Preparing surfaces for painting is a complex matter that requires high qualifications. But even this does not always prevent small cracks from appearing - the house shrinks, the plaster dries unevenly. As a result, we have small tears that spoil the appearance. Painting fiberglass is a material that makes easier preparation surfaces for painting, and also serves as protection against small cracks.

Painting fiberglass - what is it and why?

When the building shrinks or the plaster/putty dries, small cracks form on the walls and ceiling. They greatly spoil the appearance of painted surfaces. To prevent their formation when plastering, use a painting mesh. It reinforces finishing materials, preventing the formation of large cracks. Microcracks are combated with the help of painting fiberglass. It's thin non-woven material made from multiple glass fibers different thicknesses. The fibers are connected randomly to each other, which prevents cracks from appearing. There may be microcracks, but they are not visible. This determines the scope of application of painting fiberglass - to improve the quality of finishing of walls and ceilings.

To keep painted surfaces even and smooth, use a “cobweb”

The thickness of this material is small - it is translucent. Because of his appearance received the name "cobweb". Sold in rolls 1 meter wide, with different densities - from 20 g/m2 to 55 g/m2. The density is selected depending on the application. For interior works 30-40 g/m2 is more often used.

Fiberglass is glued with glue for glass wallpaper onto more or less even walls. It successfully masks small cracks (up to 0.5 mm wide) and irregularities, creating flat surface. That’s why this technology is becoming more widespread - it simplifies the preparation of walls for painting (putty), and the result is no worse. The same material can be glued to drywall. It successfully masks joints and prevents the formation of cracks in these places. The main thing when gluing is to place the seams of fiberglass away from the joints of the gypsum board.

Painting fiberglass is inconvenient to work with - the fiberglass breaks, and its smallest particles can get into the lungs. Therefore, you need to work in protective clothing and, preferably, a respirator. After it is pasted and hidden with several layers finishing materials, there is no talk of any migration of fiberglass. In this state it is absolutely harmless.

Methods of application

They glue painting fiberglass on level ground gypsum plaster or per layer starting putty. According to the technology, after gluing, leveling is required with a thin layer of finishing putty (for stripping), then a primer, and then painting. With this sequence of work, paint consumption is minimal, for good result 2 layers of paint are enough. Despite additional expenses on putty if you are using expensive paint, it is better to stick to this technique. This method is also used if the paint is glossy or semi-gloss.

There is another approach. The cobweb is glued and painted after drying. No puttying. The end result is a good result - a slightly structured surface with a slight “hairiness”. But it takes a lot of paint, and for a normal result you have to apply at least 4 layers. The first pass, the paint is absorbed very quickly, the consumption is 3-4 times more than normal. At the same time, the appearance of the wall is unsatisfactory: in some places there is not enough paint, in others - where we went over one place with a roller several times - there is a lot of it.

The second coat of paint takes almost half as much and looks a little better. Consumption continues to decrease, but not at the same rate. After 4 layers the appearance of the wall is already normal, but total The coloring composition is impressive.

To reduce paint consumption, after gluing, coat the painting fiberglass with a primer. Can be done in two layers. It will take a lot of primer, but much less paint. Moreover, even the first layer will lie well. For a good result, you will need 2-3 layers, but with normal consumption. So this method is also not bad, but it can be used with matte or semi-matte paint.

Bonding technology

Painting fiberglass canvas is glued to glass wallpaper adhesive. It is important that the glue is good, but it does not have to be expensive. The gluing technology is very similar to wallpapering:

As you can see, nothing complicated. Only all operations must be carried out carefully, achieving the best result that you are capable of.

There are several nuances regarding working conditions. There should be no drafts in the room, the temperature should not be lower than +15°C, humidity should be within normal limits. Keep doors and windows closed until the glue dries. If the sun is hot, it is better to curtain the windows. That's all, actually.

When conducting finishing works great importance given to each material involved in finishing. Modern tendencies dictate their own rules, which applies to high levels of cladding. Let's pay attention to fiberglass for painting: today this material is used in great demand at professional craftsmen. Let's consider its features, pros and cons, working methods and recommendations of specialists.

Peculiarities

Fiberglass is nothing more than construction material new generation, which prepares the base surface for finishing. This is not glass wallpaper, as those who are unfamiliar with this material mistakenly believe. This is a raw material in the form of a cobweb, which is sold in rolls 50 m long at meter wide. On construction market it appeared relatively recently. However, the quality of the material allows for something that was previously difficult to do during finishing.

The texture of fiberglass is a non-woven material. It consists of the finest fiberglass threads that can be pressed. Externally, fiberglass is thin and transparent. On a roll, the color of the web appears white. When examined, these are web-like threads connected to each other in a chaotic manner using an adhesive substance based on organic resins.

The raw material for the production of fiberglass is quartz sand. Density preparatory material for painting can vary from 25 to 50 g/m2. It is important when choosing raw materials for different planes. Usually for vertical surfaces Varieties with lower density are used. For walls you need the one that is denser. With increasing density, the mass of fiberglass becomes greater.

Scope of application

The scope of application of this material is extensive. Its use allows you to get rid of visual unevenness and obvious defects in the base without extensive preparatory work. Its function is reinforcement. This is a non-decorative material: after it is fixed to the base, it is puttied, and then the surface is painted or covered with wallpaper.

Fiberglass for painting is used on different substrates(from concrete to plaster and plasterboard). Due to high quality and operational characteristics, it can be used in rooms with different purposes. The type of premises can be residential or utility. Often this material is used to prepare the base of bedrooms, living rooms, offices, home libraries, bathrooms, hallways, and corridors.

The popularity of fiberglass for painting is due to the prevention of cracks. A surface finished with paint after reinforcement with gossamer will retain its attractive appearance for many years. You don't have to cover up cracks with fresh paint.

In addition, paintable fiberglass can be used in the construction industry for:

• increasing the service life of metal pipes;
• production of floor cladding and wall panels;
• waterproofing structures;
• implementation of drainage devices;
• preparation of mastics used in creating roofs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any building material, fiberglass has advantages and disadvantages.

Let's note the advantages.

• It is resistant to temperature changes. You can prepare the surface for painting in a mode from -40 to +60 degrees. This will not affect the quality of foundation preparation.
• Fiberglass is breathable and hygienic. Its use eliminates the formation of condensation and an environment for the appearance of fungus and mold.
• The material is not electrified as it is antistatic. For this reason, it does not accumulate dust.
• Application of the material has no negative impact on the health of household members. This is due to the environmental friendliness of fiberglass.
• It is hypoallergenic. This nuance is especially important for allergy sufferers.

• Fire resistance is one of the most significant advantages. This material is appreciated by every experienced craftsman.
• The price of fiberglass is affordable for every buyer, which allows for inexpensive and high-quality repairs. It can be bought at construction stores.
• Fiberglass is highly wear-resistant. It doesn't deteriorate over time, so you won't have to make repairs often.
• This material can be painted. Its uniqueness is the fact that painting can be done multiple times.

Having studied positive characteristics, let's note the shortcomings, because they are not so harmless.

It is necessary to work with fiberglass with extreme caution. This is due to the fact that during the process of leveling the base, small glass fragments may break off from the canvas. By digging into the skin, they can cause significant harm health, getting on the skin of the hands, body, sometimes in the eyes and respiratory organs. In some cases, skin itching is possible; if it gets into the eyes, you will have to consult a doctor.

Working with fiberglass requires the mandatory use of closed clothing. You need to wear gloves on your hands, a respirator and goggles on your face.

How to stick?

Let's look at the intricacies of using fiberglass for painting. This will allow you to become better acquainted with the material and understand the features of its application. Initially we create optimal conditions for work. It is better to carry them out at temperatures from +18 to +25 degrees. Windows when holding preparatory work must be closed. Drafts are excluded; you need to ensure that the fiberglass does not lie in the sun.

There are a few instructions to follow.

• Inspect the surface of the base. If there are significant defects on it (potholes, large chips), put the fiberglass aside. In this case, you first need to get rid of visible imperfections using putty or plaster mixture.
• After this, it is necessary to treat the base with a special primer. It is advisable to use a primer with high penetrating power. It will even out the surface structure, bind dust, and fill microcracks.

• After applying the primer, allow it to dry. As the material dries, a fine crystal lattice is formed on the surface, which promotes high adhesion. If you do not wait until drying is complete, the lattice film will be damaged.
• Fiberglass is not fixed with a whole panel. It must be cut into strips of such a size that it is convenient for you to work. At the same time, add small allowances to the edges (1 - 2 cm is enough).
• Prepare glue for fiberglass. Apply it to the back side along the sides and width. Distribute the adhesive evenly in a thin layer (no more than 1 mm).
• Start working from the corner of the plane. This could be a ceiling or a wall. After gluing the first strip, attach the second one next to it, and so on for the rest. This creates a small overlap, which must be trimmed after final fixation.
• To ensure that the joints of the fiberglass strips do not diverge, it is necessary to additionally impregnate them with glue, pressing especially carefully with a spatula. Experts emphasize the importance of this stage.

Now leave the base to dry for 2 days. Then putty it, then sand it down to make it smooth. Before painting, re-prime the surface and let it dry.

How to paint?

Once the surface is prepared, you can begin painting. To prevent it from causing trouble, it is important to choose the right coloring composition, of which there are many types today.

You can choose paint:

• water-based;
• acrylic;
• silicone;
• latex.

A distinctive feature of this type of painting is the need to apply several layers. You cannot apply two layers at once: it will warp or peel off in layers in a fairly short time, exposing the base with putty. Failure to comply with the technology for using paint compositions can reduce the service life of the paint. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to paint such a surface several times.

To ensure high-quality paint application, it is important to choose the right tool. In this case, the brush is only suitable for painting joints and corners. Using a roller will be more appropriate. It will speed up the painting time and allow you to put thin layer, which will reduce the consumption of the coloring composition.

Dip the roller into a container of paint, squeeze it out a little and roll it across the plane. Do not use a tool with a foam rubber coat: the foam rubber will crumble into pieces. We need an analogue with pile. Movements must be in different sides: This will allow the paint to adhere better and more evenly. Do not forget that the surfaces must be puttied and primed before painting. When painting, you can apply two or three layers of the composition.

To ensure that the surface preparation for painting using fiberglass is of high quality, Let's turn to the recommendations of professionals in the field of construction and finishing.

• After you have glued the web to the surface, strengthen its fixation. To do this, dilute the glue to a liquid consistency and spread on top. It should saturate the fiberglass.
• Do not ignore starting work if it is really necessary. If you do not have enough experience, you can invite a specialist to help prepare the foundation.
• Do the work efficiently and without haste. The strength and reliability of the entire base will depend on how firmly you glue the fiberglass.
• As an adhesive, you can use the glue that is used to glue glass wallpaper. Such mixtures contain special inclusions that prevent the formation of fungus. If you are in doubt about your choice, ask the seller: not every wallpaper glue is appropriate here.

• When choosing dry glue, dilute it correctly. Pay attention to the harmless compositions Bostik, Wellton, Oscar, Pufas: they have positive reviews from buyers and construction professionals.
• If you need a glossy surface, buy latex paint.

Fiberglass reinforces walls and ceilings. Thus, in its qualities it is similar to glass wallpaper, but unlike the latter, it can be painted many times without worrying about the relief or pattern, since it does not have any.

How to glue fiberglass and what is it?

What is fiberglass? These are smooth and “spiky” translucent sheets consisting of fiberglass strands connected to each other by pressing. The texture is similar to a cobweb. The canvas comes in a roll measuring 1mx50m. Fiberglass has a number of advantages:

• durable
• bends easily
• not afraid chemical substances, fire and water
• not static
• not allergic

How to glue fiberglass for painting

First of all, to know how to glue fiberglass, you need to understand why it needs to be done. Firstly, the canvas can be glued to any surface: concrete, drywall, plastic, brick, chipboard or metal. Secondly, it perfectly hides small cracks and irregularities, and also prevents the formation of new ones. The web perfectly withstands the loads during the shrinkage of the building, thus protecting the walls and ceiling from falling plaster and tearing the wallpaper. This is an ideal material for leveling room surfaces. Using fiberglass, the effect of smoothness and evenness is achieved. Before you start working with the canvas, you need to prepare the surface.

To do this, it is cleaned of dust and large cracks are filled with putty. You can identify small or large cracks using a spatula. If the crack is wider than the blade of a putty knife, then it needs to be filled with putty. But if the blade does not fit into the crack, then there is no need to putty it. Then the walls are primed. This is done with a glue solution or a deep-soluble primer.

Next, the process of gluing the canvas begins. Since glue is not applied to the canvas, but rather covers the surface of walls or ceilings, the procedure for gluing fiberglass is much simpler than gluing wallpaper. The work uses glue for glass wallpaper, which is usually sold complete with cobwebs. The sheets are glued end to end. The seams are smoothed with a spatula. It is possible, and even experts advise, to glue the canvases overlapping. They are glued in the same way when the surfaces of the rooms are curved or broken. And also if the edges of the roll are tousled or damaged.

How to properly glue fiberglass

What can fiberglass be glued to? Allowed - on any type of surface for interior decoration. The first stage is applying glue to the surface. Next, fiberglass is glued. To ensure that the canvas is tightly attached to the wall, smooth it slightly with a roller from the middle to the edges over the entire surface. Thus, excess glue and air are expelled from under the sheet. The top is covered with a layer of glue. Using a spatula, rub the glue well into the fiberglass, since the canvas must be completely saturated. This can be determined by the color of the canvas. When the canvas is well saturated with glue, it is darker. The edges of the sheet are not smoothed much. Glue is applied to the next part of the wall.

When applying glue, we go a little onto the already glued sheet. A new piece of canvas is applied to this part of the surface and glued to the wall, overlapping the first part. The area where two sheets overlap is easily smoothed with a spatula. Next, the overlap of two sheets of fiberglass is cut with a knife. It can be clerical.

Get rid of excess cut strips of the first and second sheets, from above and from under the canvas. It is smoothed well with a spatula, with light pressure, at the junction of the canvases. The result is an invisible seam. The seam area and the entire fabric are covered with a layer of glue. And so, step by step, we cover the entire planned area of ​​the wall or ceiling. It is necessary to give the surface time to dry thoroughly. Next, you can paint. However, experienced painters do not recommend doing this immediately after the glue has dried. Because fiberglass absorbs paint well and its consumption will be very high. Moreover, the texture of the canvas will be visible from under the paint, even if you apply it in several layers. Accordingly, the appearance will not be aesthetic.

By using fiberglass to decorate the room and following the technology, you will forever forget about cracks and deformations of the surfaces of walls and ceilings.

Fiberglass how to glue video

In rooms with high level Decorative functions and high wear resistance of finishing materials are important for cross-country ability. The simplest and economical option is preliminary gluing of walls with fiberglass, and then painting them.

Before starting work related to the use of fiberglass, you will have to carry out work, including puttying and priming. As soon as the plastered and primed wall is completely dry, you can continue work, that is, proceed to decorating the walls with fiberglass.

What is fiberglass?

Painting fiberglass is called environmentally friendly modern material, created on the basis of mineral glass fiber and certain organic resins. This non-woven solid fiber does not have a pronounced pattern that characterizes glass wallpaper; in it, glass fiber threads are arranged in a chaotic manner.

Fiberglass has an acceptable cost, it is often called fiberglass, a common name is “spider web”, since this material has a soft and pleasant texture. There is a division of this material into various classes depending on density (thickness).

The cost of fiberglass depends on the density, as well as its performance characteristics. Professionals recommend selecting several different classes of fiberglass for arranging the ceiling surface, that is, in the range of 25-35 g/m2, obtaining a guaranteed light and reliable coating.

If the density of the fiberglass is higher, it will be able to withstand significant mechanical loads, and no unpleasant cracks or deformations will form on it.

It is a mistaken belief that glass cullets and cobwebs are the same material. – roll decorative coating, which is produced by weaving from fiberglass.

Fiberglass - special material, obtained by pressing glass fiber threads for wall decoration. Fiberglass does not have a special pattern, so it can be painted an unlimited number of times. In terms of cost, the difference between fiberglass and glass wallpaper is 2-2.5 times.

Material advantages

• increased fire safety;
• durability;
• heat resistance;
• durability.

Don't miss the opportunity to use them in your modern and stylish interior.

Work order

Let's try to understand the intricacies technological process and also give some useful tips for those who want to perform these actions on their own.

1. First you need to cut a roll of fiberglass, cut several pieces of the required length, not forgetting about 10-15 centimeter allowances for combining the pattern. Do not forget that the fiberglass Gossamer is painted after gluing, the canvas must retain a certain pattern, otherwise there will be all joints are visible, the aesthetic characteristics of the surface will be impaired. To glue the first piece of fiberglass, you will need a spirit level.



2. All subsequent pieces of fiberglass are glued end-to-end; if there is damage at the ends of the sheet, gluing is done with an overlap. If you choose the overlapping method of gluing fiberglass sheets, all damaged edges will have to be trimmed after gluing, resulting in an absolutely even joint.
3. Next, the glued canvas is smoothed evenly with a wallpaper spatula.

How to glue fiberglass to the surface of the ceiling and walls

Special glue for fiberglass

1. To glue fiberglass, you will need a special glue; its label should contain information that this glue is suitable for working with fiberglass.



2. The glue must be made by a reputable manufacturer, otherwise you cannot be sure of its quality.



Also note that you will have to apply the glue directly to the walls or ceiling themselves, and not to the fiberglass.

It is important to start pasting in the direction from the light, that is, start from the wall that is located near the window. Craftsmen who have skills in working with fiberglass recommend using a material whose density is 25 g/m2.



If an inexperienced builder purchases fiberglass of higher density, there is a high risk that after a while it will simply fall off the wall.



When covering the ceiling or walls with fiberglass, the windows in the room must be closed, that is, drafts are not allowed. It is advisable to carry out any work related to gluing fiberglass to the ceiling (wall) in special protective clothing, for example, use gloves and overalls.



Otherwise, there is a high risk that irritation will appear on the skin. allergic reactions. You can use a respirator to protect your respiratory organs from dust.



Fiberglass can be painted only after it is completely dry. Want to see the texture of fiberglass? In this case, apply no more than two layers of paint to the walls, all before gluing the fiberglass to the wall surface.

Using fiberglass web allows you to make interior decoration both more durable and smooth. A different kinds fiberglass, each of which has its own characteristics, makes it easy to choose the appropriate option for any conditions - from the ceiling of an apartment to the walls of an industrial building.

By using fiberglass web, you can increase the strength of the surface of ceilings and walls, reducing the likelihood of cracks without the use of expensive technologies and saving time. These features make “cobweb” one of the most popular finishing materials. Although for different conditions It is advisable to use your own type of fiberglass and a suitable adhesive for it.

What is a "web"

Painting fiberglass is called environmentally friendly and lightweight material, created on the basis of fiberglass and organic resin. He is non-woven fabric, very tensile and does not have a clear pattern. The surface of the canvas consists of fibers, which, unlike glass wallpaper, do not intertwine and are arranged in a chaotic manner. And the material got its name due to its soft and pleasant to the touch texture.

Depending on the thickness, the “web” is divided into classes. On the market you can find options with densities from 25 to 65 g/m2. m. The higher this indicator, the stronger the surface finished with fiberglass will be. However, for ceilings, on the contrary, it is recommended to choose more easy option, which holds better on a horizontal surface.

Types and parameters

Three main types are used in construction - with a density of 25, 40 and 50 g/m2. The first option, 1 m2 of which weighs only 25 grams, is optimal when painting ceilings, since the lower weight increases the convenience of gluing. Because of this, the material is often called “ceiling cobweb”. In addition, fiberglass with a low density absorbs less paint. However, it can only be used if there are no large surface irregularities or cracks.

“Gossamer” with a density of 40 g/m2 is considered universal, since it is almost twice as strong as lightweight material and cheaper than thicker options. This option is chosen for subsequent painting of surfaces that are more likely to be damaged than the ceiling. It is allowed to use fiberglass for ceiling, finished with dilapidated plaster, and in rooms with high vibration load.

One of the most durable types of “gossamer” - material with a density of 50 g/m2 - allows you to close large cracks. Withstanding a large mechanical load, it may become the only option for finishing the premises of a production workshop, workshop or garage, where the likelihood of damage to the enclosing structures is much higher. The cost of its installation increases - both due to the price of the “gossamer” and due to the fact that the higher density also increases the consumption of glue for fiberglass web. Due to the significant costs, this option is practically not used in residential buildings and apartments.

Benefits of fiberglass

For purchase quality material It is advisable to choose products from well-known brands - such as the Finnish company Wellton, the Dutch brand Spektrum and the Swedish manufacturers Samtex and Oscar. It is worth paying attention to domestic production– for example, on fiberglass webbing X Glass, produced in different regions Russia. Depending on the brand and density, their price can vary significantly - from $100 to $250 and more per roll of 50 m2.

Materials such as Oscar fiberglass fiberglass, which is wear-resistant and affordable price. It can only be cut or torn on purpose using sharp objects. Fiberglass of this brand requires a minimum of paint - even if Painting works carried out without putty. And paint it, unlike products less famous brands, it is possible repeatedly.

Wellton painting fiberglass canvas is also in demand when carrying out repair and construction work, the advantages of which include:

• increased fire safety due to the non-flammability of the material;
• resistance to impact high temperatures, humidity and aggressive environments;
• hypoallergenic;
• long service life;
• high density.

Regardless of the brand of “spider web”, among its advantages there are the following characteristics:

• environmental friendliness, which is expressed in the ability of fiberglass-lined walls to “breathe”, allowing water vapor to pass through and maintaining optimal level humidity;
• absence of static on the surface;
• easy cleaning - even painted fiberglass is easier to clean compared to other finishing materials.

A minor disadvantage of using a “web” is the danger of getting hurt by small particles of material when cutting it. For this reason, it is best to work with fiberglass while wearing personal protection– hand gloves, respirators, goggles, rubberized and thick clothing.

Application of material

The most popular application for painting fiberglass is for walls that are already plastered and finished with plasterboard. In this case, the material quite effectively replaces finishing putty, preventing the appearance of new flaws and cracks, and hiding old ones. At the same time, the use of fiberglass web allows you to additionally reinforce the base - a wall or ceiling - if it is impossible to use drywall (for example, for fear of reducing the height of an already small room due to plasterboard sheets and profiles holding them). You can also buy fiberglass instead of embossed wallpaper - installing the “web” will require less time and money.

In the absence of serious requirements for the quality of the surface, the “cobweb” does not even need to be puttied. It is enough to use special glue for fiberglass and paint it. Although this costs 2–3 times more paint.

Thanks to the use of fiberglass for painting, walls and ceilings are protected from cracks as a result of:

• building shrinkage;
• thermal expansion of enclosing structures;
• constant exposure to vibrations from nearby equipment, construction equipment or railways.

Fiberglass, which is glued only with special glue for webs, can also be used as an intermediate layer for polymer and vulcanized roofing materials. To ensure adhesion, the coating is protected with a cloth on one side. You can also find fiberglass in the composition waterproofing materials, wall and floor panels, and even pipelines, for which the “web” serves as additional protection.

Features of the “cobweb” sticker

There are several nuances that allow you to both correctly glue fiberglass and do it with minimum consumption materials. First of all, before carrying out work, you must make sure that certain conditions are met - temperature within 15-25°C and humidity not higher than 60%. During the gluing process, the fiberglass should not be exposed to a draft or direct sunlight. Approximately the same requirements are indicated in the instructions for Bostik fiberglass adhesive, which is one of best options when performing work.

The process of gluing the “cobweb” begins with preparing the surface, which must be cleaned of dust and completely puttied, except for the smallest cracks. At the same stage, you choose which glue for fiberglass will be used. First of all, you should refuse ordinary solutions and mixtures used to glue wallpaper - starch-based substances do not hold such fabric well. More suitable option may be the use of Bostik glue for fiberglass, which contains PVA with a strength several times higher than that of a starch base.

It is not recommended to choose plaster as a base - due to high density it will not be able to be saturated with glue and will not hold the canvas firmly enough. Liquid putty is also not suitable, and after trying to stick a “web” on it, bubbles may appear in places that are not sufficiently saturated with the adhesive. All this can only be avoided by using glue for fiberglass - ready-made or in the form of a mixture.

It is advisable to use different adhesives for each type of “cobweb”:

• fiberglass adhesive Oscar will become the best option for sticking material of the same brand with a density of 40 g/m2. m;
• for Wellton brand fiberglass, a similar adhesive is best suited;
• At the same time, Cleo glue for fiberglass, which is also used for non-woven wallpaper, is compatible with any brand of canvas.

You can achieve optimal consumption of the mixture by calculating that 10 grams is enough for 1 square meter. m fiberglass. And one 300-gram pack is enough for a 25-meter roll. The preparation time for the solution, if it is not purchased ready-made, but dry, does not exceed 10–15 minutes. And setting occurs within 12–48 hours, depending on the brand of glue and fiberglass - you can check the specific value on the packaging with the mixture.

The method of gluing fiberglass consists of several stages:

1. Treatment of walls or ceilings with deep impregnation.
2. Applying pre-prepared glue. Using this method of gluing fiberglass to the ceiling or walls, it is important not to miss a single unimpregnated area. At the same time, you should not leave excess adhesive, which is removed with a spatula.
3. Gluing the first sheet, starting from the corner, and smoothing the edges of the material to improve the reinforcing properties.
4. Applying the next portion of glue to the already glued part (the canvases are glued overlapping).
5. Laying the next piece of fiberglass.
6. Cutting the canvases using a stationery knife precisely at the joint and removing the cut parts.
7. Repeat the same steps until the surface is finished.

Regardless of whether the walls or ceilings will be wallpapered or painted, after completely dry fiberglass they are treated with finishing putty. And the already puttied surface is cleaned using abrasive mesh(N150 or N120). It is not recommended to skip this stage, since gluing fiberglass for painting without additional leveling will only result in a large waste of paint.

After completion of the work, the remains of Oscar glue for fiberglass or other mixture, as well as the “cobwebs” remaining after the work, should be disposed of along with the rest of the construction waste.
