation of a working solution from the finished mixture

Before starting the manufacture of liquid wallpapers with your own hands, you should prepare dishes. To conveniently stir the solution, the container must be round (there is a container with a diameter of 0.5-0.6 m) and shallow (up to 0.3 m). Due to the fact that liquid wallpaper is easily mixed, and kitchen dishes can be used for their preparation.

Water will need water to prepare the working mixture. Its temperature does not matter to create a qualitative solution. But it is better when the water temperature is within 20-25º. In warm water, it will be pleasant to stir the liquid wallpaper with your hands.

With regard to the number of packets, it is recommended to prepare a solution of 1-2 packages. This is explained by the fact that it will be difficult to stir a large amount of mixture to optimal consistency. Several packages of liquid wallpapers are mixed only when they relate to various parties of goods.

The process of manufacturing liquid wallpaper itself provides for the following actions:

• so that there were no many lumps, the package is shaken with a mixture;
• the contents of the package falls into the cooked container;
• dry mixture is covered 5 liters of water;
• the solution is stirred by hands until a homogeneous mass is obtained;
• the optimal consistency of the solution is obtained with a gradual addition of water into it.

Usually 1 packaging of liquid wallpaper is mixed with 5.5-6 liters of water. By consistency, the working solution must resemble dense cream. It should be noted that too thick the mixture will be hard to apply onto walls or ceiling, and too liquid solution will be drained from the surface.

Some types of liquid wallpapers are left for 7-8 hours. After normal swelling, the finishing material is again thoroughly mixed. If necessary, a small amount of water is added to it.

• gypsum and PVA glue are added to improve adhesion.

In order for liquid wallpaper to give a certain color shade, a purulent liquid is added to them. This is done in this way. First, a small amount of fluid should be added to the wallpaper. The mixture is stirred by a mixer.

Therefore, with the mixture of the mixture, the color intensity should be significantly higher than the planned shades.
