Applying binder to a wall is a crucial step in preparing the surface for paint or other finishes, ensuring better adhesion and durability. Based on the provided information, here's how to apply binder effectively.
The fundamental method for applying binder on a wall is to apply one coat by roller or brush onto a clean, dry surface.
Before you begin the application process, proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the binder adheres correctly and performs its function.
Surface Preparation Steps
The condition of the existing wall surface dictates the necessary preparation. According to the reference:
- Clean and Dry Surface: Always ensure the wall is clean and completely dry before applying the binder. This allows for proper adhesion.
- Dealing with Defects:
- If the old coating or the wall substrate itself has blisters or other defects, these must be completely removed.
- Removal can be done through mechanical means (like scraping or sanding) or by stripping with paint remover.
- Total removal of defective areas is necessary before proceeding.
- Treating Powder Old Coatings: If the wall has old coatings that are powdery, you should apply 1 coat Clear Binder.
Application Method
Once the wall is properly prepared and the surface is clean and dry, you can apply the binder.
- Tool Choice: You can apply the binder using either a roller or a brush. Choose the tool that is most suitable for the area and provides even coverage.
- Number of Coats: The reference specifies applying one coat of the binder.
- Coverage: Apply the binder evenly across the entire surface you intend to treat.
By following these steps, ensuring the wall is clean and dry, addressing any defects, and using the specified application method and number of coats, you can effectively apply binder to your wall.
