anchors.The size of the nails, the screws, and the wall anchors will depend on
the size of pictures you are going to hang. Nails can only be used for small
pictures, while wood screws are appropriate for big pictures.
How to
hang pictures on plaster walls
First of all, make a hole with the cordless
drill. The hole should be smaller than the nails or screws you are going to
use. Making a hole will not be necessary if the nail you are going to use is
very small, but still, carefulness is a must when you tap it with a hammer.
Making the hole should be done carefully,
especially when the drill hits the slats. The extreme vibration or hit on a
slat will shake the entire wall and may disengage the plaster from the slats.
Then, put the wall anchor carefully into the
hole. The wall anchor functions as a fastener when the screw is longer than the
wall thickness. However, it won’t be needed if the hole you made is right on
the wall stud. When the hole is right on the stud, you can screw the wood screw
directly without planting a wall anchor first.
When the nails or screws are ready, you can
hang your pictures on it. If in case you feel that one screw is not enough, you
can make additional holes below the pictures.
Painting
plaster walls
Painting
plaster walls requires more labor-intensive works than painting a drywall. It
needs more process and more paint, which makes it quite expensive. Rather than
spending your money to pay someone to paint your plaster wall, you can paint it
by yourself by following the guides below.
Wait until the plaster is dry
First of all, the plaster should be totally
dry. The length of time needed to wait depends on the plaster used. Painting
when they are still damp or even wet will make the wall becomes moldy, because
the paint coats will seal the surface of the wet plaster which makes the
plaster cannot ‘breathe’.
Clean the plaster
When the plaster is totally dry, you can do
the next step; cleaning. Make sure that the overall surface is smooth by
sanding the plaster, don’t forget to use a dust mask because the very soft dust
will be dangerous for your lung. Lastly, remove the dust residue from the
surface using a damp sponge, but make sure that you don’t wet it.
Start with primer coat
In making primer coats, there are two options
that you can choose. Using plaster sealer, or mist coats. The latter option can
be made by mixing one part of water withfour parts of matt water-based paint.
Apply the paint all over the plaster surface.
You can use a roll for a larger area to make it quick, and use a brush for
small areas. If one coat does not seem enough, you may give another coat to be
sure.
Finishing
Once the primer coat is dry, it is ready to be
painted. It is important to note that the use of the same roller or brush is
not recommended because there must be unwanted dust from the plaster on the
used roller or brush. That dust will make the finishing coat look scratched and
messy instead of smooth. Use new roller and brush, or wash them with water for
a better result of painting.
One important tip is, lay down some drop
cloths under the wall you are working on and cover your windows and doors frame
with tape or paper. Doing that way, you won’t need to waste your time cleaning
the paint drops after painting.
