This homemade plamir can cut manufacturing costs because factory-made plamir is quite expensive in the pocket, but that doesn’t mean the quality of homemade plamir is not good, you know, this homemade quality is still ok. Some of the benefits of plamir as a wall block, some of which are as follows:
- Saves layers of paint because it coats the pores of the wall
- Makes the paint layer even and smooth
- Able to patch uneven layers / wall pores
- Prevent water seepage into the wall
- Prevents mold from growing on walls
- etc
After the walls or walls of the house are finished, of course the surface of the walls is still hot and porous, most people coat the walls or walls with wall plamir that can be purchased at a building store, the function of plamir is to make the walls look smoother and so that the paint does not seep so that it can avoid waste paint. Some treatments before applying plamir & painting are as follows:
- Clean the surface of the wall from powder and dirt so that the plamir absorbs & coats the wall stronger.
- Make sure the wall to be coated with plamir is completely dry for at least 7 days after the process of making the finished wall.
- Flatten plamir using rakel
- Plamir sandpaper until you get a smooth and even wall surface
- New do the painting
