Sickle - what is this?

Searp is an armor material that is universal. It is suitable for plasterboard, and for concrete surfaces, on which plaster is applied. This is a very dense material, perfectly absorbing water, which means that it can be used for various thick layers. What does it mean? Serpchanka is best used in situations where the thickness of the putty exceeds 1 mm.

What is a serpian for?

This material is used to superimpose on:

- Joints of hardboard, chipboard, gypsum board and much more.

- Seams, corners and crevices on plaster as well as concrete surfaces.

- Areas of contact between windows and doors with walls.

- For the implementation of continuous reinforcement of ceilings.

Ways of gluing sickbirds and wrinkles

For all this, you can use both a serpian and a redink. How do they differ from each other? Sirloin is a thicker mesh, and the redicle is a little thinner. There are two ways to use them.

First: apply a layer of putty. Then attach a sickle (or a band) to it. Then apply another layer of putty.

The second: to impose a sickle (or a band) on any surface. Apply the putty.

It is impossible to say exactly which of these methods is preferable. People resort to both these options, and the result is always happy. The ribbon sickle never fails.

Glass-fiber self-adhesive muffler in the form of a grid

Used to overlay on:

- Areas of contact between windows and doors with walls.

- Joints of hardboard, chipboard, gypsum board and much more.

- Areas adjacent to the walls to the ceiling.

- Cracks on them.

Benefits of Serpent

Many building compounds (putties, as well as plastering solutions) are distinguished by a strong alkaline medium. A serpian contains a polyacrylate dispersion, which protects it from their aggressive properties. Agree, this is important. Outwardly the serpent looks like a mesh, which means that oxygen can not get under the tape, which would be extremely undesirable. In addition, it does not form irregularities and bubbles. The mesh surface and non-solidified, evenly spread composition on the basis of glue guarantee fast and high-quality work. And it's worth a lot. And the muffler mesh even to beginners seems easy to operate. The joints of the sheets must necessarily be puttyed, and also reinforced. For the latter task, it is recommended to use a serpyanka with a self-adhesive glass cloth or consisting of lavsan. It should be noted that the first option has more advantages.

The sequence of actions when working with a sickle

If the choice is stopped with a simple serpian, then at the first stage it is necessary to seal the seam with putty. Then you should impose a sickle on it. Next - stand the time for the resulting layer to freeze. Then again put the putty. And again it is necessary to let it freeze. The last stage is polishing with the help of a skin.

Extremely simple action plan

A serpent self-adhesive with one hand movement is superimposed on the drywall (this is actually very easy), and then putty is carried out.
This tape, in fact, is a grid. And this means that the putty can easily enter the seam and fill it 100%. All this does not require any special skills and abilities. The serpian is applied, the putty is made, then it all dries, and then it is sanded. The plan of action is extremely simple.

Is it worth it to be afraid that the serpian will come unstuck in time?

When gluing on a sickling, people usually think that eventually something will happen to her, that she will fall behind the wall. Absolutely vain excitement. The glue retains the mesh only in the first stage. Further, when a person smears the putty, it penetrates both into the seam and into the holes of the serpent. It is necessary to understand that thanks to it the ribbon will be fixed, and the glue will cease to function. Serplyka is a very reliable material, and one should not doubt this.

When is it better to use lavsan?

And if you do not produce shpatlevku? In this case, the glass-cloth tape is not recommended to be applied - it is thick enough and it will be noticeable on the wall. In this situation it is preferable to use lavsan. However, unfortunately, self-adhesive tapes on such a base do not produce. What does it mean? It will be necessary to glue it yourself to latex or polyvinyl acetate glue. The choice depends on the method of further processing the wall. When buying glue, you should pay attention to its basis. It is very important. For example, polyvinyl acetate glue is made on the basis of water, and therefore it can not always be used. The bottom line is that the sheets of drywall are fixed to the crate, usually with screws. What happens next? The glue comes into contact with the screw head, and the corrosion process starts, after which dark rusty stains appear on the surface.

To summarize, you can say that a serpian is a grid, just irreplaceable for many kinds of work. It has proved itself well and is in great demand.
