of those ways in removing plaster on your wall that you can use as a reference.
Steps to Remove Wall Plaster
The first thing to prepare
before removing plaster walls are
safety gloves, safety glasses, a mask and ear plugs. Removing plasters on walls
enables dirt to fly to you and by wearing those tools you’ll be protected from
any dust and debris. Moreover, it’s known that plaster flies easily to anywhere
so it’s better to protect your body from it. After preparing the equipment for
your body, start covering the floor with plastic or plywood to ease the
cleaning session. It’s better to choose plywood rather than plastic to cover
the floor since it’s easily cleaned and lifted. Beside covering the floor with
plywood or plastic prepare the trash can in that room to ease in throwing the
plaster after removing it. If it’s needed, prepare 2 trash cans at once since
you don’t know whether one is enough. Preparing the trash cans beforehand also
eases you in dropping the residue rather waiting until it accumulates.
Cut the plaster from the wall first or from the ceiling
Next, decide whether you want
to cut the plaster from the wall first or from the ceiling. It’s also better to
decide the tools to remove the plaster like using a hammer, a reciprocating saw
or any other tools. The tools influence the technique and the length of time to
remove the plaster. Then, make sure that you place the water, gas, power and
waste lines in the safe place before you remove the plaster. If you want to
avoid any damage it’s better to turn the power off before beginning the job. After
all those things are done, start cutting the plaster. If you utilize a
reciprocating saw start cutting between the studs and remove the plaster using
a flatbar and using a hammer to remove the lathe.
Removing wall plaster which sticks strongly
When removing wall plaster
it’s possible to find the leftover adhesive on the wall which still sticks
strongly. Commonly people want to have clean and smooth wall from any plasters
and to get a clean wall you can utilize wallpaper stripper. In order to remove
the plaster from the wall completely you need to utilize pump sprayer,
wallpaper stripper and scraper blade. Fill the pump sprayer with water and
spray it along with the wallpaper stripper. Let the water and wallpaper
stripper to work for few minutes. The glue in the plaster will soften with those
two substances. After few minutes lift the wallpaper and see whether the glue
has disappeared. If it isn’t reapply the spray and let it for few more minutes.
