Universal gypsum plaster "Fugenfüller"

If you are going to do repairs, then you can not do without plaster. Currently, the building materials market can offer a huge range of this material. But today we would like to present to your attention, undoubtedly, the best option in this segment. We are talking about the putty "Fugenfüller" from the famous firm "Knauf". I must admit that this is an outdated name, but experienced dressers are very used to it, that's why we will call it that.

Dry mix is available in three versions:

- the usual "Fugen";

- "Fugen GF";

- Fugen Hydro.

The mixture is sold in bags of five, ten and twenty-five kilograms in bags. Fugenfueler putty is used to seal joints between sheets of gypsum board, with the use of serpentines, to repair GCL damages , putty with a thin layer of concrete bases, fill joints of concrete elements, glue drywall sheets, etc.

Putty "Fugenfüller" is incredibly easy to use. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that the color of this material is predominantly gray, and after processing it the surface becomes spotty: in places it is darker or lighter. Therefore, it is better to choose a thicker wallpaper so that it does not shine through. The main thing is that the touch surface will be ideal.

The dry putty "Fugenfüller" is applied to the walls with a layer no more than three millimeters. A thicker layer will provoke furrows and rips. The putty dries very quickly - thirty minutes, and the material is no longer suitable for work. Therefore, do not mix the solution in very large volumes. A new portion of putty mix when you spend the previous.

The consistency of the Fugenfüller putty is significantly different from Shitrok and Vetonita. These mixtures are more viscous, and the mixture from Knauf does not stretch behind the spatula.

Like any building material, Fugenfüller putty has its drawbacks and advantages. Its advantages include:

- high strength;

- the minimum expense;

- high quality of the treated surface;

- Affordable price.

Disadvantages of this material can be considered:

- quick drying (sometimes it can be a plus);

- difficult to grind;

- impossibility of applying a layer more than three millimeters;

- danger of the appearance of dark spots on light wallpaper.

The putty "Knauf" ("Fugenfüller") is mixed in accordance with certain rules:

- Mix the mixture into the water very slowly and over the entire surface. Do it better not with a trowel, but with your hand.

- Allow the mixture to stand a little (after two to three minutes it will swell a little).

- Mix the composition more expediently by hand - initially the mass may seem too liquid, but do not rush, after a few minutes the mixture will become a necessary consistency.

- Do not dispose of the remains of the composition in a container with a total mass. This will shorten the working time with it and lead to the formation of lumps.

The dry mix from the manufacturer with a world name is a putty "Fugenfüller" ("Knauf"). The characteristics of this material made it popular with builders around the world. Affordable price (a bag of 25 kilograms will cost you no more than five hundred rubles) attracts buyers.
